Is there any other Afro Guyanese who can substantiate this ?

I thought these folks were of ZULU origin .

where are records of the slaves name and country of capture ?

Guyana national Archives ? 

as in the case of the indentureds from India  :-\

I will ask Granger

[/quote] You don't seem like a bright fellow . Any one with a little knowledge of History and Geography will know that  the Zulus are from South Africa , mainly concentrated in the province of Natal .
Moreover you should have known that slaves mostly came from West Africa

Note that Ghana is only close in spelling to Guyana  :

Home of the Ashanti !

and they ended up mostly in Jamaica , where they morphed into Rastafaris.

some help for Jala in finding his roots :

I have an extra compass IF you wanna borrow ! 

 

Jala claims he is from this Kingdom as well  ::LOL:: It is now called Benin


Dahomey was an African kingdom which lasted from about 1600 until 1894 :

when the last chief Behanzin was defeated by the French

and the country was annexed into the French colonial empire

! No longer available


The Dutch brought them, so probably some north western coastal part of Africa. The shortest route from Africa to Guyana is from the Gold Coast to Guyana, which was controlled by the Dutch.

EDIT- some info here:

Okay so maybe ramesh is Mandingo or Buju !

I wouldda guess the Congo : but there are not traits of him being a Cannibal  ::LOL::

Guyana was also a Dutch colony
