Spent an interesting day at the [British] National Archives at the Kew, and I have some information to share with anyone who has ancestors from SURINAME. As people with ancestors who lived there early in the 19th century probably know, there was a 1811 census of Suriname on which many Jewish families appear. Lists of the families can be found at https://deniekasan.wordpress.com/familieberichten-suriname/volkstelling-1811-suriname/ ["Black" and "Free Coloured" families] and https://deniekasan.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/vt-1811-suriname2.pdf ["White" families plus slaves]. What isn't obvious from these lists is if the census had more data, and I can report the awesome news that they do! The other good news is I will be going back next week to photograph the records from at least some of the families in the Jewish community. I can't share the images (according to the copyright info I have to sign), but if you had family members in Paramaribo or Jodensavanne in 1811, look up their name and # on the lists and IM it to me by next Monday evening, and I will try to get the full record info for you. e.g. 595 Susanna Brandon & family 576 278/24 Coloured OR 1 672 Abarbanel J. & children. Sadly the racial information is important to include as they are filed in different books.
