    3. Does anyone know of a source of names of "East" Indian indentured workers to Jamaica? Some became valued citizens, and seeing "Coolie" in the Parish Registers is very distressing, besides being useless in identifying the person. By the way, what exactly was a "planter" in 1838? I think I understand what "apprentice" meant at that time, and, of course "free". Is "planter" the same as "agriculturist"? Thanks, Joan Garcia --
