Dear Rochelle,
Although I cannot comment on census records for Goa, having investigated the
registration records of the Portuguese consulate in Zanzibar, the categories
are very specific. So I got for instance in 1889, the exact number of cooks,
tailors, carpenters, servants, cobblers, coachmen, waiters, and many other
categories.
The Bombay census records are all online. You can access these easily. They are
very informative about the types of occupations Goans engaged in Bombay,
although Goans are at times listed as Goanese and at other times lumped with
Native Christians, and/or Portuguese. Here too you will get specifics.
Good luck and let us know how you're getting on.Selma

I think that you know by now that,Konkani was called 'the servants language',
for a major part of the colonial period,although there were some missionaries
who wrote in this language books for the local population to understand the
doctrines of Christianity .Your work needs to also study the role of the
Siddhis of Janjira who still speak the Salcette dialect of the Konkani language
today in Karnataka and who have local Christian names like
Bostaio,Marie,etc.and do study the role of the kunbis of Goa.,who were denied
admission to the primary schools as their labour was required to work in the
fields and in the property of the bhatcars.(landlords).
Best wishes,Prof.Sushila Sawant Mendes

Dear Rochelle,
Your project sounds really interesting. While I don't have the exact
information you need via census documents, I'm working on servitude and slavery
in the early 19th century in Goa, and India more broadly (for a work of
historical fiction). If you would like, I am happy to send you the references
that I found useful. My email is [email protected].
All the best with your project. It's important work that you are doing.
Best wishes,
Roanna

Good day
My name is Rochelle Fernandes. I am a PhD student at BITS Pilani, Goa. I am
working on servitude in Colonial Goa. Has anyone come across census records of
servants during the Portuguese Rule in Goa? I wanted to know if servants were
listed and how they were labelled.
All inputs are highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards Rochelle
