You wondered how many Goanetters or their forefathers were taken by the brits as coolies or indentured labour to East Africa? I would doubt very much if any Christian Goans would be in this list and that applies to the Hindu Goans. Since Christian Goans had to know the Romi script and many had a working knowledge of English or Portuguese there was no reason fo become Coolies and to cross the ocean to do so. Moreover Goans who migrated went as professionals,,,baker, tailors, compounders , doctors, lawyers, what would lure them to be labourers. Perhaps digging for gold I am looking with great interest to see any response...you might have to duck the stones, mangoes or even stall eggs Adolfo In great surprise
