Agostini of Golden Grove and Nabaclis

I am seeking to communicate with relatives and descendants of Agostini of Golden Grove and Nabaclis Village District I need to verify data. Also I need to clarify what appears in my recollection. I am very sure there was a male school teacher named Agostini resident in the Golden Grove and Nabaclis Village District. Also there were and/or are folks surnamed Agostini and Blackman who are or were known to be relatives and resident in Golden Grove and Nabaclis Village District

DEPUTY CHAIRMAN:
OVERSEER :

Agostini is simply another of the names of people who have disappeared from the Golden Grove and Nabaclis Village District, and Guyana as a whole. People with German and Dutch names and African names have disappeared from the community. It would be interesting to list the surnames of people known to reside in the area of interest in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which have disappeared from Golden Grove and Nabaclis and Guyana. It is known numerous persons of Portuguese heritage have migrated to the vicinity of Toronto in Ontario in Canada.
What surnames are you aware of have disappeared from Guyana?

  1. I am the great-granddaughter of W. E. (William Edward) Agostini. I think the teacher you are referring to is my (now deceased) grandfather, Dr. Malcolm Agostini. Edward Agostini, whose CV you have detailed, is my great-uncle. The Blackmans are my relatives as well - my (now deceased) great-aunt is Enid (Agostini) Blackman. Her children now live in Guyana, the United States, and Canada.
