I’m trying to seek and obtain assistance in locating and communicating with all Sancho, but specifically 

1. Lorna, principal of New Amsterdam Technical Institute,
2. F. Sancho a miller of the Guyana Milling Company, T.
3. Anson Sancho, 
4. Harold Lutchman 
5. Barton Scotland. 

The Sancho, a Guyanese family is in the process of identifying all of it clan. Where ever they can be found. The Sancho claim to be descended from none other than the eighteenth century England black man of Letters and Arts, Ignatius Sancho 1729 -1780. Those who are Ignatius Sancho, scholars and their academic community very lightly regard this claim. Here is a sample –
 “As to the Sanchos in various places in the world, I think it very unlikely that any are descendents of Ignatius Sancho. Most Caribbean islands were colonized at some point by Spanish settlers, and Sancho is a common name in Spain. Best  wishes”

Speaking on the behalf of the Sancho of Guyana, I would be grateful to any and all help, you can provide and or indirectly account for in reuniting the all Caribbean Sancho, those of Trinidad   with those of Guyana. There is a need to publicize this claim and document the story of Sancho. Genealogy, a field of study in Guyana, is done rather sparingly, I know of only the Westmaas, Gaskins, St. Kitts of Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara, and an East Indian Family from Blairmont, who have their story published on the information superhighway.

1. Is there any way the National Archives could be made available, for researching the Sancho family?
2. Where are the records of black individuals who arrived from England in the era of Abolition and Apprenticeship, kept? 
3. Are shipping records available in Guyana for that era?

The need to retrace the footsteps of the ancestor Lambert Tuckness Sancho and his brothers, Bentinck and John Sancho. Are you willing to assist and open doors for the Sancho family, as they research and document their story?
