Long Live Paternal Ancestors - Long Live Collateral Relatives

  Venerate Ancestors Drop Beliefs  Let's do genealogy networking.

This Mande is truthful. He a truth warrior. He is extremely sincere and loyal to the DNA of his ancestors. During the first nine days of the winter solstice he pays homage to his most recent ancestor,  While numerous imitation Europeans subscribe to fantasy and fiction he choose to call his ancestors and loved ones by the names he is aware of. 

This researcher  needs to be enlightened.  His AIM is  to identify ancestors and relatives of Jacob Martin. In this effort,  He is interested in being made aware of the names of the immediate relatives of the paternal grandfather of this researcher.  The names of the parents, grandparents  and great- grandparents of  Jacob Martin are unknown.

This researcher needs to ascertain who our common ancestors and other relatives are.

This Martin is  particularly interested in the names of the ancestral villages as per the ancestors. 

This researcher recalls members of prior generations said ancestors and relatives of Jacob Stanley Martin migrated from Barbados to British Guiana. From West Demerara, Martin settled in the basins of Essequebo and Berbice rivers. Jacob Stanley Martin resided at Hopetown, West Coast Berbice.

This Martin is convinced his paternal grandfather, Jacob Stanley Martin, is somehow a relative of Abraham, Small, Reddock, Smith, Mitchell, Mann, Wade, Dodson, Woodruffe,  Hamilton and Sills.  

1. Are you willing for us to explore and exhaust every avenue to ascertain the recent and prior common ancestors?  
2. What are their names and/or surnames pf your Martin relatives?  
3. Are you aware of our Martin relatives in West Demerara, Essequebo and Barbados?
4. What are the names and/or surnames of your parents, grandparents and great-grand-parents and great-great-grand-parents? 
5. What are the names of the rural and other communities in which your ancestors and other relatives reside? 

M'Lilwana Osanku is soliciting information respecting the immediate relatives of  Marion 'Sissy' Martin. this information exhibit Marion 'Sissy' Martin resided at Pouderoyen. She has a son named Simeon King. He was birthed in 1898. Perhaps,  Marion 'Sissy' Martin and her King relatives and other relatives are DNA relatives of M'Lilwana Osanku, other Martin people linked to Hopetown, New Amsterdam, West Demerara and elsewhere in Guyana but also to Martin and Braithwaite and other groups in Barbados.

5. Denise Alexandra Martin Earle
6. Dudley Brentnol Martin
7. Edwin Alfred Martin 
8. Millicent Enid Martin, Mahaica and Clarence Alfred Roger Martin, Pouderoyen, Demerara

This researcher needs to be enlightened. His primary interests is identifying his Martin ancestors and relatives of his paternal grandfather Jacob Stanley Martin. The names of his immediate relatives of generations prior to Jacob Stanley Martin and his siblings remain unknown. The names of the first cousins of of Claude Martin, Jacob Martin, Johnny Martin and William Martin. Are unknown

This researcher is seeking the following; 

• The family history and genealogy of Jacob Stanley Martin, relatives of George Eleazar Ross, of Hopetown, West Coast Berbice, Evelyn Albertha Martin Caesar of Bachelor’s Adventure, East Coast Demerara, Ulric Kendall New Amsterdam and Beryl Martin
• The names of the parents, grandparents, and great-great-grandparents of Claude Martin, Jacob Martin, Johnny Martin and William Martin.
•  The names of the Martin migrants from Barbados into British Guiana
•  The names of the immediate relatives of  the Martin migrants
•   The names of the  communities in which the Martin migrants were resident in Barbados and  British Guiana. Who do you recommend will enlightened this Martin family researcher  respecting the exact family ties  of our Martin relatives linked to Bushy Park,  Hyde Park and Farm and elsewhere on East Bank Essequebo and Den Amstel,  Pouderoyen, and elsewhere on West Coast Demerara
• Identifying DNA relatives who use  AncestryDNA, 23andMem and GEDmatch
• link this Martin family researcher with your Martin family historians. 
•  Dudley Brentnol Martin and Edwin Alfred Martin 
•  John Martin departed August 17, 1838 in Essequebo.
•  Albert Martin, birthed in Barbados, shoemaker, Main Street, New Amsterdam, departed before June 17, 1897 in Berbice.
•   Edward McLaren Martin, of Klien Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara c. 1910
•  Millicent Enid Martin Mahaica and Clarence Alfred and their descendants; Jean Bodkin,  Frank Gaul, Reginald Martin, Yolanda Martin, Martin Gaul, Edgar Martin, Nadia Martin, Monica Martin, Joe Martin, Hilary Martins
• M'Lilwana Osanku  is also seeking  the immediate relatives of Marion 'Sissy' Martin. this information exhibit Marion 'Sissy' Martin resided at Pouderoyen. She has a son named Simeon King. He was birthed in 1898. Perhaps, Marion 'Sissy' Martin and her King relatives and other relatives  and every Martin mention herein  are DNA relatives of M'Lilwana Osanku, Also, other Martin people linked to Hopetown, New Amsterdam, West Demerara and elsewhere in Guyana but also to Martin and Braithwaite and other groups in Barbados. .

 DNA tests results at AncestryDNA, 23andMem and GEDmatch introduced this researcher to Martin and Brathwaite  of Barbados seeking relatives linked to Guyana. Unfortunately, nothing concrete has materialized. 

This Martin expects second and third cousins in the rural communities of West Demerara. He expects to be enlightened respecting the names of his great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather. It is likely the ancestors preceding  great-great-grandfather are in Barbados and West Africa. 

It’s most helpful to have first, second, and third cousin DNA matches to help us identify the possible names of our grandparents.  Most people in the United States will have several DNA matches that fit into these categories.

Is it possible there are Guyanese Africans without Barbadian African heritage?

 This Porto-Bantu is intelligent enough to prefer Upper Corentyne, Corentyne, Canje, Berbice, East Coast Demerara, Essequebo, Guyana, West Indies, West Africa, African nations and southern India, Indian nations - in that order. 

This Porto-Bantu is cognizant he has Barbados Africans experience in his ancestral heritage. Campbell and Martin are surnames of his ancestors and relatives in Barbados. Brathwaite are linked to Martin. This Porto-Bantu is not aware whether Brathwaite are his ancestral names. He has numerous relatives named Brathwaite. They are descendants of Archer in Essequebo. 

Seymour Nurse is his last favorite Barbadian batsman. 1954, Kanhai is the beginning of cricket. 1979 WSC Fredericks is the end. 2014, Hetmyer is the renaissance. 

Mother listened to Kanhai at the crease. Father turned off the radio when Kanhai and Butcher were dismissed. This Porto-Bantu only pays attention to Hetmyer and promising Berbice cricketers. Knowledge of self is the highest state of intelligence. It is consciousness.  It is the greatest aspect of human existence.  Spirituality permits humans to respect every life on earth. Humanity is ancestral consciousness. Understanding the absurdities of imitation Europeans is a mark of intelligence.   ethnic and community consciousness enhances natural rights. 

The problem with West Indies cricket is the administrators except for Clyde Walcott - the greatest known cricket brain in West Indies cricket - have all failed to eradicate malfunctions of the European construct from the regional game. The cleavage to European construct as political geography as the mark for selection in West Indies teams is the cross suffocating West Indies cricket 1995 -2024.  It took a Shamar Joseph performance reminiscent of greatest West indies internationals from Tommy Burton  to Learie Constantine in the pre-test match era – and from Constantine to Walsh, Ambrose and Bishop; to win a test match in Australia.  It is possible there is no Guyanese African without Barbadian African heritage. However, Clyde Walcott remains the only cricketer and administrator who promoted the rise of Guyana cricket. Until recently, Ambrose, Roberts and Roland Butcher made great contributions to Berbice cricket. Ambrose returned this Spring 2024 to coach in Berbice. This Porto-Bantu advocates the rise of Berbice cricket and Guyana cricket. He grew up hearing Berbice won one match and drew another with Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago. The old timers never mentioned Arthur John Richardson and  Demerara cricketer were in the Berbice teams in the late 1930s. 

Berbice batted well against England in the mid 1950s. The bowlers were mediocre. 

What are your thoughts on fast bowers in Berbice, and Guyana in 2024? 

Joseph, Smith, Thorne and Shepherd; plus Motie, Permaul,  and Sinclair can bowl out any first class team in the West Indies twice in matches in 2024. Berbice has Hetmyer and Anderson.  Berbice needs two top class batsmen and an outstanding wicket keeper to dominate West Indies championship.  

Loved the fact Thorne exposed Kraigg Brathwaite as the mediocrity he is in West Indies championship 2024.  This Porto-Bantu rates Holding’s performance against Fredericks, Kallicharran and Lloyd in 1975 at Bourda as the best exhibition of fast bowling he has ever witnessed. 

Desmond Haynes is delusional. His absurdities has no boundaries. No brain can consider Haynes is truthful in his statement he choose Hetmyer over Mayers.  This Porto-Bantu strongly doubts any resident of Fort St Andries - the current psychiatric institution in Guyana - accept that nonsense. Haynes is a liar. Haynes’ statement does not reflect the squads he has selected. Haynes is the perfect exhibit of the quagmire known as Cricket West Indies. 

Remembering Burlin Saheed

                                                                Remembering Burlin Saheed

Burlin Saheed’s great contribution to Berbice cricket was not his bowling, so as to speak, but the development he brought about in sports among the youths in the Port Mourant-Albion areas.

Saheed who died in Florida four years ago, a week or so before another Port Mourant icon Ivan Madray has certainly shaken up the cricket fraternity. We know that death is inevitable, but when it happens, we hardly want to accept it.. Madray rose from an ordinary leg-spinner to that of an extra-ordinary, and reached the pinnacle of his career when he made his debut against Pakistan in 1957 at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port-of-Spain.

Saheed on the other hand ruled the roost for a number of years at the local level, and brought much joy and delight to the thousands with his magnificent bowling. In 1974, Saheed was in the twilight of an illustrious bowling career when Williamburg-Kilcoy-Chesney District Council took a bold step by assigning the left-arm spinner as Cricket Coach and Sports Organizer for the area.

Aptly referred to as the “Little Magician”, Saheed still regarded as the most feared bowler in the Ancient County had responsibility for the general upliftment and development of all sports in that area. Saheed had to indulge himself to unearth hidden talents in the schools and youth clubs. That proved to be a blessing in disguise for the players in the area. It was the first time, a cricketer of such caliber was on spot to engage and encourage youngsters with potential.

The man who has secured the most wickets-72 in the 1974 concluded Davson Cup competition took with him a wealth of experience which put him in good stead in his new assignment. While at Port Mourant, Saheed was very much active, organization wise, especially in the table tennis section from which emerged a galaxy of young stars who did Berbice and Guyana proud. Prior to his departure to Albion, Saheed was instrumental in the formation of a racing cycle club which was progressing well. Saheed was showered with praises by a top official from Port Mourant who said “ his services would be greatly missed by all. Saheed gets much satisfaction out of it, even it means sacrificing his first love, cricket, which he does very often. He has served Port Mourant diligently and it is hoped he would achieved even greater success in the future. Port Mourant’s loss is obviously Williamburgh-Kilcoy-Chesney’s gain.

Mr. Mustapha Ali, chairman of the District Council whose brainchild it was to engage a Sports Organizer said his Council fully supports and sees the need for such a person for the promotion of sports in the area. “To match words with action, we have already voted the sum of $40,000.00 (common on guys, a lot of money then), which would be used in the course of the year for this purpose.

Touching on Burlin Saheed, Mr. Ali said that they have every confidence in the man whom they believe is capable of transforming the image of sports in the area and would like to wish him all the best in his new venture. ‘Saheed has the personality to command respect and is certain to get much out of his pupils with his technique and ability,’ he said

Burlin Saheed made only three first-class appearances, two for Berbice in the Jones Cup final (was given first-class status in 1971), and his returns did not do him justice. In 1966, the year of Guyana’s Independence, Burlin Saheed made his first-class debut for Guyana against Combined Leeward and Windward Islands at Warren Park, Basseterre. He was one of seven Berbicians-the highest number ever to represent the country-along with Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon, Roy Fredericks, Randolph Ramnarace and Sydney Jackman (wkt.).

Saheed was not required to do much bowling with the presence of left-arm spinner Rex Colleymore and Lance Gibbs who sent down 23 and 25 over respectively. Saheed bowled a mere four overs. However, he fared much better in the second innings taking three wickets for 44 runs in 20 overs of which 7 were maidens. Lance Gibbs once more proved his class by taking six wickets for 49 runs in 42 overs of which 20 were maidens.

What is interesting is that in addition to the seven Berbicians on the Guyana side, the remaining four comprised of players from Demerara, Vincent Mayers, Clive Lloyd, Rex Colleymore and Lance Gibbs.

Burlin Saheed was a great spinner of the ball, but generally bowled a good length and line. In addition to the number of wickets he took in the competition, Saheed will be best remembered as being the most feared bowler in the limited overs matches. Two such matches come to mind.

In the Bristol Cup final at Bourda in 1971, he bamboozled a strong Police Sports Club (PSC) batting line-up with tantalizing figures of 8-4-7-5. Such figures are unique in limited overs. It has never been surpassed then, and it is hardly likely to do so in the future. Police were routed out for a paltry 103 in reply to Port Mourant’s 167 with Randolph Ramnarace hitting a whirlwind 81. And while full credo must be give to Burlin Saheed for his memorable performance, we must not lost sight of the fact that it was that burly paceman Randolph Ramnarace who initiate the destruction. Ramnarace will be remembered for his fantastic performance when he spread-eagled Milton Pydanna’s wicket in the first ball of the opening over, which sent the Bourda crowd in uproar.

In the Rothman’s final a year later at Bourda, Port Mourant found themselves struggling at 66 for six before Burlin Saheed defied Police, this time with the bat. He and wicketkeeper Deo Mangal who held the record for the most dismissal in an innings- 8 in the Davson Cup, featured in a valuable seventh wicket partnership of 60 to once again give Port Mourant victory, thereby entrenching Port Mourant as the undisputed champion in domestic competition.

Saheed played his last match in the late ‘70s against Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) at Bourda in the Rothman’s final. Port Mourant won a nail-biting finish when Anan Sookram, a Junior Caribbean Table Tennis champion scored the winning run in the final ball. Port Mourant being the only club to hold the Rothmans Cup for keeps, by virtue of winning it on three consecutive times.

Heroes and Enemies of Africans

“It is important for us to learn who our friends are and who our enemies are and how to make the best use of both of them.” 

- John Henrik Clarke
Lawrence George Rowe was a magnificent timer at the crease.  Rowe was armed with a wide array of classical strokes. 

I am confident Frank Worrell is the primary influence on “Yagga” Rowe. It was said  Clyde Walcott and Everton Weekes tried desperately to beat the leather off the ball. Worrell was the touch batsman supreme. Worrell delighted in giving fielders the illusion of stopping the ball from crossing the boundary. Worrell  advocated tired legs cannot bat. Basil Butcher had an outrageous square drive. Rohan Kanhai and Alvin Kallicharran were top class touch batsmen. 

I recall “Yagga” Rowe played an extremely late cut in the March 1974, test match at Bourda, Georgetown, Guyana, Alan Knott was appealing, The ball crossed the boundary.  

Roy Fredericks and Rowe had a first wicket stand of 126.  Rowe’s domination of the partnership was most remarkable. Roy Fredericks scored 32 runs off 92 balls at scoring rate 34.78

Greg Chappell’s presentation Fierce Focus made glowing observations on West Indies cricketers. 1973 -1980. 

Rayfield `Pepe' Beaton, and I are cousins.  `Pepe' Beaton was competing in 800m.  James Wren-Gilkes was expected to win  200m in 1976 Olympics.

Fidel Castro told me to move the GDF squad some 400 yards from the plane. I was in the GDF March 30, 1974 – November 15, 1977. I am aware GDF were in Cuba, I heard GDF were in  Angola.  

“We must control the politics and the politicians of our community. They must no longer take orders from outside forces. We will organize and sweep out of office all Negro politicians who are puppets for the outside forces.” - Malcolm X

Harry Oppenheimer was the handler of Nelson Mandela. I am saying  Harry Oppenheimer and Nicky Oppenheimer of De Beers. Nelson Mandela  is an enemy of melanin dominant humans. Blaise Compaoré, Mobutu Sese Seko, Paul Kagame, Yoweri Museveni, Monrovia Group - William Tubman,  Félix Houphouët-Boigny. Léopold Sédar Senghor  are also major enemies of our people. 

Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side, not the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white. - Bob Marley

Bob Marley is no hero of mine. Bob Marley is a miscegenation. Miscegenation are often on the side of white oppressors. God is a concept. God is fantasy. There is no fence sitting in African cultural tradition.  

“The enemies of a people are those who keep them in ignorance.” - Thomas Sankara

Africans heroes during my life birthed home are;  Steve Biko, Amilcar Cabral, Cheikh Anta Diop, Olufela Anikulapo Kuti,  Patrice Lumumba, Samora Machel, Tom Mboya,  Kwame Nkrumah, Julius Nyerere, John Okello, Pio Gama Pinto, Thomas Sankara, Robert Sobukwe, Sekou Touré, Dedan Kimathi Waciuri, 

Africans heroes of recent vintage - Abdourahamane Tchiani, Ibrahim Traore,  Assimi Goïta, Arikana Chihombori-Quao, Julius Malema, Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba

I beg you to wake up. Don’t  be gullible.  Don’t offer your opinions.  Research and be educated to free our people under NATURE.

Once the enemy is defined, then the real war begins. Once the enemy is fully identified, there must be a commitment to defeating the enemy to the very end. Destroy the enemy or be destroyed by the enemy. No compromise, concession, or conciliation with the enemy. No way out. The masses of oppressed people should not yield one fraction of an inch to the advances of the enemy. “I have to step on the head of that snake every time it rises.” - Leonard Peltier

Seeking ancestors and relatives of Jacob Martin

 During the late 1950s  - April 1966 this researcher was aware of two enormously fat melanin dominant males were employed as cooks at the Colonial Hospital in New Amsterdam.

Fat James and another perhaps equally overweight male were a sight to behold mounted on their bicycles. Perhaps fat James resided at Pitt Street or Asylum or the street with Mission Chapel. It is tough to roll back the years accurately.

This researcher needs to understand whether he shares ancestral lineages with John Rollins, Fat James, the other cook and barber Austin. Love to link up with Holly Rollins. I last shared space and time with her  perhaps more than a decade ago on on New Lots Avenue in 11208.  How about Rozario, David Reddock and his sister Eunice who were resident at Alexander Street? 

This researcher needs to be enlightened.
