Theres lots of dominicans that are of haitian decent in san cristobal and bani. What are you talking about. They literally have names like lasouse, corporan, sussane, lachappel, george, lapaix, michel ect. You wouldn't be able to tell em apart. And these names get lost after time in families also because females dont pass on family names unless the child is illegitimate. Most of their ancestry isnt haitian necessarily but they definitely have haitian ancestry because alot of the mullato /quadroon and some white french haitians escpaped to DR and stayed there. The mullato class haitians were had some privilege during haitian colonial era but most blacks in haiti were slaves.
Im actually looking into haitian geneology because i have a haitian ancestor that escaped to DR and fled to san christobal. His grandfather was a french lieutenant in haiti portu au prince before arriving in san Cristóbal.
Im starting to investigate haiti and i see from time to time many dominican french surnames in haitian records. Investigating my dominicans of my ancestors paternal surname is making me feel like theres llink between new mexico and haiti. Because i found a record of one saying that they couldnt provide memory to a court. And it said something about superior of the french government and bienes de nueva espana. So it sounded like property or assets from new spain were involved or they came from mexico. Its not super clear to me. Specifically im speculating a link between areas around merida mexico and yucatan. Those places had africans and afro mexicans in mexico. Although blacks in mexico usually weren't slaves after mixing because the rights of indians let them inherit rights through their native parents side.
This was a record about inheritance of property it seemed of a dead person. Some relatives looked like they were trying to claim.
