I am new to the forum. I found my ancestor was a ship captain involved in the "West Indies trade." I am curious whether he was a slave trader. This was late 17th early 18th century. Does anyone know of any reference materials identifying known slave traders and/or slave trading vessels, or other reference materials that might help me in my inquiry?
