I truly appreciate your help, and that you study hard to help people, but what you said about the term "Black Dutch" were Germans with darker complexion;
Germans and Dutch (Hollanders) are very similar, but are of two differnet races, correct?
Like how the Chinese and Japanese people are similar, but are two totally different people.

I was told that Black Dutch, or Blue-Belly Dutch, were dutch people.
Their village got caught on fire and the ones who escaped were smothered with ashes and they appeared to be Black.

Please don't feel like I'm putting you down, I would love to get the accurate information if you have it and would really appreciate it alot! :D
Sincerely :)
