Most of my family on my Father's Maternal side were from Barbados, British Guiana and Bermuda. They were all white (as far as I know) and they had been their for a number of generations. In the Brewers Dictionary of names, the definition of Creole is someone who is a descendant of european settlers in the West Indies or Spanish America. Would I be considered part Creole? Thanks!

I'm not sure,but I thought people in a country like Haiti are creole.Or maybe they just speak creole.--I would say you're British or English.I hope you get a better answer than mine though.
you should ask a member from your family...i think they should know you`r family roots better than us.
Lol thanks anyways guys and no I am the one in my family who knows about our family history, i found out most of it. Thought i would ask here just incase one of you was creole and knew who can be considered creole xxx
I am part creole... I dunno if you are.- but that doesn't sound like it "the word "Creole" usually refers to people of any race or mixture thereof who are descended from settlers in colonial French Louisiana before it became part of the United States in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase. Some writers from other parts of the country have mistakenly assumed the term to refer only to people of mixed racial descent, but this is not the traditional Louisiana usage. It is now accepted that Creoles form a broad cultural group of people of all races who share a French or Spanish background. Louisianans who identify themselves as "Creole" are most commonly from historically Francophone communities with some ancestors who came to Louisiana either directly from France or via the French colonies in the Caribbean. (Those descended from the Acadians of French Canada usually identify as Cajuns, rather than Creoles.) The term is also often used to mean simply "pertaining to New Orleans". Louisiana's Creole People (Creoles of Color) are of mixed (mainly) French, Spanish, African-American, and Native American heritage[1]"
