a1107: Names of French who survived Dessaline's massacre (fwd)




From: amedard@gte.net

The following is a quote from Bob's website,
<http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/haiti/history/earlyhaiti/postrev.htm>

     "Dessalines first decided to get rid of the French who were in Haiti. Early
     in 1804, his first year of rule, he had the French killed, sparing only a
     few doctors, priests and essential exporters. It is generally thought that
     around 20,000 French were slaughtered . . ."

Might there be a list somewhere of those French who were spared?  Also, might there
be a list of those French who sided and fought along with the Haitians?
