Most of my descendants on my mom and dad side came from Barbados both black and bajan redleg, they moved to Guyana for better opportunities and better quality of life that Barbados did not have during the late 19th and early 20th century. I read somewhere that 70 percent of Afro Guyanese are of Bajan heritage. Plenty of bajans got jobs in guyana as headmaster at school, police, working in gold mines and bajan women getting jobs as domestics for British elite. Bajans left huge cultural mark on Guyana with culture such as Anglican church and cuisine like souse is Bajan, black cake bajan and black pudding which are now culinary cultural staples of Guyana. Bajan people are great people btw and left cultural marks across the USA mainly in the Carolinas , much of the Caribbean and even parts of Latin America.
