If your grandmother GGG-law was to the French master-slave married, it is possible that it got its name.
Slaves often had no family - if she has (by marriage emancipated or not - and in many areas of the slaves, the legal marriage between slaves and whites not allowed), a name for themselves and their families. When his master was a man, and slaves had the chance, are not by any other person, the name could be your own name or the name of their heritage. If the master was cruel, should the new freed slaves choose something else!
Most slaves had only one name - and sometimes even a name, sometimes a fancy name on the whims of the owner.
So it may be difficult to find the names of their ancestors, over a certain point. However, I know that historians and genealogists working on this problem in the W. Indies have, as elsewhere, and if you contact the authorities in St. Lucia in the situation, you could go in the right direction.
Good luck!
