Metive is a term for a person of mixed race, with one Caucasian/white parent and one parent of a darker race, often a native of that place.

Thank you for your inquiry. Batch in question: [M3NJ-VVT], at Birth Record for Marie Jeanne Thetis, on the fourth line from the top, where we read: Heresine Thetis metive libre. (I have seen, in other batches, the words: nestive libre or nestif libre.) Merci d'avance, Aine.

Thank you! May I ask another question, the word "pannaquine or pannaquine" was seen in birth record from Ile Martinique, 1778. I searched a meaning but so far have not found a meaning. Can you help with this question?

I'm sorry, that one doesn't ring a bell with me. It may be a phonetic spelling for something, and I'm not making a connection.
