-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Penny Kilbane I did put together something similar to a FAQs for the list about 5 years ago, but folks didn't seem interested at the time. I also have a Word document with lots of Caribbean specific URLs that I've collected from this list over the years. I'd be happy to share with whoever is pulling this together. I could start a page on Historic Antigua and Barbuda to post the material until we can work out posting it on the Carib-Gen site If any submissions could be submitted in Times New Roman / MS Word to me that would be helpful. Since I am near famous for not having as much time as I am wont to volunteer, once the page is set up it will be quite simple to paste each island in as the submissions are made. It would also be helpful to work the islands in their customary groupings ie "Antigua and Barbuda" under Leeward Islands. I personally am nearly ignorant of resources for Montserrat St Eustasius etc so anyone who has a good working knowledge of these island resources would be welcome.This too for the Virgins, Trinidad and Tobago St Lucia etc Truth is there are a lot of guides, but not in one place one url. Anything but a basic site would become a lot of work because the individual histories of the islands play such a part in what is available and what is not. (or why you must look somewhere else to find it) But if the list thinks a unified site as a simple intro would be helpful I'm willing to coordinate it or assist another volunteer by hosting the info on the Hist A+B site till better arrangements could be made.

Strange, as a result of this thread I did a brief scan of all the Carib Gen sites and realized how few of us (me included) ever produced simple lists of the primary sources! Got some great graphics though! Now Jamaica sources are exhaustively covered by Madeleine Mitchel’s Jamaica Gen site. Also Jamaica Family Search. Jim Lynch’s pages provide a lot on a variety of islands, plus publishing some hard to get data on Antigua Tyrrel had done quite abit on St Kitts….. Assuming this is kind of “first contact” stuff, what form would be most effective? If the briefs are prepared by each volunteer they might all be posted on the CaribGenWeb Mother site so that one url could be provided to someone when they pop up….. This could be the island specific guide to starting your Gen search in the Carib….. Deeper guidance could be provided by referral to works on the topic, and the experience of the Listers. Ideas????

Elder and Ernest, Could there be new pages with a standardised format added to Caribbean GenWeb - complete with gaps - and then letters to this List or direct to the volunteer could provide more data? Have you heard Colin Jackson (Welsh-born athlete of Jamaican parents) talking of standing on the very spot of his ancestor's first piece of his very own Jamaican land? but Colin first had to find his own line of descent. We need to have it Shown to us how to do that when so much is well- known but not obvious to the newcomer. THEN we can look at the pretty online pictures (or visit) and be sentimental. First we need to find how and where we individually fit in. You can listen to Colin here: <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/podcast/colin-jackson.mp3> This might also be of interest to Listers though it leads away from the Caribbean to Roanoke: The Road to Jamestown - part 1 Sean Cunningham talks about how and why English sailors and the English crown turned their attention to the New World of America in the sixteenth century.

Hi Laura Hi Summit Prior to the establishment of a registrars system in the mid 1800's Barbados Antigua, St. Kitts etc relied on records kept by the parish churches. The specifics of what survives, how thorough or not they were and what secondary sources you may assume present the full record for such and such a parish at a particular time are just some of the challenges we face doing gen work on people in these islands in the early years. Furthermore with some exceptions, the records are not about birth but about baptism, so one must check the predominant Anglican records plus any "dissenter" records or synagogue records or.... Prior to emancipation the purpose was to document white baptisms, marriages and deaths although there are exceptions and from the 1780's there was a growing movement to baptise and record slaves and people of colour. This was part of what is now called the "amelioration" period and in places like Jamaica the C of E churchmen began "ministering" to slaves on plantations where owners were favorable to it. But do not confuse it active ministrations like those of the later work Baptists, Adventists, (later) Quakers etc. The work done was strictly in line with encouraging compliance with plantation life and bondage. 'Saving souls as it was perceived at the time.... This was real rudimentary stuff. For instance the Portland Parish records have long lists of baptisms obviously done in large groups beginning about 1800. Prior to this you may see records of individuals born of a planter and a slave mother etc but these are "rare" in comparison with the large numbers of people living and dying at the time. In my research on the eastern parishes of Jamaica there are quite a few examples recorded in ceremonies taking place AT a particular plantation rather than IN a parish church and in these cases evidently by request of the parties "sponsoring" the child or couple, the ceremony was made official and recorded as such. This likely reflects the planter family's convictions more than a general policy. Plantation ledgers and related documents often do record births and other events but are rarely preserved and rarely complete. ****** However by 1730 Barbados is pretty well organized. There is reasonably good survival of most parish records from that time. Specifics are available on World Gen Barbados Site, Most of these records are available in a work done by Joanne McCree Sanders or from the microfilms kept by the Church of Latter Day Saints. Some of the Bajans on the list can steer you to the specifics. The only pertinent documents are the parish records. No certificate as we know it was issued. In the period prior to 1680 the keeping of records of any sort was pretty slapdash and prone to loss. About 1680-90 the requirement that parishes pass on their records to colonial authorities began to be seriously encouraged or....actually done. Even so we are missing a lot. St, Mary's parish Antigua, which is one of the oldest had a nearly parish record until a hurricane blew away the church and damaged substantial portions of the vestry book. And so it goes. Perhaps some of the listers with better retention than I can point you in the right direction to some informative web-sites on this topic.

Dear Listers, Caribbean Gen Web.com a page for most of the islands with basic information, Rootsweb.com has a query site for most of the islands. The Family History Libraries, have copied the available information that was available at the time and that information is on microfilm. Several years ago, I prepared a list of that information that is held by the FHL/LDS, it list every island that there is available info. by Microfilm #, Parish records, church records, chauncy records, all of the holdings for the Caribbean islands, and it is posted on Jim Lynch's site Candoo.com. You can get the microfilm # then order the film from a library near you in the US.I don't know about Canada. It has been said that the FHL/LDS will one day have it on line.
