Hi Rita, Thank you so much for your offer of help. To get hold of Desmond Douglas' birth certificate from St Vincent would be amazing! I guess I am more interested in finding members of his family back in St Vincent (even though I know he had a sister who was living in London around the 1960's. Saying that, I'm not ruling out finding other members of his family who also moved to the UK. I have had a couple of messages through Friends Reunited who say they remember working with Desmond at the Ever Ready battery factory in Dagenham, but they have no further information. I have also had some correspondence through Genes Reunited with members who have listed members of the DOUGLAS family in St Vincent in their family trees. These couple of people are helping me to search for anyone who may be related to Desmond or know of him but so far there has been nothing concrete. I don't even know whether Desmond is still here in the UK or has gone back home to St Vincent. Please do keep in touch and if you or anyone else knows anything about DESMOND DOUGLAS or his family, please let me know. Thank you, again.

Thanks Ann. I appreciate the info. Actually, it is through the message board that Maria and I first found each other. We are well acquainted now.

Season's Greetings, Listbuds, I know I am a few days early for the January 2008nRoll Call, but I have time between Christmas and New Year's to do some research so thought I would ask. Anyone have information or leads on the ancestry of the following families in Barbados? A. Henry Downes and wife, Anne Tempro (I don't have their years, but they are the parents of my gggrandmother Elizabeth Downes (1831-1913) of New Castle, St. John, Barbados B. Henry Taitt (born around 1800) and wife Clarista Downes (they are parents of my gggrandfather Thomas Henry Taitt (1829-1914) of Foster Hall, St. Joseph, Barbados. THTaitt married EDownes. C. Quaco Braithwaite (witness to my ggparents' marriage, William Thomas Hunt and Mary Elvira Manning, nee Callendar, both 29 years old in 1867) wedding in St. Luke's in St Joseph, Barbados. D. Quamin Brathwaite and Elizabeth____, parents of Anna Maria Brathwaite, born 1849 in St. Phillips, Barbados. Were these two men related, the first born on a Wednesday, and the other born on a Saturday according to their names? E. John Gregory Hunt and wife Sarah Anne, married 1837, parents of my ggrandfather, William Thomas Hunte, born 1838 (JGHunt named as parent on WTHunte's marr. cert.). One witness was a Joseph Edward Small, possibly????some relationship to Sarah Anne???? F. James Edward Callendar and Georgiana Worrell, marr Feb. 8, 1838, parents of my ggrandmother, Mary Elvira Callendar. One witness was John Lewis Worrell, possibly????a relation to Georgianna??? G. Thomas Ottley, father of Joseph Ethelbert Ottley (born in Tobago in 1871, died in Trinidad in 1824). Thomas could have been born anytime bet 1811-1855. My dad's cousin, when she was alive and an old woman, (born 1907) remembered him when she was a school child around 10 as a "very old man". She used to get books from the library weekly and read them to him. He could have been born in Saint Vincent or Barbuda or Grenada or in Tobago itself, we just don't know. I have found 3 Thomases, but 2 I have not been able to connect to Tobago or to Joseph. 1. Thomas Alexander Ottley born 28 Jan 1848 in Saint Vincent, son of Thomas Ottley (1812-1851) and Eliza "Peggy" Mackie (born ca. 1818) 2. Thomas Gary Ottley born in Barbuda in the 1840s and migrated to Tobago as a teenager, married to an O'Keefe from Tobago. 3. Thomas Alexander Ottley born 26 October 1853 in Saint Vincent, son of George and Elizabeth (domestics) Thanks, Nevilla E. Ottley in Maryland USA

Thank you Cod, Your CaribGenWeb offer snapped up - all I have to do is the hard yards, will advise. Oliver copyright. Yes, that was it, I am concerned for Jim Lynch's feelings but I was thinking only of transcriptions (with caveats as to my accuracy of transcription). Pipe-dream What I would love to see is a kind of CaribWiki, or LeewardWiki (LwWiki?) onto which any interested party after registering etc might put up their knowledge of people and their family relationships, born before say, 1800. After 1800 could have its own section / site. No-one might knock about what another has put up but they may easily Link to others' pages notes and opinions to express their own opinions or where they believed their own people tied in to others' families. Yes, it would need a Fierce owner / controller / editor Does anyone have a lot of empty storage and a very good connection? Here's a (just one-man) site about a particular area (it is Enormous and added to pretty-much daily) http://www.wirksworth.org.uk/frontpag.htm This is just another boring old transcription site (joke) http://www.forest-of-dean.net/ This (again one-man) site has now gone 100% commercial http://www.stirnet.com cheers David On Dec 14, 2007, at 12:34 PM, C.M.

Greetings Saint-Domingue/French West Indies researchers, Did you all know that the top three publications of the genius-statesman, Louis Médéric Élie Moreau de St.-Méry (1750-1819) are now online thanks to the Bibliothèque Nationale website, <Gallica>?? They can even be downloaded or printed out (make sure you have a couple of boxes of paper and some spare ink cartridges !!) If these quick links below don't work, just go to the Gallica main page and click on RECHERCHES, then plug in Moreau de St-Méry and they will all come up. And while you're on Gallica, do explore it for other works that have been digitized. There's a LOT there! Description.... de la partie espagnole de l'Isle Saint-Domingue http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k111191g and http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k111192v Description.... de la partie française de l'Isle Saint-Domingue http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k111179t and http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k111180r Loix et Constitutions des colonies Françoises de l'Amérique sous le vent (1550-1785) Vol 1 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k86107r.pagination Vol 2 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1099505 Vol 3 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k109951j Vol 4 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k109952x Vol 5 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1099539 (the first 10 images seem to be from Volume 2, but after that, it's all Volume 5) Vol 6 http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k109954p Not only is Loix & Constitutions a digest of all laws, ordonnances, edicts, etc. passed concerning all of the French West Indies (not just Saint-Domingue), but it's also full of interesting little vignettes of la vie quotidienne coloniale over the centuries. Like how Louis XIV helped priest's wife and children :-); regulations governing the production of a processed meat called "tasseau" (and we here in LA thought WE had the 'copyright' on tasso! -- it was being made in the West Indies in the early 1700s !); the colonial "Second Amendment"; laws which show that the French government was "green" even back in the 1700s (colonists were forbidden from tying their dogs to trees, because it might weaken the tree and kill it - how GREEN can you get !!??); laws governing abandoned children and runaway slaves, etc. etc.. It's a delightful feast of information about the French colonies. And better yet - each volume has a chronology at the end consisting of a short synopsis of each entry in the book. And THEN after that, there's also a subject and name index. I jokingly tell people that if this publication were the size of Readers' Digest, I'd have a copy to read in my each of my bathrooms ! :-) Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad !

Does anyone have access to a census in Saint Michael, Barbados between 1886 and 1900 that would list the family of Richard Adolphus Deane? I am attempting to get more accurate birthdates for his children: Head: Richard Adolphus Deane (1848-1904) Spouse: Emily Josephine Porter (1853-1909) Children: Carmen Daisy Elizabeth Deane (1881-1954) married George Alleyne Dash in 1898 before immigrating to Philadelphia, PA, USA in 1900 Milton Farrel Hartle Deane (BET 1880 AND 1883-1968) Immigrated in 1901 Richard Adolphus Deane (1883-1966) Immigrated in 1902 Harold Cyril Deane (1886-1949) Immigrated in 1906 Thanks, Erik

Thank you to all who responded to my query re: Francois Marchesseau in Haiti. I beleive, Augusta that we have corresponded before. I did find someone who was related to Francois and referred her to my cousin who is doing most of the Marchesseau genealogy. He contacted Rafaelle Roy, a descendant of Marie-Claire Marchesseau, who lives in Montreal, Que. Sorry about the error of the death of Marie-Claire. She died in Aug. 1762 in Verette, Haiti. God Bless, Jeannette

I just came across this amusing little item in "The Barbadian Newspaper" of 1856 and it might be of interest to Jamaicans: "October 11 1856. Married. On 12 Sep. at the English Embassy, Paris, by Rev. Dr. Hall, and afterwards at the Portuguese Embassy in the presence of the Portuguese Ambassador and the Baroness de Piava, the duke of Saldana, Field Marshal, Commander-in-Chief of the Portuguese Army, Lord of the Black Rod of His Faithful Majesty, Counsellor of State, a Peer of the Realm and Knight of the Golden Fleece, to Caroline Binns, relict of E. Binns Esq. of Ware Park, Jamaica." [E. Binns Esq. is most likely Edward Binns, born 23 Jan 1804 in Hanover, Jamaica, the son of James Keitly Binns & Sarah Houghton Leigh his wife, (married 1 Sep 1801, in Hanover, Jamaica). The Duke of Saldana appears to be Juan Carlos Francisco, (1791-1876), made a knight of the Golden Fleece in 1856. But who was his Jamaican Duchess, Caroline???] EW Ernest M.

Hi Cod, Thanks for the nice letter That's kind of you but I will get around to HoA on microfilm, Why is scanning such an infernally slow process? It is just a photo- copier isn't it. Isn't it? Both those families were, in their day, so prominent and well-known I just assumed that in the century since Oliver was writing a great deal more hard data would have accumulated about them . For example a few years ago Vince Summers was gathering up so much about Fitzgeralds (including the note that Henrietta Martin wife of Col J A Fitzgerald later became Mrs Irish). Vince has de- concatenated and lost his interest in Fitzgeralds but the Irish mention still makes me curious. Was it Oliver who published this excerpt from the will of Francis Willoughby 1605-1666: "to Jane, wife of William Irish, clerk, for her faithful care in the government of testator's family, 20,000lbs sugar and £20 per annum for life; also legacies or annouities to his servants . . ," but turned the fine Dorset family name of Irish into FRITH! As I search through the Calendar of State Papers it is easy enough to copy and paste things like the lists of members of Councils including those doddery and or delinquent. If I tidied this data up and presented it nicely 1. is it something others might want to know? 2. is there somewhere it can go up and remain permanently available on the Net? Last of all, if I copy info from Oliver (from microfilm) and put it up on the internet, could I run into copyright problems? thanks and regards David On Dec 14, 2007, at 2:06 AM, C.M.

Dear Evan, Have you checked Rootsweb caribbean messge board for Antigua? I was browsing and found a posting for your John Smith posted in 2002 from a Maria Walcott, the information is the same as yours, but she may have found additional info since then. If you need a link, let me know Ann"Sharing the information."Researching the USVI, St.Eustatius, St. Barths, Barbados

Thank you Phillip. The LDS have begun their Christmas break without sending off the films I ordered. I should receive the two Caribbeana films in mid January, next on the list will be History of Antigua. I did get that film maybe five years ago but became exasperated. I'm a little better prepared now. thanks, David On Dec 14, 2007, at 12:43 AM, Phillip Abbott - Abbott Farms wrote: > David , > Do you have access to "History of Antigua" by V.L. Oliver ? > Phillip >

Hi, Jeanette, What an interesting time for your ancestor to be in SAINT DOMINGUE !! (It did not become Haiti until 1804, although I think the term "Haiti" is presently used in reference to the French colony - 1697-1804 - because it is easier to identify it with a present-day country). Petit-Goave was founded in 1663, and the boucaniers/buccaneers, pirates, freebooters, etc. were there as early as 1659. After a rocky start during which it was burned by the French, the Dutch, and the Spanish, in 1690, the town received some settlers from the French colony of Saint-Christophe. Its port apparently served as the launching forth place for several forays into Jamaica and the Latin American mainland. The first church was built there some time before 1670. In 1692, the population of the parish was 225 whites. Unfortunately, the church registers do not start until 1763 and stop in 1794. The town suffered many floods, several hurricanes and earthquakes over the years, and perhaps the pre-1763 registers were lost during one of these natural disasters. Or, more likely, they were destroyed during the slave uprisings which became the Haitian Revolution. Although, by the Ordonnance du Roi of 1776, copies were supposed to be made of all pre-1777 church registers and sent to Versailles, the official responsible for this for Petit Goave did not go back past 1763. (The above info gleaned from a brief reading and a "quick and dirty" translation of the section on Petit-Goave from Moreau de St-Méry's <Description de la Partie Française... de l'Isle Saint-Domingue> ) The lack of registers for Petit-Goave makes your search more difficult. The good news is that the registers for les Verrettes start in 1715 and run through 1788. The LDS has microfilmed the registers AND the indices, so you don't need to go to France to search through them... too bad :-( . The indices for les Verrettes AND Petit-Goave are both on LDS film 1094163. I suggest you rent it and look for your ancestors in the indices for both towns. (You should be able to find the 1720 baptism and the 1762 death in the Les Verrettes indices). If you find your ancestors, then look up the number of the film that contains the images of the original registers and order it from the LDS. The LDS staff can help you find these numbers if you are not familiar with the procedure. I also encourage you to subscribe to the GHC Liste. Since it is sponsored by the U. de Picardie, you have to go to this link: http://listes.u-picardie.fr/wws/info/ghcaraibe?checked_cas=1 You may get a message that there is a problem with the site's security certificate, but just select the second (not recommended) option -- open the website. It is safe. I have never had any problems using it. Click on the word Abonnement half way down the left frame/side. They will ask you for some basic information - e-dress, name, etc. If anyone knows anything about Petit-Goave and/or the names you are researching, it will be one (or more) of the 493 subscribers of this List. They are good, they are sharp, many of them are professionals (professionals, historians, authors, lawyers) and they are all willing to help. Some of them are also "lurkers" on this list and the H-Caribbean list too. Although the language of the GHC Liste is French, many of the Listers understand English and Spanish (even German!) Make sure you give as much information as possible. Do you know what your ancestors were doing there so early? Military? Engagés? Transplants from St.-Christophe? I assume you got this information from Peter Frisch, or from the GHC Bulletin (pg. 2542) to which he responded. (The date of death is 8/1762). The GHC website is another good place to visit: all of the GHC Bulletins through 1996 are online, as well as a cumulative index and a table of articles. You won't regret the time you spend on this website. The URL is: http://www.GHCaraibe.org I also invite you to visit my website where you will find some hints for doing research on Saint Domingue with sources available in the U.S. or online: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~saintdomingue/ I do not think the ship lists would be of much help now, because you must know the city from which your ancestors sailed, and the date of departure, and the name of the ship. A couple of the Archives Departementales have indices -- Nantes (has an index card file) and Bordeaux (online - a joint effort with Brigham Young University - Google search -- Immigration). You might find some information in the Séries E personnel dossiers, but that would mean a trip to France. :-) I believe they are in Aix-en-Provence and on microfilm in Paris. Hope this is of some help. Please feel free to contact me privately if you have any questions. Anyone else, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

HI there, I wonder if you thought of checking the records of ships sailing from Bordeaux in France to Haiti for that period. I spent some time in New Orleans and on a tour of the plantations, learned that families in France would send their children out to Haiti (and later to Louisiana ) to live on their plantations and to carry out military service. These same families moved to Louisiana after the revolution in Haiti in 1790's. There may be some lace to check the records on line from France. By the way I think that the date given for the death of Marie Claire might be a mistake?? Good luck, Joan Joan T.Seymour, Consultant [email protected] wrote: > Hi Listers.

Hello Jeanette, I'm not sure if there are many people on this list who might be able to help with Haiti, except for Augusta Elmwood in New Orleans; I hope she is still on the list. There may be others though. Howver there is a French Caribbean list (ghcaraibe) [Augusta is on it too!] and many of the subscribers are amazingly knowledgeable about French Caribbean & French records. I would tell you now how to subscribe if only I could remember the proper details! Anyone else have the subscription info for that French List? It might be this: '[email protected]' Ernest M.

David I would be willing to host the efforts re Calendar of St Papers Col WI since much of what you have been working on pertains to the Leewards. Could put it on the revamped Historic Antigua and Barbuda site which is on CaribGenWeb..... http://www.rootsweb.com/~atgwgw/ Since I am currently rebuilding it I could set up a special section. I have things for it as well. Re Copyright on Olivers, the man to speak to is James C Lynch host of CarSurDex as he had to check the copyright issues prior to printing the Restoration edition he did several years ago. http://www.candoo.com/surnames/index.php But if these are extracts, you are fine so long as they are cited correctly Whole page scans would be pushing it. RE scanning.....my scanner is pretty quick but Oliver's is twice the size of a normal page. Laying in bed reading it is like having an 11 year old boy on your stomach (it doesn't kick thank god) I mean they are hefty little tomes dem Olivahs Anyway let me know if you would be interested in the web-site deal Cod -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.

Hi Listers, Do we have on the List any expert or just knowledgeable-person about the ramifications of these two families in the 17th century Caribbean? WILLOUGHBY and WINTHROP off-list if you prefer. Thanking you in anticipation etc!
