I am searching or any mention of the above names..I know that Alexander Magruder was in Barbados in 1650-52, then moved on to Maryland.. Woodroofs show up in Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee but I cannot connect any of them farther bck thn 1800 but believe a common ancestor may have spent time somewhere in the Carribean.. Ferdinand is a name that shows up repeatedly as a middle name in the family ad I am searching for it's origin..

I wrote about a week ago about some Danish West Indies records available at http://www.footnote.com/ Right now, I’m going through a group of records titled: “St. Thomas Commission for the Registration of the Free Blacks: Register of Free Black Children, 1831–32.” This record is a census of the Free Blacks and contains name, age, religion, place of birth so it is useful information in a population that is sometimes not well represented in the usual records. Some of the downsides of these records are that they are in Danish, there is no index, and some people in the records don't have a last name. If you think you may have ancestors in this records, send me the pertinent information and I’ll see what I can find while going through these records. Dante

Thank you Ernest, I have a copy here. Hope you are well and had a good Holiday same for all on the list. cheers Cod

Thank you very much for that Laura: I was able to download the PDF file and print out the appendices on the Antiguan families, which is very useful. Cod, you might want to check pages 334-336 (I think) which is on the Codringtons, in case you haven't seen that before.

For those doing genealogy research in Antigua, I came across a Google book, fully viewable, "Antigua and the Antiguans: a full account of the colony and its inhabitants," printed in 1844. The genealogy is in the Appendix and includes the surnames WARNER, WINTHORPE, BYAM, WILLIAMS, CODRINGTON, MATHEW, MACKINNON, THOMAS, CARLISLE, LAVINGTON, FITZROY, WILLOUGHBY, MARTIN, and FREEMAN. There's also the 1710 will of Governor PARKE. Besides the genealogy, there are numerous chapters dealing with slavery.

Came across this. Thought someone might want to cross-post this with a New Zealand or London list. Sometimes it is very hard to trace names when the surname is changed. Sometimes, also, when warriors are young, they take brides, so possibly there could be a marriage in DWI. From "The Annual register or a view of the history and politics of the year 1851. London, p. 249, viewed on Google Books (American version). Deaths, 1851: "Major-Gen. George Dean Pitt, K.H., commanding the troops in New Zealand. He entered the Royal African corps as George Dean in 1805. In 1807 he served in the West Indies, and was present at the capture of the Danish islands in that year. He served at the capture of Martinique in 1809. From 1811 to 1814, he served in the Peninsular war, and was present at Albuera, in the actions at Usarge and Almarez, the siege of Badajoz, the battles of Vittoria, Pampeluna, and the Pyrenees, for which he had received the war medal and four clasps. In 1836 he was nominated a Knight of Hanover, in 1837 he became Colonel in the army and Inspecting Field Officer of the Leeds Recruiting District, and in January, 1840, removed to London as Superintendent of the Recruiting Department, which office he held until his promotion to Major-Gen, November 9, 1846. In January the following he was appointed to the command of the troops in New Zealand. He took the additional name of Pitt in 1819. Happy hunting, all, Laura

I believe I have an interest also in records kept by the Spanish in Cuba. I have found my ancestors (origins: Antigua/St. Croix) got a passport in 1865 from NY to travel to Cuba. There is family lore that mentions Isle of Pines, which also is in Cuba. Anyone know of church/ land/tax records from the 1860s in Cuba?

Seeking information on James Nix, born Oct 20, 1642 in Barbados, son of John Nix.  James had a brother Richard born in Barbados 1637.  James may have died after the birth of James, and his wife Elizabeth took the boys to Virginia, USA.  Does anyone know this family or where I can find any records on their stay in Barbados?  Thanks.  Deborah

Happy New Year All, I haven't prepared my end of the year email yet.. too much going on. If possible I would appreciate any Research contact info for Barbados. Here is the STORY: 1. My GGF (Samuel Herbert Pollard)- may have been a Jr., was a born in Barbados Possibly 1860 through 1863. He had a 1/2 sister, Elizabeth Pollard-Welch, married name Welch (who died in Barbados, 1964 or 1965). Samuel's Father and Elizabeth's mother (name unknown) had 4- 6 children. They were legally married. Samuel was I believe the oldest-possibly a jr and an outside child of Pollard. He died in St Lucia.... 1912ish. Buried in Choc Cemetery, St. Lucia. Wondering also if Samuel Pollard he was born in England. Why this twist? Well my Aunt Olive just said that we cannot find any information on his mother. Now if a child of a West-Indian parentage was born in England, the child would have the father's (westindian information) and not be issued an English BC. 2.Do you have online photos of the cemeteries ?

Hi Josianne, Thanks for your suggestion. Cathy

I just wanted to let you know I’ve been looking at records available for the former Danish West Indies (now the U.S. Virgin Islands) that are available on Footnote. http://www.footnote.com/ Specifically, a group of microfilm records from the U.S. National Archives (NARA) are available at this site: M1883 Selected Records of the Danish West Indies, 1672-1917: Essential Records Concerning Slavery and Emancipation. You can access a pdf with a description of these records at www.footnote.com/pdf/M1883.pdf The downsides of these records is the cost (membership for the website) and there is no index for the records dealing with the Danish West Indies. It is a painstaking search through the digitized records and is slower than using microfilm. I’ll post what records I’m going through so listers can put in their requests of names I should look out for. Happy New Year to all! Dante

Dante, What a lovely offer, Thank You in advance. If you come accross Caroline Quetel nee Benjamin and her husband Isidore Quetel, think of me, Ann "Sharing the information."
