This is a great start to a wonderful and well needed service. Hopefully we will continue to see more and more records added for all our Islands. I have been using the site since I discovered it over a month ago. Anyone researching ancestors in the Parish of Trelawny in Jamaica, are in luck as it is the first ‘block of records’ to be put on line for Jamaica. The following records are up: The Trelawny Parish Civil Registration and Births, 1878 – 1930. Districts of: Albert Town, Bellevue, Bounty Hill, Bunker Hill, Clark’s Town, Deeside, Duncans, Falmouth, Hampden, Lowe River, Rio Bueno, Salt Marsh, Sawyer’s Market, Stewart Town, Ulster Spring, Wait-a-bit, Waldensia.

Dorothy Kew and myself did quite a bit of transcribing and I did some arbitration work on both Trelawny & Clarendon. Unfortunately I have not seen any records from the other West Indian islands and the transcribing of Jamaican records are now at a standstill. Hopefully the drought will soon be over.
