Is this a similar situation in the Caribbean?? The middle names of Stanley Beresford LYNCH and Miriam Arnester McLEAN appear to be a form of surname rather than a christian name. One of their children had Eustace as a middle name, another had McDonald as a middle name. Any opinions very welcome!

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.

Many times in research it has been helpful in discovering the mother's maiden name.? We have William Gibbs Spencer, Thomas Spencer Gibbs as well as William Selby Gibbs.? Also there was a period of time when the names of the famous entered families i.e. Benjamin Franklin Gibbs, George Washngton Gibbs, Alonzo Jefferson Gibbs.? The one that tripped everyone up was R.M.G.M. Gibbs.? It as not figured out until a will was witnessed by a high court official with the name R.M.G. Moore, then thru various other official records all the initials became reality for us.? They had to be creative as we have familes a large as 22 children. ?
