Greetings to everyone on the list and best wishes for 2010. My New Year's Resolution (yes I know, good intentions...) but I do plan to scan a number of my old colour slides of Barbados which may be of interest to others and which I will be happy to share. They will mainly be of churches & graveyards! 1. Holy Innocents, in St. Thomas, at the time when my father was Rector there. 2. St. Mary's Church in Bridgetown (our Tudor family church; Daddy was also priest there. 3. St. Peter's Parish Church (lots of Kellman & Connell tombstones,some hard to read). 4. Possibly a few of St. Catherine's Church in St. Philip. 5. Perhaps a few other miscellaneous scenic views & landmarks such as Ragged Point Lighthouse (my great great grandfather was the first lighthouse keeper). When I do get it all done I will post a list of the items on the board, and anyone wishing to have digital copies will have to contact me off list and I will email the items to you, my only request being that you respect the copyright and not use them for any commercial purposes. Now don't hold your breath anyone! As they say in Jamaica, "soon come", which could be five minutes or five months! Happy New Year! Ernest Wiltshire

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 ? Similar to the one Grenadagirl website? Yvonne aka Cuzin'Choli -----Original Message----- From: caribbean-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:caribbean-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ernest M.
