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
