    1. [Carib] Zoomable Maps of Jamaica
    2. Madeleine E Mitchell
    3. Hi List, I am putting up some new parish maps of Jamaica taken from a 1888/1905/1927 map on the World Gen Web Jamaica site. They show quite a bit of detail about estates and places in Jamaica. The map was worn in places after heavy use by my Dad and Granddad for Work, but was restored by a map conservator in England. The map was photographed by my brother-in-law Keith Crook and sent to me as .jpg files. I have made them Zoomable so that you can see the detail in these rather large files. The Zoomify technique requires Adobe Flash Content (the latest Flash add-on from Adobe is 10.0.45) Internet Explorer-32 bit browser may warn you about Active-Content. It has been tested in Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Internet Explorer 32 bit, and Safari. Please let me know if you have problems viewing the maps, since I cannot anticipate all the configurations you might have for your computers. Oh yes, the URL for the Maps is:Jamaica 1927 Maps <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ejamwgw/jammaps.htm> (For the entrance to the WorldGen Web site see below in my signature). Please note: as of today, I have only put up the Western parishes so far in the County of Cornwall. I will put up the rest gradually as time allows.
