    1. [Carib] The Surman Index online
    2. Dorothy Kew
    3. Hi folks: I recently came across an interesting onlne source, the Surman Index. Here is a description of it: The Surman Index includes the names, dates, education and employment information for about 32,000 Congregational ministers. It covers the period from the mid-seventeenth century to 1972, and though it focuses on England and Wales, it includes Congregational ministers serving abroad provided they trained or served as ministers in Britain. Further information and access to the index is at http://surman.english.qmul.ac.uk You can do a search by country. I searched "Jamaica" and got a number of hits on various locations there. Once you click on a location it gives you the names of the various ministers who served in that area and you can find out a bit more about them. It's an interesting source in case you have come across a Congregational minister you want to follow up on. Dorothy
