Hello Chris, Dorothy, Listers: I have been wondering whether we could put together a number of prepared responses to "FAQs", frequently asked questions, as I have noticed that whenever someone new joins the list, similar questions are asked, albeit about different territories. Perhaps someone knowledgable about each territory (Barbados, Jamaica, Virgin Islands, Leewards, Windwards etc.) might care to volunteer to prepare a BRIEF summary of what records exist and where, and perhaps some general hints on how to begin West Indies research, so that rather than have to start from scratch each time, Cod would have those files at hand (of course they woud have to be updated from time to time).
