Hi Levon It will always help other listers if you specify a time period for the people you are studying. It also helps if you identify a target person or group which represents your take off point from "known" to unKnown.... There are a lot of sources you can learn about: The LDS has filmed many of the older vital records in Jamaica for information on sources like theirs see Madeleine Mitchell's incredibly informative Jamaica Genealogy web-site: http://users.pullman.com/mitchelm/jamaica.htm her site is something to mark in your favorites and study over time because there is far too much to digest in a quick visit. For hard data from Jamaica Almanacs, Gleaners, and various other written sources such as extracts from Caribbeana, various Histories of Jamaica, Monumental Inscriptions, etc see Patricia Jackson's "Jamaica Family Search" http://www.jamaicanfamilysearch.com/ which has a ton of hard information which you can have full access to for a very minimal fee. This is a start. Mitchel's web-site has a lot of wise advice on how to tackle Jamaica research. I have been doing this since 1995 and return to her site all the time to remind myself of angles and dangles... In addition, once you put together a bit more specific target group with facts known etc you have some fine researchers lurking on this list with many years experience picking through Jamaica sources... I hope this is some help, ChrisCod -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of levon Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 4:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Johns Family Jamaica I am very interested in the Johns family from Jamaica Westmoreland and St Elizabeth, does anyone have information or how do I find this information?
