Strange, as a result of this thread I did a brief scan of all the Carib Gen sites and realized how few of us (me included) ever produced simple lists of the primary sources! Got some great graphics though! Now Jamaica sources are exhaustively covered by Madeleine Mitchel’s Jamaica Gen site. Also Jamaica Family Search. Jim Lynch’s pages provide a lot on a variety of islands, plus publishing some hard to get data on Antigua Tyrrel had done quite abit on St Kitts….. Assuming this is kind of “first contact” stuff, what form would be most effective? If the briefs are prepared by each volunteer they might all be posted on the CaribGenWeb Mother site so that one url could be provided to someone when they pop up….. This could be the island specific guide to starting your Gen search in the Carib….. Deeper guidance could be provided by referral to works on the topic, and the experience of the Listers. Ideas????
