The e-mail address of the BVI's Chief Records Management Officer and Coordinator of the National Archive's Project acquired a couple of asterisks from somewhere during my recent post. It should have read [email protected] We now live too far out from the village for the Carollers to call for some of my wife's excellent guavaberry wine, but the fungi band from "the country" (Belle Vue, in this case) dropped in towards the end of this morning's sunrise service, as usual, and soon had the choir and congregation rocking to their scratch band. Afterwards, their joyful sounds followed us up the the hillside from the road below, as we left some late gifts with friends and family, some not yet up. A parcel of archival CD-ROMs ordered in September opportunely arrived from England yesterday. One of them is an electronic version of an 1875 history of Camberwell (now part of London) which we have in store in England. It contains substantial passages on Dr John Coakley Lettsom, the Quaker founder of the London Medical Society, who was born on Little Jost van Dyke (near Tortola), He freed all his slaves in 1768, against the wishes of neighbouring planters, before returning to London. Happy Holidays, everyone :-)) Peter Moll East End Tortola BVI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: BVI Family records Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:04:33 -0400 From: Spring <[email protected]> To: Rootsweb: Caribbean <[email protected]> CC: Peter Moll <[email protected]>, Verna Penn Moll <[email protected]>, Dante <[email protected]>, SLG <[email protected]> Sources of BVI Family Records (continued) (Snip) The Archives Unit Deputy Governor's office Burhym Building 49 De Castro Street Road Town Tortola VG1110 British Virgin Islands Tel: (284) 468 2365 Fax: (284) 468 2582 Email: [email protected]**
