Jason, I have Brewster, Busby, who came to St. Croix about the same time as Gov. Heyliger, from Stacia, McBean, Clendenin, Hewitt, Dyer, Bryan, Petersen, Saunders, Hendricks, My St. Thomas people Adams, Benjamin, Francis, Monsanto, Simmons, Quetel, Gereau, Christian, Francois, DelVallie, Jarvis, and those are the ones off the top of my head. I am trying to find the census' for 1860-1911, My faternal frandfather died sometime before 1917, so he does not show on the census, his wife does not show either, but I think that she did not give up her danish citizenship at the transfer. Let me know if you want the maps and list Ann "Sharing the information."

I thank you for the email. I am still looking for the elusive key bit of info to take me to the next island back. I have Heyliger, Richardson and dewindt genealogies. I have copies of the beck map and the earlier map that he copied his from. I have some of the early tax list info. I have bits of property info. I have plantation histories, etc. I guess I have been off the topic for a while and am rusty. At some point I will go thru my file boxes and organize the st.croix files. I need to put them online. Do you know Heather Nielsen? She has been very helpful to me this past year. I have quite a bit of posts on the various lists that are for st.croix genealogy. The 300 person list you mentioned is the one from 1767 or so? I have that one, thanks. Perhaps we could compare notes sometime. What are your surnames for the early 1700s? Mine are heyliger, Ruan, Gumbs, DeWindt, Richardson, BArnes, etc. regards, Jason Carpenter ==== CARIBBEAN Mailing List ==== Before posting a query, check to see if the question has already been asked on the List.
