Hi Dorothy, Here's something from my post of 03/06/2003. Maybe you should take the opportunity to have your library purchase a copy. "Solving East Indian roots in Trinidad" by Shamshu Deen Freeport Junction, Bahamas: H.E.M. Enterprises. 1994 318p. This is a account of Deen's trying to find his own roots. It should be interesting to Trinidad researchers in the same quest, in terms of records and methodology. Regards, Richard
