If I am not mistaken, during the erruption of the volcano, the files were moved to another Island. I was in contact with someone who was in charge of the records, and had put them in touch with the FHL to copy the documents. Due to a rebuild of my hard drive, I no longer have the e-mails, but maybe someone on the list remembers who I corresponded with. Earnest?

Alannah My understanding is that just after the initial activity the records in the archives were moved to Belize - probably to the Belize Archives Department. I don't know if they have remained there. Try contacting them at: Belize Archives Department, 26/28 Unity Boulevard, Belmopan, Belize www.belize.gov.bz/archives_dept/belize.htm, tel: (501) 822247, email: archives@blt.net However, you may not get a response!! I don't know about the state of play regarding private, including church archives - they may still be with the church or may be moved to other churches on or off the island.
