    1. Fw: reverse immigration

    3. Subject: re: reverse immigration I would like to know how to get information from Liberia. My direct ancestor from St. Croix, Rev. John SEYS, then living in the USA, was appointed as Minister Resident/Consul General to Liberia in 1866. He maped the area of Careysburg. The map is now in the possession of The American Colonization Society. There is supposedly a monument honoring him in Liberia. He was a bishop in Liberia, also. There is a book, "VIRGINIA'S NINTH PRESIDENT: JOSEPH JENKINS ROBERTS" edited by C.W. Tazewell. It is about Mr. ROBERTS (1809-1876), a black man from Virginia, who became the first president of Liberia. Hester
