I am so glad that this is coming up for discussion on the list. I am forwarding (see below) the response I got from the archives about obtaining copies of Marriage and Birth Records from the 1750's indexed by Sanders. I would be grateful to hear of other people's experiences in similar endeavours. Thank you.

This department does not provide copies of certificates. Please write to the following address quoting reference numbers: The Registrar Registration Office Coleridge Street Bridgetown BARBADOS Yours Sincerely, Ingrid Marshall(Mrs) For Chief Archivist __________________________________ Research Department Barbados Department of Archives Black Rock , St. James, Barbados Telephone: (246) 425-5150 Fax: (246) 425-5911 email: archives@sunbeach.net

Dear Richard, I have copies of certificates from the registrar and it takes forever. 3 months is not out of the question and they are no more than a typed form containing no more information than you get from the microfilms from LDS. You have to send a bank draft or postal order in Barbadian Dollars, they don't accept US or Canadian Dollars although they will accept Sterling. So if I was you I would just photocopy the entries you want from the LDS microfilms. Good luck Adrian Jervis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Allicock" <richwyn@idirect.com> To: <CARIBBEAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2003 1:29 AM Subject: Getting copies of B'dos Documents > I am so glad that this is coming up for discussion on the list. > > I am forwarding (see below) the response I got from the archives about obtaining copies of Marriage and Birth Records from the 1750's indexed by Sanders. > > I would be grateful to hear of other people's experiences in similar endeavours.

Dear Adrian, Thanks for the suggestion. Another person has told me very much the same.
