Hi Jim: I don't know if you're aware of this, but J. C. Philllippo wrote a book, "The climate of Jamaica" (London : Churchill, 1876). Are you also connected to James M. Phillippo, the missionary, who wrote "Jamaica, its past and present state" (Philadelphia : Saxton & Miles, 1843)? Do you have access to Patricia Jackson's web site, Jamaican Family Search? I found 39 hits on the name "Phillippo", and at least two citations for Supreme Court wills, as follows: Phillippo, James Cecil, 1895 Phillippo, Jancy, 1928 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Saunders" <Jim-Saunders@shaw.ca> To: <CARIBBEAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: May 22, 2003 12:41 PM Subject: Local Government in Jamaica > My family records indicat I had at least an ancestor, possibly more than > one, who were involved in the Jamaican government in the 19th century.
