Thanks to those who recently gave us this address at the PRO: > http://www.documentsonline.pro.gov.uk/ I entered "Jamaica" in the Advanced Search section and deleted all categories except "wills" and "text". First, I was struck by how many unfamiliar names there were, and assume that many were UK ex-patriots or seamen who worked on ships travelling to Jamaica. Second, I noticed an extraordinary number of "Practitioners in Physic (sic) and Surgery". I would welcome any thoughts from Listers on the following: Would these have been doctors mostly from the UK working in the Island? Does anyone know the most likely cities/country where West Indians would have gone for medical training between 1800 and 1850? I wonder if the training then would have taken place as it does now, first at a university and then at a hospital. I ask because my g-g-g-grandfather, who was born in Jamaica and who also died there, practised medicine in Kingston. His son is also described as a medical doctor, yet we can find absolutely no record of where they trained. Thanks, Joan Garcia --
