Karen -- Your search is not going to be that different from African Americans attempting to follow their family trees back to Africa. Here are some suggestions: 1. Start in the British Archives since Britian held Grenada for a time. There are bound to be some records housed in England. 2. Contact the authorities in Grenada to see what information is available. Many records are likely damaged due to weather and lack of preservation, but you never know until you check it out. Also, it is possible that the records are not indexed or otherwise organized, so you may need to take a trip there to see them yourself. 3. You can also try the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which has microfilmed genealogical records from all over the globe. They have established Family History Centres around the world that are open to all genealogists. 4. For info on Grenada vital records contact: Registrar General Church St. St. George's, Grenada West Indies (809) 440-2030 Birth, marriage and death records are available from 1 January 1866 to the present.
