There is a Jamaican website with a search-engine for surnames. I can't find where I stashed the info right now. You might try Google.com or another search engine. I might have gotten it off http://www.cyndislist.com --look under Jamaica. I tried it [the Jamaican site] and was not successful, but it looked to be a good site. I have an Alexander Laird who worked in the Government Printing Office in the 1840s. He was born in Scotland and may have only been over there a short time.
