    OMG!! I see I'm not alone!!! I can't offer any advice, as all my on-line searches have come up short, and I gave up! The only thing that I've done was plug in key words, in hopes of getting links that might lead to more detailed info..It wasn't of much help, so I gave up a few years back. I'm going to try some of the suggestions that have already been made here.. I hope this all works out for everyone! My mother is from Jamaica, and unfortunately, she can't tell me too much detailed info about my relatives.She left there years ago, and a lot of them are now deceased.. I'd at least like to see some pics, but as of yet, I'm getting very few bits and pieces to the large puzzle.. Good luck, everyone!!!

    very true. and probably will be interesting....my great grandfather (my mom's grandpa) was apparently from out that side (and seems to have single handed populated several villages lol). the family name is Henry. what's yours?

    I'll have to ask my dad about the names in Greenbay. I'm sure that he'll know your family though, lol. That's the way it is in Antigua.

    Yes Caribs are alive and well, though most of us are mixed. But just like you don't necessarily stop being black because you are mixed you don't stop being Carib just because you are mixed. The Carib population has grown a lot! I think in Dominica if you're are born on the reservation there you are a Carib but on the other islands it's a matter of who you're descended from. We don't have a blood quantum requirement like here in the states.

    More links. I found this to be fascinating! I knew the Irish were hated by the British but WOW! Who knew the extent.

    Irish Slavery in the West Indies & Mainland America


    I once lived in the north Bronx where there is a large community of Irish people. I always found the Irish brogue so easy on my ears; sounds like WI dialect to me....now I know why.

    You are so right. I used to work with an irish woman who used to say "wait no" quite often. Everytime I heard her say this a strong sense of familiarity always came over me.

    really? so im mine...well on my mommy's side. what's your family name? mine is archer.
    i'm from town (st. johns) but my mom was born in all saints. whats your family name?
    all the islands kept records but as i understand it it that responsiblity was mostly left up to the churches (recording baptisms, burials, that sort of thing).

    That really is interesting. I was always told that the Irish were indentured servants not slaves. Today we still have some of their descendants who are poor and live a hard life known as "poor whites" "red legs" and "ecky beckys"(derogatory) they are mostly found in the parish of St. John.

    My mother's family was able to trace their roots for a number of generations back. My father's family roots on his mothers side have been passed down orally. We were lucky as my grandmother who was born in 1911 lived till she was 95 and had a memory that was sharp as a pin up until a week before she died.
