    Good afternoon All,

    Below is a list of some sources I've used that you may find useful in your Caribbean research:

    Books

    Guy Grannum, Tracing Your Caribbean Ancestors, Third Edition, The National Archives/Bloomsbury Publishing, 2012
    Alan L. Karras, Sojourners in the Sun: Scottish Migrants in Jamaica and the Chesapeake, 1740–1800, Cornell University Press, 1992
    Madeleine E. Mitchell, Jamaican Ancestry: How to Find Out More, Heritage Books, Inc. Maryland, USA, 1998
    Cassandra Pybus, Black Founders: The unknown story of Australia's first black settlers, UNSW Press, 2006 
    Richard S. Reddie, Abolition!: The Struggle to Abolish Slavery in the British Colonies, Lion, Oxford England, 2007

    Apart from Ancestry, FamilySearch and FindMyPast, you may also find the following websites useful:

    Happy Researching, Jane M
