Hello, It would be very useful to fellow researchers if a list was compiled of where the most useful genealogical tools for West Indian research could be found. I am willing to compile this list for researchers of Jamaican genealogy - would anybody be interested in doing similar for other West Indian areas? If you are able, please add to the following list and return it to me. Thank you.
