In fact 1st American born in the family.<BR/>I am trying to trace my family who migrated from Jamaica around the late 1890's to about 1910. My grandmother went to Costa Rica with her husband or domestic partner. He left with 2 children and 1 grandchild..never to return. She had about 7-8 other children and stayed there. I am wondering if you have any information on how to trace roots to Jamaica or if you know of any civil registries in jamaica that might help?<BR/>Thank youCarla Rhea Weddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16506835517461297955noreply@blogger.com
