My great great great great grandfather had the name HONORABLE placed before his
name (an irish man, John Proctor Lake, who was a plantation Owner on the
isalnd of Anguilla in 1827) do you or anyone out there know what the HONORABLE
stood for. Was told once it was for a person of status such as a judge or
lawyer. Is this true

Not sure what your question is actually about?
Current research on this list is actively studying surnames shared by carib
people of all races.
Some may be blood relatives some the result of baptismal names the
quandaries are the same
I think there is less "denial" in the Carib than seems manifest in the
States.
Is that what you were getting at?

Hi List-members,
The Barbados couple William Newsam Byer (born c. 1816; planter of Little
Grove, St. George in 1868; planter in Sweet Bottom, St. George in 1879)
and Eliza Hayes (born c. 1843) were married in 1868 at St. George's
Parish Church.
They had at least three children:
a) Gabriel Benjamin Byer ('Benny'; born 1873 St. Michael; a minister of
the Methodist Church in Tobago, Barbados and St. Lucia; died after 1939;
married to Eileen Brathwaite; three sons/two daughters);
b) William Oscar Byer ('Ossy'
Dear Ed Crawford,
I know in my case my mothers father was Adolph Gereau he was the
legitimate son of Mederic Gereau the illegitimate son of a black mother
and a white man named Giraud. I have been told that name variation for
the recognized illegitimate is a frequent practice in France.
For Edward and maybe a couple other people....."Empire is lost and now the
Lion and the Wolf shall cease"

Hello all,
I am very annoyed that this, Pretty Park virus, has corrupted my computer. I
will be deleting all my address book and are taking steps (throughout Norton
anti-virus) to purge my computer system.
What you can do: a)delete any emails from me (dutri@home.com) and block any
emails from duty@home. I have an alternate email: glenmofford@hotmail which
is NOT affected by this virus.
Again my apologies but this all started when I opened the file (innocently
sent by my brother) and it's been very annoyi
Many thanks to everyone - I'm overwhelmed by all the responses.
I have no personal connection (that I know of) with Statia, I just
thought people might eventually be interested in the information.
As with other lists I've been working on, all will go on the Net real
soon now.
The delay is partly caused by my understanding that once a list is
submitted, to Caribbean/WorldGenWeb Archives no further corrections
can be made; therefore I am endeavouring to make them as near-
perfect as possible.
Any ass
Hi there!
I am STILL in need of some help from someone in the Kingston, Jamaica
area. I am trying to find the death date of my g-g-grandmother Alice
Constance DEPASS (nee BELLINGER). She was born in Montego Bay in
1860, but she and her husband and their children moved to Kingston about
1899-1900. My g-g-grandfather died in 1904 in Kingston. I believe he was
buried in Kingston. My g-g-grandmother was still alive up until December of
1939. She outlived at least 3 out of her 5 children. The time fr

South Carolina during the Revolutionary War and was confined on one of

I appreciate some of the points that Richard makes, but the
problem is that he has turned round what other people say. He
asserts that "The matrilineal is used in the absence of someone
coming forward as father" as if this is the only situation in
which the mother's name is used, but I indicated in my posting
that some mothers prefer to use their own names even in cases
where the father is known. Richard's generalisations seem to
exclude the fact of occasional female independence of the male.

Someone is apparently piping messages from this list to the

Not only do the messages appear out of context but they also get
cut erratically. Can something be done to stop this? When I write
to this list I don't expect parts of my messages to be sent on
elsewhere as if I were the sender and without my prior knowledge.
