3. Re: Jeems [1]
I found in my research that this could be originally JAMES, did you see this in German archives? My research in Dutch Archives (Netherlands Antilles) shows the name JEEMS, as well as a first name and as a family name in this spelling and it would be just writing down what someone heard.

4. Re: Jeems [1]
I don't quit understand your answer, but I have a Anna JEEMS as early as 1788 as a widow of a Cornelis PLETSZ in Curagao. If you would ask a German to write down James you would probably also get something like JEEMS. I must admit I don't know enough about the origin of the name, just a wild guess about the phonetical spelling. (But the Ellis island data-base shows that even towards the end of the 19th century, we see a lot of phonetical spelling, the other way around, don't you agree?) And about the questi
5. Jeems [1]
Hi, Am researching an ancestor by the name of Elizabeth Jeems (b.1790, d.1835, but no documentation yet to prove that), married to Heinrich Kracke, and lived in Germany. My questions are; where does this name come from; is there a possibilty, given the geography, that someone from Germany (in the 1700/1800's), would marry someone from the West-Indies. The name 'Jeems'is hard to find throughout the world, and I keep coming up with the West Indies. Thought someone in this group may have come across this name

Hi, Tony... Sorry for the delay responding, but due to the SPAM situation I keep these emails separate from my usual mailbox and seldom get time to visit and check mail. Sorry again, but I have no Whilemena Lynch (or any Heholt or Innerarity) in my database. As a matter of fact I have very few Trinidadian connections at all (assuming St. Anns was a reference to Trinidad). I wish I had better news, because I am still trying to pry loose some mortar from between the blocks in my present "brick wall" at 180
11. Re: Mary Thomas alias "Queen Mary" of St. Croix [0.980139]
There is a section about her in Erik Lawaetz's book on St. Croix. The insurection was mostly composed of landless leaseless wage laborers from the British islands. There had been a raise given the island's sugarmill workers and so the field laborers felt their pay should be moved up in parallel. There was also a curfew and pass travel system that restricted the wage laborers from exploring St. Croix. This was putting them at a disadvantage finding new positions away from whoever already had their contract

Dear Listbuds and genealogy friends: I am going up my Carrington line, and found that my that my great-grandfather, Joseph Alfred Taitt (1861-1924) of Barbados married his first cousin, Adelaide Louisa Amelia Carrington (1863-?) and moved to Trinidad, where their grandchildren and great grandchildren still live on the property that he bought when they first went to Trinidad. My grandmother was a product of a relationship Joseph Alfred had out of his marriage, but since his wife was his first cousin,

I am still receiving surnames from family researchers and adding them about every two weeks or less.

16. Re: TransIsthmus route to Australia, Nicaragua [0.980139]
The Nicaraguan TransIsthmian route was developed by Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt's first business was a ferry boat between Staten Island and Manhattan. He was very good at forming business combinations and rationalizing routes. He managed to dominate first the Staten Island Ferries then the newer steamboat service from Manhattan to Albany which had been originated by Robert Fulton and the Livingstons. Vanderbilt cut rates and improved service eventually selling out to the investing public

Thanks. While Wayne was here in Copenhagen I cooperated with him in connection with the new information on the four "fireburn"-women.

Hi, I'm looking for any information relating to Goddin family members that may have been present in Jamaica in the 1700's or 1800's.

25. Re: [Carib-L] Re:Shipping late 1800's [0.980139]
I understand there to have been a trickle of West Indians going to Australia since the days of the penal colony. I would not be surprised if the industrialized sugar production, Knox and CSR encouraged more migration.
