>I would definitely say some strong Afro influence, but more than Brazilian, I >would lean towards Cuba. hi David: Thanks for the response. that would make absolute sense. I uncle lived and worked in Cuba for many years before the Castro regime and would talk pleasntly about the "sweet music" made by the local cane workers. Regards Ronnie :0)
3. Origin of Caribbean Music [1]
Fellow Listers: A little off track but rather important to me. My great uncle Bernard once told me that caribbean music (the beat mainly) was a combination of African drum beats and Portuguese and or Brazilian beat. I recently mentioned this to one of my co-workers (he is of Brazilian descent) and he told me he was certain that was wrong. Now I explained to him that I was referring the the beat or tempo of the music and not the types of music say, Salsa or Maringe(sp??), etc. from the various islands.

There was a big conference on that last year in the U.S. somewhere. just as an aside, a lot of the older generation of Chinese Jamaicans still speak the Hakka dialect - you can hear it a lot in the Chinese social (read "mah jong" gambling) clubs in jamaica and in the little betting shops. -- Christopher A.

8. ADAMS SURNAME [1]
I am looking for information concerning my grandfather's family. My grandfather Gabriel Augustus Adams born in Kingston(?)

He arrived in the USA in August 1913 and was process thru "Ellis Island" in New York. He later moved to Boston, Mass. in 1916 and sent for my grandmother Lillian Francis Adams and their two da

--- You wrote: I have checked "The Original Scots Colonists of Early America Caribbean Supplement 1611-1707" by Dobson and Thomas Lyall is not mentioned. I also checked "Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America 1625-1826 by David Dobson" the same not mentioned. --- end of quote --- Thank you, that is very kind of you. However, he emigrated from Glasgow (Paisley) to Demerara in 1837. Is there a directory that would show that year? I believe the ones that you kindly checked for me are too early. T

My apologies to all for starting a scare, but at the time I really thought I was hit by a virus. I was just telling my hubby we have some pretty crafty folks out there that have nothing else to do with their time but scare poor old folks like me :0) Again...

Thanks Richard, Cindy and MReilly, This is fascinating. Maybe I'll write a book. My dad prints a lot of genealogical histories for people. (The LAND side of my family has been in printing/publishing/newspapers for four or five generations, at least. I know much more about them than I do about the DALFERES and FAIRLY lines.) He has never printed one that outlines a part of our family history. Maybe I'll have to be the one to write it. Again, thanks to everyone who has contributed to my growing k

17. Re: Surname: ROACH or JONES [0.982305]
You run into a lot of people around Lima, Peru whose ancestors came to the country fom Britain. Though not quite as numerous as the Spanish or Italians there are quite a few Lima Peruvians with names like Hastings, Gibson, Gibbs and Bryce. Many came in as engineers or traders and worked on projects like bridges, railroads or shipping out guano in exchange for fabric. Another possible source of the British name Roach are the Spanish names Rochas and Roxas.
18. card game- Boreek [0.982305]
Growing up on the island of St Thomas (Virgin Islands), my Grannie played a card game with me called 'Boreek' that she learned as a child. Does anyone out there remember the rules of this game? I know it was played similar to another game called 'Pick the pack' but I'm lacking some specific rules. By the way, I suspect the term 'boreek' may just a form of the Dutch Creole word for donkey (borika). thanks in advance for any help! Dante

20. The Baily (Bayley) and Edwards Family of the West Indies [0.982305]
This is my first posting to your list, but I wondered if anybody has any connections to the Baily or Edwards Family of Jamaica. I am particularly interested in the family of Zachary Baily who came from the Westbury area of Wiltshire in England and settle somewhere in Jamaica and owned or leased Sugar Plantations, I understand that some of his grandchildren married into Bryan Edwards family of Jamaica. I am also interested in any families that came from the County of Wiltshire and settle in the Caribbean isl

24. Re: GOSSLING [0.982305]
There was a GOSLING family here in Barbados. They, husband, wife and I think two children, moved to Canada sometime in the 1950's or early 1960's. I think they had lived in the St John area of Barbados. see ya Doug Newsam -----Original Message----- From: Henry Hassell To: CARIBBEAN-L@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, March 22, 2002 11:27 AM Subject: GOSSLING >A new name for me but looking for any connection with other Caribbean >Islands.

25. Re: Early GOSLINGS in Barbados [0.982305]
The GOSLING name appears in the very earliest Barbados records; one of them marries a DUESBERRY, who had links to Pennsylvania; it is possible that they were originally Quakers. There is a gap in the records after the early 1700s and the GOSLING name reappears in the mid 1700s, but I have been unable to make any link between the early settlers and the later families. I am appending a file I have put together on early Goslings, but I do have a great deal more on later GOSLING families in Barbados (they inte
