Three more top sites would include:
1. Parish records, civil registration, deeds and wills on
microfilm through the Church of the Latter Day Saints. (This has
been great for Grenada and Carriacou but is a non-existent resource
for others.)
2. V. L. Oliver's History of Antigua proves that West
Indian families were often multi-island and so if a family was
notable in Antigua, the whole family got entered into this wonderful
resource. I read this on microfilm at my local Family History
Center.
3. www.ellisisland.org for all those who came to
America, if just for a visit, from 1890s through the 1920s --
contains detailed description of each individual, their destination
in the USA and the name of their nearest relative in the country
that they had left.
