interesting
Interesting also that it is briefly set on Bettys Hope a Plantation I
understand founded in the mid 1600's and owned from 1674 by Christopher
CODRINGTON
Nelson's Caribbean Hell-hole: An Eighteenth Century Navy Graveyard
Human bones found on an idyllic beach in Antigua trigger an
investigation by naval historian Sam Willis into one of the darkest
chapters of Britain's imperial past. As archaeologists excavate a mass
grave of British sailors, Willis explores Antigua's ruins and discovers
how the sugar islands of the Caribbean were a kind of hell in the age of
Nelson.
Sun, sea, war, tropical diseases and poisoned rum.

Hi, Ann,
Go to this link:
http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/recherche.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE
then choose a commune. The rest of the criteria are optional & don?t really need to be filled in. You will get a listing of all the registers for that town and can choose from that list. The records start in 1639 and end in 1907. That should keep you busy for a while!
Bonnes recherches,
Augusta
