D. Lindo's genealogy CD

[UHUR...@aol.com]

Thank you Robin for the explanation of "rose." Boy do I feel silly!

I have finally loaded a copy of Donald Lindo's Genealogy of Jamaica CD
onto my computer. If anyone is interested I can look up some names.

Dear Stephanie - I overheard your conversation regarding Donald Lindo's CD -
It is my understanding that it pertains mainly with Jewish surnames in
Jamaica - If this is the case we might be sharing our research in the same
areas - Interested in Cohen, Joseph, Oppenheim, Levy, Hart, Isaacs, Salomons,
Alexander etc. Regards - Richard.

[Heather Figueroa]

Dear Richard....

I also have a copy of the CD and was not of the opinion that it was
mostly jewish records......it is for all Jamaicans. Lots of my
husband's ancestors on there because I contributed the information to
Donald. None of the Coopers, Cookes, Figueroas or Ritchies were
jewish, for instance. Although if I could go back 400 years, probably
the Figueroas were.

I say this in the kindest way, but as a lot of the information is
contributed by many people, it would be best to doublecheck it in the
FHC microfilms as some of it may be hearsay, etc. You know...."well,
aunt Rose said that Great-Grandma said that we are descended from King
Henry the Eighth"....and so on.

Cheers,

Heather

Hi list,
How can someone obtain a copy of the CD? I was also wondering exactly what
does the CD contain?
Thanks for the Info,
Debbie

Stephanie:

Thank you for your very kind offer. I am looking for the birth date and
place of Mary and Jane Savage (born early 1700's) whose parents were Habijah
and Jane (Morgan) Savage. The parents were from Bermuda, but daughter, Jane,
(and maybe Mary) was reported born in Jamaica. Habijah was a ship's Captain
and traveled the West Indies and to America extensively.

The two young girls were later orphaned by pirate action and grew up in
Virginia.

Normally I would send this direct, but there may be someone else "out there"
who can help.

Thank you for your offer.

Edward

Edward...

There is mention of a deed in Volume 1 of "Caribbeana" dated 1736 under the name
of Habijah Savage.

Other Savage_s are mentioned in the lower-numbered volumes as well.

I hope this is not taken as a crass commercial offering... contact me privately
for the text and other look-ups if you wish.

I'm not sure what period is covered by the CD, but if it covers 1850 to
1880, I am trying to find info about my grandfather, James Toolsie (also
Tulsi, Toolsee) born in Jamaica 1873. His father was probably an indentured
worker from India, possibly arriving about 1870 or earlier. Somehow, by 1900
he was a Presbyterian Teacher/Minister in Princestown, Trinidad because
that's the year my mother was born. If you could see if the Toolsie or Tulsi
name appears, I would be quite grateful and as I am in a Washington, DC
suburb with access to the U.S. National Archives, could do something for
you.
Thanks.

I have been using Lindo's CD for some time now. I believe it is in its
second edition. I was somewhat surprised that a Lister thought it was
primarily of Jewish Jamaicans as I have found many persons with Cayman Island
connections and have never thought of a Jewish relationship. However, I'll
let Donald speak for himself. He can be reached at de...@colis.com or at
de...@mail.infochan.com

I've found the CD helpful, Donald very cooperative, and the price reasonable.
If you have an interest in Jamaica, I recommend it.

I agree.

D. Lindo's CD, which I purchased in first edition, was not the answer to all
my research needs, but it has proven very usefull in many ways over the past
two years. Donald is one of the pioneers of on-line Ja Gen and a lovely
person. His work has helped many of us.

Hello! I have been searching for a Juliana Grace Hart who married William Pitt Kirkland in Jamaica on Mar 1, 1818. She died in 1853 in Jamaica. I would love to know who her parents were if someone is able to look her up. Thank you
Sarah

Hi Sarah:

Unfortunately, Donald Lindo's CD does not have any parents for Juliana Grace
Hart. I believe another person who is researching this family is Marie
Snaith Scott but I do not have an email address for her. She contributed
information to Donald for his CD.

One up-and-coming resource I have had success with and where I send
people now is Facebook.

There is AT LEAST one Group on Facebook now for each parish in Jamaica,
and Joining and asking questions usually gets results from people on the
ground.

One person went as far as to go to the cemetery nearest to the address I
had, and send me what was on my relative's tombstone - as well as the
fact that his wife was buried next to him (which I did not know) as well
as what that tombstone said.

In Facebook, search with the keywords "Jamaica genealogy" (and the name
of the parish).

Hope that helps a bit...
