Try googling

Jamaica vital records

There are a number of links and its basically trying each one.

This one gives a lot of useful info (I'm down that route myself)

Try googling the relatives name - you never know what you may find!

Hi, thanks for info, have tried lots of links with no success. Do have names and addresses but no dates unfortunatly. Also payment options are not very clear, they all seem to be in u.s dollars. Anyway thanks again will try your suggestions.:-)

You'll find that as long as they take an online credit card, you can make a payment (should you choose to subscribe) . The CC company will convert to GBP and bill you in Sterling.

its probably best to try to find out what records they hold first, to see if it is likley to fit into your time frame.

Hope you have some success.....eventually!
