	Michelle, check out Rootsweb sites too. Good luck. I think the National Archive site has info aswell.

Member Since: August 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	Has anyone had any luck tracing family of West Indian origin? I cant' seem to find any useful information on it, also Im reluctant to subscribe to another website unless I know they have something on Jamaican histories. It'll be a waste of money otherwise. I have a very unusual surname, and thought I would have no trouble finding something, but looks like Im the only one in the world with this surname, any tips will be gratefully appreciated. I have contacted the island record office (jamaica) and received no answer.
