Tracing Your West Indian Ancestors by Guy Grannum
Published by the Public Records Office.


Research into West Indian ancestry is a relatively new and much neglected area of study in the U.K. This revised illustrated guide introduces researchers to the main sources available at the Public Record Office and elsewhere, including electoral and tax returns, land grants, colonial civil servants, the West Indies regiments and the Slave Compensation Commission.

Contents include:

An introduction to West Indian Family History
Records of the Colonial Office
Life-cycle records
Military and related records
Genealogical resources held in the West Indian archives and registry offices
