Caribbean Genealogy: Tracing Ancestors in Jamaica, Haiti, and Panama

Yetunde Moronke Abiola
Free

Many people have discovered that they have ancestors who settled many, many years ago in Jamaica, Haiti or Panama. Have you made this discovery? How do you go about finding the descendants of these ancestors? Or piecing the puzzle? Yetunde will show you how to start, focus and streamline your search. She will also provide you with important facts and useful tips and resources to help you in your search (this would be particularly useful for those who have never been to Jamaica, Haiti or Panama or who have no known contacts to work with). By the end of this session, you will be able to make a confident start on tracing your Jamaican, Haitian or Panamanian ancestor(s).
