JAMAICA ARCHIVES RESEARCH SERVICE - DESCRIPTION:
(Prices quoted have been updated to reflect increases in fuel and wire transfer costs)

DESCRIPTION: In association with Wayne Burnside a local researcher in Jamaica the following "research package" will be available for searches at the "Archives" in Spanish Town: For a fee of $60.00 the following records will be searched using one family surname (spelling variations are "O.K.")
supplied by you:

1) PROBATE INVENTORIES
2) PATENTS
3) LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION
4) LETTERS TESTAMENTARY

(SEE DOCUMENT DESCRIPTIONS BELOW).

The $60.00 fee is payable in advance whether or not any records are found and the cost of copies and postage is additional. The $60.00 fee will allow the return of (20) document references per name from any combination of the four types of documents researched; any references greater than (20) in number will be charged at the rate of US$1.00 per reference.

  

So if (50) references are returned for one name then the cost will be $60.00 (for 20 references) PLUS ($1.00 X 30) = $30 (for the additional 30 references) for a total cost of US$90.00. We will send you the additional 30 references on receipt of your check/money order for the added $30.00 charge.
  
Within 3-4 weeks you will be supplied with a list of the "given name and surnames" found and their "document reference numbers." We will then await your order for copies. (see below)
  
COPY CHARGES: The charge for copies will be based on "material" and "time" as follows:
  
MATERIAL COST: For those records which can be "xeroxed": the cost will be 75 cents per 8-1/2 X 11" sheet. For other records that cannot be "xeroxed" microfilming is an option: there is a "microfilm set-up roll charge" of $25.00 which will include a set number of pages (it will cover at least 15 pages) and postage to your address.
  
RESEARCHER TIME COST: Due to the amount of time needed to "access," "mark," "pay-for" and "follow-up" on the microfilm/copy order the following charges for "researcher time" will apply:
  
There will be a flat $25.00 fee per copy order plus a $5.00 per document charge in excess of (2) documents. So if you order copies of 10 documents, the "researcher time cost" will be $25.00 ("flat fee") PLUS $40.00 (2 documents 'free' and 8 documents at $5.00 each) OR $65.00.
  
Your total cost for copies of 10 documents would then be $90.00 ( $25.00 for material cost and $65.00 for researcher time). Payment for copies must be received in advance and allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of microfilm.
  

  
Please read the document descriptions below and use the following email address to place a research order:
  
Wayne Burnside
c/o David Bromfield
email: dbromfield@ucsd.edu
  
1) INVENTORIES: Inventories were performed for people who died, regardless of whether or not they left a will - they list interesting information, such as an approximate death date, name of estate administrator (possibly a spouse or next of kin), perishable items owned by the deceased (slaves, personal effects, furniture, etc, but NOT LAND), and net worth. These inventories run from 1675 to 1837. They can help to round out your genealogy picture.
  
2) PATENTS: Patents usually refer to land that was granted to early settlers of Jamaica but can also include such things as "naturalizations" as well. These patents run from 1662 to 1826. If the patent is for land it will list along with the date of the grant, the acreage and location of the land in Jamaica: this will also include the names of neighbours on whom the land bordered and sometimes on the nature of the land "commons", "forest", "ponds", etc.
  
3) LETTERS TESTAMENTARY: When a person died leaving a will, "Letters Testamentary" were issued to the executor/s granting him/her power to administer the estate including the performance of an inventory of the deceased's estate. These can give a clue as to the death date of an individual as they cite the date that the will was probated. Of course the names of the executors will always be given which may show a "next of kin" or a "close business or personal" associate. Of course they will also mention the parish of the deceased. They cover the period 1723 to 1822.
  
4) LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION: If a person died intestate (without leaving a will), Letters of Administration were granted to an individual (usually a spouse, kin, friend or business associate) which gave them power to administer the deceased's estate including the performance of an Inventory.
  
These letters of administration will give you a "ballpark" idea as to date of death since they show when the letter of administration was granted. Of course they will also mention the parish of the deceased. They cover the period 1715 to 1825.

(Bearing in mind that there was recent - and continuing - volcanic activity which erased the capital of Plymouth from human habitation through enormous rolling boulders and falling ash several meters thick:)

Information received 13 June, 1999:
"The birth and death records are still with the Court House. The Public Library holds some archival material which previously had been housed at Government House (in the cellar). This amounts to some 2270+ pieces including some bound volumes, some files and some very fragile documents. There is a card index of sorts to this collection. However, please remember there is no programme for the systematic transfer of official records of archival value to the Public Library and the collection would therefore not be comprehensive."

Information received 08 May, 2000:
"I just returned from Montserrat where I was able to research my family. There are records of births and deaths and the marriage registry from 1863. Land records do not exist before 1980, which I think may be an error, but this is what the registry people tell me. Beatrice Allen, the librarian at the Montserrat Public Library might be able to put you in contact with someone who will page through the tomes for you."

The cost for certified Birth, Marriage and Death certificates are $25.00 TT (Trinidad Dollars) each plus miscellaneous charges. This is how they break down the cost - $12.50 for search, $12.50 for certificate and $4.00 for stamps, postage and Registration per certificate. Send your money in advance (international money order). You will need to obtain the original request forms which you need to send in with the money order.

Don't discount writing to churches in the area where your ancestor lived. You can sometimes get a good response from some of the Roman Catholic Churches - and in return make a small donation. The local churches have their own records of the 7 sacraments (baptism, marriage etc.). Apparently this is the only Roman Catholic Church that has an E-mail address xtian@cablenett.net. Snail Mail is Cathedral of Immaculate Conception, 31 Independence Square, Port of Spain, Trinidad, West Indies. They may be willing to send a list of RC Churches in Trinidad.
