Antigua, Nevis, Montserrat, St. Christopher, and Falmouth Records for the 1700s

Genealogy is so important to many of us. Finding records of our ancestors that are from the Caribbean is always a great feeling. While many feel that they must travel to the Caribbean in search of their ancestors, it is not necessarily always the case.  Such is the case for the island of Antigua and some of the other islands such a Falmouth, Nevis, St. Christopher, and Montserrat. With these collections, it requires a visit to a local Family History Center. Check out the below post to find one near you.
