SOURCES OF GENEALOGICAL INFORMATION

 Tracing and finding one’s family history can satisfy a person’s desire to know his/her roots as well as provide a source of pride and fulfillment. It is through this search that one can determine and verify relationships and connect to unknown family members.
 
The Registrar General’s Department/Island Record Office  http://www.rgd.gov.jm/?q=genealogical_research is the main source of genealogical information in the island, having in their custody the records of births, deaths, marriages, wills and deeds, adoptions, deed polls,  conveyances, bills of sales and powers of attorney

However, the Jamaica Archives and Records Department has additional information which can assist persons who are seeking information on their family history
