Both sides of the family have been well researched. In the same generation on both sides I had a rabbi and a pork butcher! Mum's family came from Bialystock in Eastern Europe and ended up in Northern Ireland after escaping the persecution of the Jews. Dad's family are Londoners! |

It was easy to research my Irish side but the Jamaican side proved a lot harder as not all of the invoices could be found so there are gaps but its quite interesting that part of my family was a slave in Scotland before being transported to Jamaica |

It's difficult to research when your family come from captured, indentured stock. I have no idea which part of India my mother's side were taken from. I know my grandmother was born just after British indenture ended in 1917.
My father's side is very confused as it's got Portuguese and other things too. I know a great grandfather was in Trinidad and his son was born in Barbados.
My brother in law has been doing his, it's easier as it's all Dorset and Somerset.
