I wonder if anyone has attempted the crazy feat of creating a “Jamaica Family Tree”🌴 . Sure would be interesting

I’ve spent the entire day building a family tree maker using html and JavaScript

It’s getting there. Simple at the mo but it will be free when I release it to the wild 😝

Why doesn’t he crack on? Just get chat got to write it and then do a bit of editing.😂

Nice work. My mother’s maternal side of the family are pretty easy.. luckily they are linked to minor aristocracy so.. they go way back. My Fathers side more complex..

It’s gone beyond just having different opinions. The right have mobilised into tag teams. To take on reasonable people and human interest. They pour forth to defend and shore up patently vile hot takes from KTGobkins and PMorgan

Also I find family search incredibly frustrating. You can find a lot of stuff but some people are just total dead ends

I just start talking about genealogy

That’s pretty much
My method too. In the summer I make models. In the winter it’s family history.. too cold in my office for hobbying

Any Jamaican Genealogy people on here? Do you know any?

I guess. It’s all good for me so far..

I know it sounds elitist but.. when I started on there it was exciting because it was full of clever people who knew things and shared knowledge.. then the trolls hijacked it to complain about ethnicity or diversity .. and now it’s the Titanic

Yep I first joined Twitter in 2007. It’s ruined

Yes please. Son of Jamaican

It’s disheartening to witness such short-sightedness from some…

I feel for these people. But this was so unsafe.. they could have been swept away. Also the water level had already reached their feet so ..what did they think they were doing? Can’t bail more volume than a flowing river.

Sometimes the only way to kill something off is to let it play out. They voted Trump. They gave him full authority with senate and house.. hand him the matches and the gasoline.. let him burn it down and be hated

I’m amazed by the renewed power of Bluesky. Since Twitter became X the quality of responses and interactions had gotten so poor.. I’d almost stopped using it. This feels like early Twitter again where like minded folk seek progress.

He’s still your dad. Just not your father. If that makes sense.

I’m seeking some people.
Triplets born in the Browns Town, St Ann, Jamaica.🇯🇲 1952/53 ish

Maybe Reid maybe Thompson. There can’t be too many.

It’s kinda horror… no monster beasties but still horrific

My favourite is probably Kujo but if I was recommending non horror 11:22:63 or Insomnia

Where do we find this list please. I’m no longer subscribed, at the moment

Does anyone know what the status of the Jamaican births marriages and deaths is in terms of being fully digitised? I know Ancestry has some, Family search etc.. what about the rest. Are ALL. Records digitised now.

I’m a first generation kid. My father and most of his siblings left JA for the UK or USA. I think a couple of sisters stayed.

That’s good info.. I’m still learning.. it’s complex really because of of all the possible permutations.

Yes. Ancestry and 23&me. Uploaded to Myheritage and Gedmatch.

I wonder what happens when their trolls get bored and come over here?

As a mixed race adopted Brit, I grew up not knowing my true roots. Turns out I’m half Jamaican and half Irish.
Always felt at home in Dublin.. where some ancestors came from 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’m seeking people born around 1952/53 who went to school in Linstead or Browns Town. Contact me..

Yes, I am on most of those groups. And a couple of Gedmatch groups. Hoping to reach real people on the ground, to be honest.
