Caribbean Roots
Caribbean Roots was launched in 2007 to encourage and promote research into Caribbean genealogy, identity and heritage.
We cannot carry out research or provide detailed individual guidance but common questions will hopefully be answered through the FAQ pages. Instead our aim is to signpost resources and tell you about new events, books, websites and software to help you with your research.
