AND THEN…..
by Cheryl Hazell

And then he kissed me.

All up and down.

Blue to brown stares, pale to dark, species to species.

And then we waited,

Hushed in a printed meadow of blues and purples

As a goal was scored beyond our breaths.

And then he whispered that it’s all the same,

That before he knew me, he’d already known the game.

And then a silent hand replaced

The veil encasing us in ambient space.

    Hi Cheryl, I like what you are doing to preserve our ancestry in St Vincent. Have you come across any info on the Fraser’s or Ellis families. Dentist Ellis of Kingstown was my paternal great uncle, his people came from Portugal originally via Funchal in Madeira. I am trying to find birth, marriage and death info for these ancestors of mine and as you know our people were not meticulous at keeping such records. I go to Portugal three times a year to try and trace the Ellis (Ellias, the original family name) family, which I have a little success with over there but I go home to SVG regularly and I can’t seem to get any info on the families there. I guess I don’t know where to look. Can you help? There is nothing on the Fraser’s in Georgetown, Layou, Kingstown, Cane Garden, Carapan or Stubbs where I understand most lived. I also knew my great uncle Harry had worked at the Barnards in Orange Hill around the fifties.

    Hello Corwin, Sorry for not answering sooner but I have not been checking this website for emails as I have an address at the top of my links page for this purpose however, very good you have been to Portugal and have made some way in your research. Madeira is where I go mostly every year as I have not been sucessful so far in the Paternal side of my family mainly there is virtually no info. in St. Vincent before 1864 for births & deaths. Deaths can be of some help in that the age of death can give some indication of the year of birth, give or take a year or two as dates sometimes were not correct.
    I have not come across your family name. but cannot understand the lack of infomation because your family names were well known. Do you know Dentist Ellis’s parents name? Another point you need to bear in mind is where a mother’s name on a death cert. can be her maiden name or if she is known by a nick name this may be registered in death rather than the true name.
    A good starting point is going through the Indexes starting from 1864 for births and working foward writing down all the info you find of all the Ellis’s births, the same for the marriages, the church also would have info. and the same for the deaths, this is the only way when you do not have dates to start from. Having another person with you can speed this up. This is very time consuming and be monotenous but there is no short cut to this.
    As far as Dr. Ellis is concern I remember him from my school days and I am guessing but I would estimate he was born around 1910 give or take five years.

    Hope this is of some use to you.

    Kind regards,

    Cheryl
