ST. VINCENT MAPS

———————————————————————————–

Obviously, one map of particular genealogical interest, would be one from the 18th and 19th centuries showing the various estates on St. Vincent. We are still trying to locate one of those, but in the meantime we hope the following links to maps will help the researcher get an idea of where things are on the island.

The 1773 French map linked to below shows the various Parishes in existence at that time, which will likely be of some help to researchers. Due to copyright concerns, we could not place the actual map images here, but the links will take you directly to those images.
