I don't know anybody from Dominica. I would love to meet some perhaps there are others on this network who can answer your questions concerning this topic.
tainoray
I really hope you find the relatives you are looking for!
Family ties and patterns in the Caribbean seems to be a bit loose to me, and I believe this is due to the island life style. Most often it is the women who keeps the families together while the men travel around the islands - often in order to find work - and the women and children stay behind. And it is not uncommon that the men have different families in the different islands - which don't appeals to me.. I would not feel comfortable sharing my man! :-)
I believe the Caribs tend to be more rooted in the island/Dominica than the majority of the population.
How old is your son? I have two sons; aged 3 and 12, and a daughter of 10.
Have a nice weekend!

Nice to meet you!
So your son's father is from Dominica? I am writing a master essay about Dominica and particularly the Carib Indians in the island. I spent a couple of months in the island in 2000 with my two children (now I have three), but I am planning to get back there soon.
We stayed on the east coast, close to Marigot and the Carib Territory.
And yes, it is a fantastic and very beautiful island!

Peace and blessings.
I forgot to mention you can also write to the Parish in Dominica for data on the specific Grant you seek. If he is not amongst the living then getting the information will be easy. They usually charge a fee for researching, mailing record back to you.
It took many years for me to research my family tree, do the detective work that was needed to find specific individuals.
Its not easy, but every breakthrough in finding an individual or family group of ancestors brings a specific pride in the work one has done.
If you choose to do the work yourself have your son help you.
Two heads are always better than one.
There will be frustrations along the way, but that's part of the work.
One more thing, pray to the spirits of youre ancestors, if they are ready to let you find them, then the work will be that much easier for you.
Ayes.
I can direct you to a public site where you might do preliminary research on your own.
Ancestry.com
Ayes
The Indigenous people of Dominica are the Kalinago,
Also known as the Karifuna and Carib.
Columbus landed there in 1493 and was met with very stiff resistance.
Here is a URL link for you to research.

It's not just a simple matter of looking up one person.
The project would involve researching and composing a whole family tree from the present to the earliest ancestor.
I think we must not discuss business within this forum.
