I've gone back to when Westmoreland was still considered to be St Elizabeth.

Who is your mom and ask her who owns the big house just over looking the golf course?

Shoot me an email,I lost the link to this site and just found it a few minutes ago. I have a lot of the Reid history .

My mom lives just down the road from the golf course by the hair shop and last time I was in JA some kind of car shop. My mom told me when I was younger that my grandfathers name was Martin Luther Reid, I do believe she has family Milli and a Faye.

Comments: Well all I can say is,nice to meet you my cousin. I was talking to Dionne today and he kinda clued me in as to where the link was. My mother gave me so much info when I was little sorry I could not remember everything. You're from Charlie Reid's bloodline,he was the brother of my great grandfather Albert Edward Reid (Uncle Dennis's father).

Comments: NonpareilReid & JoePublic,

I am a descendant of Martin Luther Reid. He is my maternal great grandfather. Information regarding his children is not fully accurate... he has few more children who were not listed. In particular, my grandmother whose name is Louise Reid of Mount Airy (however, I'm pretty sure that's not the name listed on her birth certificate). In addition, there is "Aunt Cynthia" and "Aunt Isa" were not listed.

Where are you guys living? How have you been able to reach back so far? I'd love to learn more as I am just beginning my genealogical quest.

I am researching McFarlane, Rattray family in St Ann, Jamaica.
I have some first hand information I got from my great grandmother (who died in 1961)about herself and her siblinlgs, she also told of her parents William & Eleanor (Wiggon/Wiggan) McFarlane, however she did not speak of her grandparents although her mother used to be a slave in her younger days. Her father William had a brother possibly John and maybe a sister, this is where I have drawn a blank. I did order a film of the parish records from LDS, but most of it was illegible, also a few other useful sites including: ellisisland. com
I see this is a new list, so sending good wishes for its growth.
