Good evening I am currently researching my family history Sprauve and saw that the spelling wasn't listed as part of the Virgin Island's families albeit there a huge branch of Sprauve' in the US and British Virgin Islands. I did note the spelling of the Sprouws or Spouse and I was wondering if that could be my family. When I follow those spellings they are linked to habitat ants of Virgin Gorda where there's a huge history of Sprauves. I'm seeking your assistance in proving some information that may lead to the dots being connected and back to St Eustatius or even further back to the origin of my families name.

Hello! In the early 1980's I visited the "Island Fancy" estate on St, John, located above Maho Bay. At the home I saw numerous photos of the Tilley family who had or visited there.

My research is upon families: Thomas, Kingston, also Edwards. Charles Thomas and Sarah Kingston (my great-grand parents) immigrated to Puerto Rico, probably between 1875 and 1885. They came from Antigua, but who knows if they lived or had families in some other places in Virgin Island. If someone has any information would be appreciated. Write directly through my email address.

I have been looking at your entries for my Phelan, Doute and Carden ancestors. When you were compiling your raw information, did you make copies of source materials, like the "Christiansted Catholic Church, Church Book, 1780-1841, ff. 69, 131" cited as the source for the marriage of Henry Carden and Maria Louisa Doute? If so, does that source contain the names of the parents of the groom? I would love to know that. Also, the same question for the marriage of Anthony Phelan and Louisa Carden - cited to "RA, VILA, Inberetninger fra Menigheder, Christiansted Catholic Church, 1 March 1843." This is a great website and you have expanded my knowledge by about three generations. Thank you. Bill

My Great GrandFather was a Danish Soldier in St Croix and his name was Hans Hansen. I do not see any info on him i your family listings. He and Amelia Vogelsang ( whom I don;t see listed either had one son Hans Persiwal Hansen in Nov 1894. Then in Dec 1898 my Great Grandfather married Jane Amelia Finnigan and had three children ellen, Anna and Herman the first part of 1900. They are listed in the 1901, 1920 and 1930 census. They lived at the company quarters of Richmond Prison and Insane Asylum. How can I find more info on Amelia Vogelsang and also more info on the Richmond Prison. I went to St Croix in 2007 and walked through the remains of the prison but couldn't find anyone to give me info.Even went to the library in St Thomas.

In the 1730's someone writes in his journal that Brother Carstens wanted to translate the bible into the creole language, and probably Virgin Islands Dutch Creole is meant. I am working on a Ph.D.-project in which I use eighteenth century material to search for the earliest stages of that language. Demographic material and Dutch dialects spoken in the Caribean in those days are more than helpful! This site is very helpful! I would like to get in contact!
