Hej ! I am glad that I found Your website and Your valuable research - thanks a lot !! Today I found a marriage from Franz Wilhelm Vogelsang in Flensburg with the daughter of St.Marien organ player C-F.F.Paulsen in Flensburg (Pauline Paulsen) - marriage was 29.7.1842 (St.Marien/Flensburg). He is described as son of Peter Vogelsang/St.Croix and Sarah Amalia b. Coopmann - just the couple that You have ! Franz Wilhelm Vogelsang is "Kaufmann zu Laguayra in Südamerika", so it would be La Guayra in Venezuela ... / Thanks again for information ! venlig hilsen, M.Lassen

28 August 2016 Dear Sir/ Madame, I am trying to track down one Rebecca Clark (wife of William Clark). They were recorded as living in the township of Frederikstedt, St Croix, DWI, in 1792/3. I don't know her maiden name, nationality or when and where they married. He was Scottish. I'd be most grateful for any assistance you can give me. Many thanks. Georgina Horton

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.

You have no records for the William Beatty/Alice Bescomb (Kent) Beatty families. Their children, Elizabeth, Anna, Harry, Mable, Francis, Elsa, Beatrice, Alice and 2 others who died Nixon and Sarah. Also, where are the Lawaetz family, the Teytauds, the Seaman's (my godfather was George Seaman). All these families raised their children on St Croix. How can there be no records of them on your site? My grandfather owned Constitution Hill plantation. I am confused.

This is awesome information. I did notice that there are no French names listed from the late 1800-early 1900 migrations from the French West Indies and France. Any chance these will come later?

I think I can add some information to the van Beverhoudt pages. I have found the wills of Anna and Peter Smith (Pierre Le Serrurier)from 1710 which mentions Engel van Beverhoudt and his widow Susannah Jansen who is sister to Anna Smith. [G.H.C. Numéro 66 : Décembre 1994 Page 1216] A connection between Susannah Jansen/Beverhoudt and Jean/Jan Rogiers/Rollier (who disappeared together about 1698) is mentioned in the will and also by Ryberg in his 'list of inhabitants of the Danish West Indian Islands'. Susanne van Beverhoudt was "a widow living alone with a few slaves on section 59" in the Saban Landowner's List of 1699. She is not on the list in 1705. Will Johnson mentions Engel van Beverhoudt: "Some of the first Vice Commanders were Dutchmen. One of them Engel van Beverhoudt (1687-1690)got killed by a falling stone while fishing on the rocks below the cliffs between Tent Bay and The Ladder. I believe there is a rock there called the Governors rock." Ryberg's records are from the Danish West Indies, so I'm ass

I am interested in any details relating the Řgaard family on St. Croix. My grandfather (or more precisely my grandmother's second husband) is a descendant of Carl Ludvig Teodor Řgaard (born 1833 in Christiansted) who emigrated to Sydney Australia in 1861. I have a scanned copy of his naturalisation certificate from 1869 if anyone is interested.

It looks like I´m related to the Uytendaele family; there is a reference in those records that: Gertruyd, Baronesse de Bretton, was married on 3 September 1788 in the St. Croix Dutch Reformed Church to John Ayres. It is not clear, or I haven't found it, but I think she is the daughter of Lucas van Uytendaele, baron de Bretton and Margrethe Gertrud Elisabeth von Moth; or is she not? She marries John Ayres (some spell it Aires) and He was the danish council in Lisbon, Portugal. They had children, I guess, and one of them was called Margarida Carolina Aires (?), she was born in Portugal; she married Elisiário José Malheiros and then this side of the family stayed in Portugal for the following generations. Am I correct? If so, I haven't found any references as to John's family. For what I've read, and since they got married in the Virgin Islands, I should assume he lived/was born there too.
