Washer Woman - Jamaica Genealogy Research Family History Family Tree

I had no clue where this story would take me, one never does when interviewing the elders. A genealogical tale could expose you to love, war, blessings and tragedy; the tale of the washer woman exposed me to all that and more.

Washerwoman: A woman who washes clothes and linens for a living.

I find researching Jamaican ancestry difficult, the RGD can never find any of the records I ask for.  I have talked to my dad about family history but some of the details he gives me are not accurate, they're just stories that have been passed down.

Fascinating story and it is so nice to hear the elders speak about their lives. Great work! I'm adding this to my blog titled Journey Into Our Caribbean Past.
