Tour of the Basics - an animated video from the University of Utah including topics such as what is ...DNA? a gene? a chromosome? a protein? heredity? and a trait? - http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/tour/

DNA from the Beginning from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory - this is an excellent indepth discussion of DNA and how it controls everything that goes on within our bodies. There are animations and videos that cover 41 separate topics. This is really only for those who want a deeper understanding of DNA and how it works. Of particular relevance to genealogy, the animation in item 11 presents a discussion of genetic inheritance including an explanation of crossing over (recombination). The item 8 animation covers meiosis and the formation of sex cells (sperm and eggs).

Animation of meoisis showing replication, recombination (crossing over), random selection (independent assortment), and cell division to produce 4 sex cells from 1 progenitor cell - http://www.abpischools.org.uk/page/modules/genome/dna4.cfm?coSiteNavigation_allTopic=1

Excellent pages on researching Caribbean history
Great place for queries and a resource center to identify other on-line databases
Pool resources with other genealogists searching the same surnames as you
Excellent website for Jamaican records, transcribed by researchers
Another good starting place for Caribbean family history


  • One place to start is the Caribbean Surnames List at www.candoo.com/surnames/index. This is an index to West Indian families being researched and includes the country of interest.
  • Search telephone directories to find islands with greatest coverage of that family name. Many residential telephone directories (white pages) are online, for example at www.infobel.com/teldir. You still need to search country by country.
  • Post a message on the Caribbean GenWeb Project mailing list at sites.rootsweb.com/~caribgw/mailinglist or to the newsgroup soc.genealogy.west-indies.
    • Researching your Caribbean family history
    •  - an article by Kate Carter (from 2007) that discusses how to start, where some of the main records are for people who migrated from the caribbean to the UK, and some useful discussion about DNA.
    • Tracing Caribbean Roots
    •  from the UK - some useful hints, tips, and links on the MovingHere website. There are also some useful links to sources for Caribbean records.
    • Rootstech 2013 videos
    •  - Rootstech is an annual conference run by FamilySearch that covers many aspects of genealogical research for the beginner and the advanced genealogist. These are videos of each of the sessions.
    • A clip from the programme Who Do You Think You Are featuring celebrity chef Ainsley Herriot and how he started his search into his family's history in Jamaica.
