Families on these pages share common ancestry from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (formerly the Danish West Indies).  The Marshall family line originates in Barbados.  Other lines hail from elsewhere in the Caribbean, or in England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Denmark, other European and African nations.

This site is a result of extensive research using the St. Croix Population Database from the 
St. Croix African Roots Project a research effort sponsored by the Virgin Islands Social 
History Associates (VISHA).  Heartfelt thanks go to my cousins, extended "cousin-family", friends and 
research colleagues from the St. Croix-based Virgin Islands Ancestry Discovery Group for their input 
and collaboration.  I am especially grateful to George Tyson, Svend Holsoe, Camilla Jensen, Carol
Wakefield, Ronnie Phillips, Josephine Hector and Edwin Thomas, without whom I would not have made
the astounding discovery of our venerable ancestor Takky of the Ga people in what is modern Ghana.
