About The Mears Jamaican Family
The purpose and focus of the website is to preserve for some and introduce too others the rich legacy we have as a family! In fact, our family has grown well beyond Jamaica, and the Parish of St. Ann. We’ve moved beyond the streets of Watt Town, Browns Town and Kingston, and the bush of Gibraltar, Winchester, Garry Hill, Somerton and other places most of you never knew existed.
Yet, these are the places in Jamaica were where our ancestors tilled their fields and harvested their crops for market, had their babies and died thinking about what would become of their children in the future! WE ARE THE MEARS EXTENDED FAMILY LEGACY; WE ARE THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN! Please join us as we share in the PAST, explore our family ties in the PRESENT and seek to strengthen our family ties for the FUTURE!
As my late cousin Sidney Clarke, the son of Helen Mears, said many years ago: “We (the Mears and extended Mears family) are “ONE BLOOD”, flowing from many streams!"
