As my post on today's joint meeting (27 June 2026) may have missed the Chat, here it is again with more info:

Dr Ruddock (an MD, family historian and genealogy expert), living Boston, Mass., US, has a newsletter through which she sends subscribers various publications on specific aspects of Jamaican genealogy. Her introduction to Jamaican genealogical research is:

Vilma Ruddock, Jamaican Genealogy Research: A Practical Guide to the Best Resources for Tracing Your Ancestry, available as a Kindle or paperback version from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DRR31NG9?tag=aulinktagbk-22&geniuslink=true 

Website: Ruddock Books: www.ruddockbooks.com

Hope this information helps.
