Thanks so much for taking the hours to put such a beautiful display together and for sharing. I’ve just started working on my family genealogy and have uncovered wonderful facts that date back to the late 1700’s. Your work has inspired me to place my new found treasures in print. Thanks again.

Thanks for posting some of the pics. I tried to visit the site a couple of days ago, and for some reason, couldn’t manuver through it. I will try again!

OMG!!! I ammmmm soooooo jealous and sooo absolutely happy for you! You did you ever think that you would uncover all of these treasures when you began this hunt in 1997? I could only dream of finding pics like these, so I will just live out my dreams through your discoveries:-x

Great photos and a fitting tribute.
Although he wasn’t a citizen yet, my maternal grandfather Rigaude Placide Prout served in the US Navy on a transport ship the USS Mongolia during WWI. They went to Brest, France. I have his diary, lettrs he received from his father in Barbados & photos. One is of him with several other un-named “colored” soldiers & sailors.
