Civil Registration for Jamaica was mandated in 1878 though actual registration began in isolated districts as much as five years later. Each parish was assigned a letter by the Registrar General, omitting J. Parishes are subdivided into registration districts, which are relevant only to vital-record registrations and have no other civil or fiscal authority. Districts continue to be added as the population grows, so the earliest registrations may have occurred much later than 1878. | Civil Registration for Jamaica was mandated in 1878 though actual registration began in isolated districts as much as five years later.
