-Grenada remained uncolonized for more than 100 years after discovery; the British attempts to settle the island were unsuccessful.  A French company, in 1650, purchased Grenada from England and established a small settlement.  The island continued under French rule until its capture by the British 100 years later.  It gained total independence in 1974.<ref name="profile">The Family History Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Family History Record Profile: West Indies,” Word document, private files of the FamilySearch Content Strategy Team, 1999.</ref>
