If your ancestor played an important part in a group or occupation, do a Place Search for [[Grenada Genealogy|Grenada]] in any [[England Biography|British]], [[Scotland Biography|Scottish]], [[Canada Biography|Canadian]], North American, and Latin American biography archives, since people of note may be recorded in these. Although Grenada has little to do with Latin America many historical groups have collected Caribbean information which can include biographical details from [[Grenada|Grenadian]] figures. Little work has been done on collections of biographies of African, Indian, or Portuguese descendant who have lived and died on Grenada's islands. | If your ancestor played an important part in a group or occupation, do a Place Search for [[Grenada Genealogy|Grenada]] in any [[England Biography|British]], [[Scotland Biography|Scottish]], [[Canada Biography|Canadian]], North American, and Latin American biography archives, since people of note may be recorded in these.
