Records History On the 15 November, 1865 Grenada created an Act for registering Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials. It was created to ensure a complete Register of Births, Deaths, Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials of all the people on the Island. It became the responsibility of the Registrar-General and District Registrars for the parishes, to once every year, make a duplicate and general abstract from the Register books, of the number of births, deaths, baptisms, marriages, and burials registered during the year preceding and the Registrar-General would also, make and keep tabular alphabetical indexes from the schedules. It is also the Registrar-General role, at the public expense, to ensure a sufficient number of register-books, duplicates, necessary for each rector and curate of the district and ensure that they should be of durable materials. The rector or curate of every parish, and every other recognised minister of religion on the Island, shall make out and deliver to the Registrar-General a true return in duplicate certified by him of the number of baptisms, marriages, and burials in the register-book kept by him. Further any person who willfully destroyed or caused to be destroyed any register-book would be guilty of felony. Finally it is the the Registrar-General and District Registrars reasonability to allow searches to be made of any register, book, or certified returns in their respective keeping, and to give certified copies of any entry or entries in the same. What is in the Collection? There are currently very few entries indexed for Civil Registration created to provide name access to Grenada’s records. Those few that do exist are on the FamilySearch website only. Collection Contents Normally a Civil Registration Index would provide the easiest access to civil registration records. However this has yet to be created, a limited listing can be accessed via [Grenada Births and Baptisms, 1866-1891]. If you manage to find an entry in the index to obtain further information it is necessary to apply for either photocopy or certificate to the General Register Office. How Do I Search the Collection? To search this collection by name: Fill in the requested information in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about the ancestors in the list to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to look at several images and compare the information about the individuals listed in those images to your ancestors to make this determination. When searching: As you are searching it is helpful to know such information as your ancestor’s given name and surname, some identifying information such as residence and age, and family relationships. Remember that there may be more than one person in the records with the same name as your ancestor and that your ancestor may have used nicknames or different names at different times. What Do I Do Next? Unfortunately indexed entry in the online collection do not includes the Civil Registration volume number and page number where the event was registered, as well as the registration year/quarter. Many original volumes were microfilmed but these can only be viewed at FamilySearch Centers, affiliate libraries, or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Others must be ordered from the Grenada Family Records Centre at the Registrar General’s Division which is located on the ground floor of the Ministerial Complex, Botanical Gardens, St. George on Grenada. Their contact number is +1-473-440-2806. The Grenada Civil Registration microfilm collections listed in the FamilySearch Catalog include the following.
