The late Eustace M. Shilstone was a recognized scholar of Jews in Barbados. His manuscript research notes "Records of Jews in Barbados and Other Family Records," is held at the [[Barbados Archives and Libraries|Library of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society]]. Pages 200 to 204, for example, identify early Jewish wills proved on the island. The collection was recently digitized through a U.S. Embassy grant. His superb work in transcribing, translating, and abstracting Jewish Synagogue monumental inscriptions is discussed in [[Barbados Cemeteries|Barbados Cemeteries]].

As with many other countries the records of birth, marriage and death of the Jews may be found in the records of other religions. The [https://familysearch.org/wiki/en/Barbados_Church_Records_%28FamilySearch_Historical_Records%29 Barbados Church Records] collection available in the FamilySearch Historical Records contains some births and deaths of the Jews. Birth records from 1830-1884 and death records from 1685-1886 are included.
 
Many of the available records of the Jews of Barbados have been added to the [[The Knowles Collection: Jews of The Caribbean|Knowles Collection: Jews of South America and the Caribbean]] database. More information on the Knowles Collection can be found at [http://knowlescollection.blogspot.com/ knowlescollection.blogspot.com],<br>
