It is not uncommon to find monumental inscriptions and plaques in English churches memorializing family members who settled Barbados.

Heraldic visitations list some members of prominent English families who crossed the Atlantic. [http://www.pricegen.com/english_genealogy.html Expert Links: English Family History and Genealogy] includes a concise list of visitations available online. Search engines, such as [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ Access to Archives], can be keyword searched for place names, such as "Barbados" and "Barbadoes," to retrieve manuscripts stored in hundreds of English archives relating to persons and landholdings in this island in the West Indies. These records help establish links between Barbados residents and England, which can lead researchers back to their specific ancestral English towns, villages, and hamlets. | |||
