Anyone else researching Bermuda?
« on: Wednesday 08 November 06 19:57 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have any experience of research in Bermudian genealogy? I've traced some of my lot back to the early 19th century, but don't know how to go any further.

There's very little available on-line, despite Bermuda having (I am told) unusually well-preserved records for the West Indies, going back 4 centuries. There is a small number of published church records and the like, but living in Denmark, it's not something I can find in any library.
I haven't ordered any of the LDS microfilm yet.

I'd just like to hear if anyone has any success stories to tell - particularly if they were able to do research without having to travel to Bermuda. It's a bit expensive, and though I'd love to go there one day, it would seem crazy to visit such a place and sit indoors in an archive all day.

There doesn't seem to be any professional genealogists in Bermuda that are offering their services.

Hello David,
