Haiti/Dominican Republic research?
« on: Wednesday 30 December 15 00:15 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know how to research archives for Santo Domingo? I have Marie Josephine Villeneuve, born about 1800 in Santo Domingo. She married Francis Smith (from England) and had their first child in England in 1819. They then moved to Tasmania in 1826.

Does anyone have some ideas for me to trace her further. I can't find anything there, so I don't have her birth or marriage records.

Thank you!

There are records of the Dominican Repuplic.

There is an excellent Public Family Tree for her on ancestry.com if you have access or can get access to ancestry. Seems very well researched.
