Bryan,
Thanks again for your time and efforts on my behalf. I see what you mean about the slave returns and as you say it must have been a relatively small estate. I am wary of trying the Jamaican archives to see if they have any record (scuse the pun!) for the Reckord family as I have tried them before and am aware of their reputation for tardiness.
I am trying to work my way backwards from my Gt Grandmother, but unfortunately cant seem to get any birth details for her. But I do think I'm taking great steps forward so patience i think is the keyword and I'll eventually get there. Got a feeling that Dad is looking down on me on this one (ha ha). Thanks again for all your help and I'll keep at it.
