    We thank you for following the lead of all on KZread who visit graves to mention the names of the departed. Lamont is doing it here in the states , and I’ve followed him from time to time. But, what sets you apart is the fact that you researched some of the deceased to bring their lives into focus. No one on KZread does this. You are a true history researcher. Many of those people buried at that church probably were old colonists with strong ties to England before Jamaica gained independence. We all support you, especially those of us abroad who may never be able to visit these sites in Jamaica. You bring history to life.🇯🇲🇺🇸

    Like to see the graves of old Jamaicans born in early 1900s and late 1800s, especially the ones who died lately because they live through all the times and saw everything that happened, its just intriguing.

    Last names were often based on profession/trade, or during slavery, the enslaved took the name of their enslaver. Paris and England have some of the most beautiful and elaborate old tombs.

    What I notice from these cemetary videos people who died those older times die from some medical conditions that people are not really affected by anymore. What are the factors for the change , wonder if 70 years time people will be dying from different health conditions. Food is what causing the change in all this i think
