I checked my Varlack family tree and found Euthony Smith. He is the son of James Smith and Elizabeth Varlack Smith. He was married to Rosalia Smith and the children listed are Freddie, Lorraine, Basil, Edmead and Berecia. Hope this helps. If you wish, I can put you in direct contact with your Smith family.

In my family tree, my greatgrandmother had a brother named Henry Anthony (Antiney) Creque who was born in 1870 on Anegada. Can we tie this in?

Who was Sidney Varlack related to?

Re: Francis Leslye Creque Potter

travellady7 — 2013-04-27 20:03:09Z

Do you show a sibling or a child by the name of George C. Creque?

Re: Francis Leslye Creque Potter

travellady7 — 2013-04-27 20:01:18Z

About a month ago, this name came up in my family tree. I had a great uncle whose daughter married an Osmond Potter which was Leslye's brother. Osmond married Mary George and they resided in New York. One of Mary's granddaughters is now running for a Counsel seat in the Bronx. My mom also told me that Leslye was the midwife that delivered her on Anegada, BVI. Hope this helps.

Re: POTTER

travellady7 — 2012-08-25 17:21:30Z

Yes, Henrietta was born there and her father was George Creque.

Hi Dolores,

Could you explain to me how John Faulkner that married Cassandra Gildersleeve is related to Norman, Rojas/Samuel? I am related to Norman, Rojas/Samuel and I need some clarity on the connection so that I may reflect this on my family tree. Much appreciated.

Hi Shawn, I am wondering if you gathered any further information on your Faulkner line. I am interested in that because it is the Faulkner line that I need to include in the Anegada Faulkner tree. I was able to reach them and discovered they are one and the same so I believe you will have the answers that I need. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Harris, could you give me your great-grandfather's year of birth or if you can his date of birth as well. Also, do you know if he ever sailed down to St. Lucia. Thre are some faulkners there and they are the children of a Sailor from the BVI.

Hi, Rosamund Creque is my Grandmother. I remember my Aunt, her eldest daughter, speaking about Uncle Morris. My Aunt visited the BVI many times.
My grandmother was married and had her family in Trinidad, WI.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2012-04-04 19:46:32Z

I am a George whose family moved to Anegada from Virgin Gorda and I am product of George on both my mother's side and my father's side. I am also related to Creque on my mother's side (unknown to me)and my greatgrandmother was a Wheatley. I believe I can best trace the Wheatley family or the one set of George family so if you are willing to share your ancestors names, I should be able to make the connection. I am pretty sure we are related. Hope to hear from you shortly or email anytime at myrn7@hotmail.com

Re: GEORGE - BVI

Jeriah9 — 2012-04-04 00:17:00Z

I've been reading some of what you all wrote, and I am also interested in tracing my George lineage as far back as possible. I am from the BVI born and raised... My family is from North Sound, George and Creque to be exact, but family members also include, Wheatley, etc. i also have family members all over the US, I've also heard about family members in the DR.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

travellady7 — 2012-03-25 20:38:13Z

I need to get this verified because I am showing that Charles Wheatley is the father of the Wheatley Clan from Anegada and his wife was Catherine Potter, not Varlack. Can someone please verify this.

My name is Devon Coward mothers name is Norma Joyce Smith-Coward and she was originally from Anegada she was born to a Ethony Smith originally from the B.V.I. and her mothers name was Rosalia Knight who is born and raised in Anegada my middle name is my grandmothers first name.. I never had the pleasure to learn about them as my mother passed when I was 8 and now that I am doing a family tree I am now clueless as to her side of my family I saw some previous posts about other Knight and Smith family members finding each other so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Wheatleynames

I was able to make contact with your family in New York. Your aunt Iris Faulkner's son Myron will be in touch with you if your email posted still works.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2012-01-19 19:09:38Z

Hi Omari, tell me who you are. Tell me your lineage. I am familiar with Auguste George. I believe he comes from William George of Anegada. William George sister was Henrietta Creque and she was my greatgrandmother but they were sister/brother from their mother side. He was a George and she was a Creque. I am still looking for the George for my father.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

omari_george — 2012-01-19 15:21:09Z

There are a lot of us (George) on facebook. There have been a couple of family reuions. One in the US and 2 in D.R. There are a lot of George's in the family that do speak spanish and have married and have different last names now. We have traced back to the british virgin islands Tortola and Anegada. An airport is named after one of us Captain Auguste George. Hope this helps.

Re: POTTER

rjoneill1 — 2012-01-16 17:40:01Z

I'm afraid thats all I have. It would appear that louis Creque and Bartha Potter lived on anegada in the 1860s. How about Henrietta and George?

Re: POTTER

travellady7 — 2012-01-16 16:41:20Z

My greatgrandmother was Henrietta Creque, born on Anegada. Her father was George Creque. Do you know if William Creque was related to them?

Re: GEORGE - BVI

copi28 — 2011-12-11 05:06:12Z

As far as Aunts and Uncles...I'll give you my grandfather's siblings. This is a big missing link.

Edna Callwood (formerly Edna George) sister of Thomas George
Inez O'neal (she may have been a george or nelson) sister of Thomas George
Alpheus George (brother of Thomas George)

If you have no link to any of these or to Alton George most llikely we may not be of the same "george" string. Feel free to email me at copi28@yahoo.com. It maybe easier to commnicate there.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2011-12-11 04:58:18Z

What about cousins, aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles.

My father is Calvin George
His father was Richard George - went to the DR
His father was James George - appears to have been born in VG

My mother has many many aunts and uncles that are george through her grandmother's side. One of her cousins is 102years old.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

copi28 — 2011-12-11 04:50:57Z

Im a George by my Mother's side:

Sasha George (born in New York)
Diomaris George - mother - born in Dominican Republic
Thomas George (maternal) grandfather questionable (could be born in St. Thomas or Dominican Republic)
Adela Nelson (maternal) great grandmother (could be born in the BVI) and Alton George (maternal great grandfather could be born in the BVI) that is all I know.

Im sorry I can't be much help. No one in my family seems to anything

How about you?

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2011-12-11 04:44:07Z

Where were you born? Please give me your father's name if he is the George and then keep going back as far as you can and give me locations if you can. You may be my mother's George. At least I can start there. I am in touch with those George relatives and they are basically from Macoris as well but there roots came from Anegada, British Virgin Islands.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

copi28 — 2011-12-11 04:37:36Z

I see, Its pretty unfortunate. In those times there was alot of moving..I guess because of work. What I can tell you is that grandfather "Thomas George" was born somewhere either in the US Virgin Islands or in Santo Domingo. Because most of my family speaks Spanish. Now thats a loop to throw in

Re: GEORGE - BVI

copi28 — 2011-12-11 04:35:04Z

Ugh you are gonna kill me...lol I think it could be Any sets of the Virgin Islands

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2011-12-11 04:25:15Z

I am not at all versed in my George family. I recently learned that my mother's grandmother had about 15 George brothers and sisters though she was a Creque. They were all my aunts and uncles because they were related to her. Also, I am a George from my father's side but I do not know them at all. I traced as far as Virgin Gorda and found that my ggrandfather was James George and that he was born on Virgin Gorda. I have not found any of his family so I really do not know my George family on my father's side. They went to Macoris and we are the one that have returned so I really do not know the George family.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2011-12-11 04:16:26Z

Alpheous and possibly Ivan George ring bells for me. Where was Alpheous from? I recently learned of that name in my family history.

Re: GEORGE - BVI

copi28 — 2011-12-11 01:10:52Z

Hello,

I have been trying to do a family tree for a long time and have been very unsuccessful in finding information.
My great grand parents Adela Nelson and Alton George married and had kids. I assume that they are from BVI, but I am not positive. From that marriage they had the following kids: Thomas George, Ivan George (deceased), Edna George (born in St Thomas married name change to Edna Callwood...died Sept 2011) Ines O'neal (was a george) and Alpheous George (died as well). If you any of this rings a bell please give me a shout at (copi28@yahoo.com). I gave up on ancestry since I was unsuccessful.

This is the Henry Creque that I have been speaking of. He has since passed. They live in McNamara area of Tortola. He is my father's first cousin through his mother Gertrude George. There are about 5 daughters now all residing on Tortola and the family owns the Creque store in Road Town. One son is alive still. Hope that helps.

Re: who was the first varlack that startered the varlack clan on anegada

travellady7 — 2011-10-02 14:46:05Z

Hi there, I am not sure who you were really referring your question to but I have seen this connection back in slavery days. Sprauve and Varlack were owners of slaves and they worked their plantation. I believe sprauve may have been the overseer and Varlack was a owner definitely. Check Ancestry.com for full details on this. Need the international version so you can get in to british documents.
anegada and tortola, virgin gorda, peter island. Lovango , etc.

Re: Francis Leslye Creque Potter

travellady7 — 2011-10-02 14:42:57Z

Hi there, my greatgrandmother was Henrietta Creque of Anegada. Her father was George Creque and her mother was Mary Ann Creque or George as her mother had children with George Creque and Josiah George. If you can share information on or connection to any of this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Search for ancestors from Anegada

travellady7 — 2011-10-02 14:18:02Z

yes, this is an old post but I just got it. I mentioned my cousins that live on Tortola. Their father was my father's first cousin. His name was Henry Creque. His mother was my great aunt Gertude George and Henry has a few girls and two boys (one now deceased). some of his daughters include alma Flax and Joan, Elaine, etc. Son is Freddy Creque. I am also related to the Creque family as my greatgrandmother was Henrietta Creque of Anegada and her father was a George Creque also of Anegada or Virgin Gorda. That's going a way back.

Re: Search for ancestors from Anegada

Re: GEORGE - BVI

travellady7 — 2011-10-02 14:07:50Z

I am trying very hard to make the connection. I recently learned that my mother's grandmother had George siblings and I have been able to trace them but I have still not been able to trace my father's George. I see that his grandfather came from Virgin Gorda and his name was James George but still no other family connection. Still searching.

Re: Varlack, George, Pete, Mitchell & Leopold

travellady7 — 2011-10-02 14:04:11Z

Hi Marcia, the George Varlack that you refer to must be a younger George than the one in this post request but I am wondering about something. Could you get me your George Varlack's parents name and if possible his grandparents names and where they were from. I am trying to clear up some discrepancies in the Varlack line. Also, I am looking for someone that was called Jimmy or James (his father was called Jimbo). Heard he went to the New York. Is George that person or does he know this person I am looking for? Please let me know....Thanks...Myrna

Re: Creque family

rjoneill1 — 2011-07-10 01:18:54Z

About 25 years ago i knocked on the door of the home of Henry Osborne Creque on the water in Tortola. I had just learned from my grandmother that her father William j Creque was born on Anegada. I mentioned that fact the the captain of the sailboat we had chartered and he pointed our the Creque home. I boldly intruded and was greeted by a stately and gracious gentlemen perhaps in his 70s. We discussed our possible connection. he was very kind. i also had the privelege of meeting his wife and daughter a strikingly beautiful young woman of around twenty. Could this have been your aunt? As I recall it one of his children was off at college and his daughter was about to to off as well. Suffice it to say we spent and evening with a group of local dignataries. As I recall Mr. Creque had a leadership position in the government in an area having to do with the islands utilities.

I have done research on William and his adventures. he left a book of victorian poetry chronicling his life and loves. Writes of leaving the island when he was but a boy and of his time aboard ship and the people he met. he sailed to england and around the horn to San francisco and then to Virginia City where the Comstock silver lode was booming. He met and married an austrian woman and had two children, one of them my grandmother ella. I really only write because of my fond memory of your grandfather, a man of great grace and dignity.

My great grandfather, William Joseph Creque was born on anegada in 1863 to Louis Creque and Bartha Potter. He left the Island when he was an young man (13-14) on a ship to england and ultimately sailed around the horn and went to the Silver mines in Virginia City California. He wrote a book of fascinating Victorian Poetry which can be found ib the Library of congress and the UC library.

What information do you have about the Sprauve's pertaining to/being connected with the Varlacks. I have always understood that our families were close if not connected someway, but never knew how.

Any information as far as dates and names would be incredibly beneficial. Thanks.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

Marcus' aunt Marjorie has Theodora mom as Constantia Varlack. I cannot confirm or deny.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

travellady7 — 2011-03-07 01:08:24Z

Yes the connection is correct. I do not regularly comm w/marcus but I did see a post a few weeks back that he was under the weather and hoped it was finished with.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

picturepuzzles — 2011-03-07 00:44:15Z

Any knowledge on the parents of Theodora, Elliott, William and the rest of the Wheatley's? That's what's missing. Marcus added all the siblings (except Theodora) but w/out a mother and/or father none of them are connected when the tree is viewed. They all just appeared with no history.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

picturepuzzles — 2011-03-07 00:34:21Z

O.K. so my great-grandmother's brother (Abraham Norman)married my great-grandfather's sister (Theodora Wheatley)I figured as much she needs to be connected to her siblings on Geni.
I'm worried about Marcus, haven't seen him on Geni nor fb. I called earlier and left him a message. Have you heard from him?

Re: Norman/Wheatley

travellady7 — 2011-03-06 21:58:52Z

Hey Darlene, I checked my grandfather's bc and his mother was Theodora Wheatley. Casimera's father was her brother. Check w/Marcus.

Re: Norman/Wheatley

travellady7 — 2011-03-05 15:13:58Z

I am not sure why Marcus does not have this but I have always known Casimera Wheatley and my grandfather Theofield Norman to be first cousins. My grandfather was a Norman and his mother was a Wheatley therefore Casimera Wheatley's father and his mother were brother and sister. I do not have much more than that. I will check my files.

Love,
Myrna

Hello Ladies:
Sounds like we need to get Linette on Geni, what do you think Myrna? Linette, like Myrna and I, you & I are third cousins. What's even more amazing is we both live in Houston (the world keeps getting smaller). I'm curious about Theodora Wheatley-Norman, maybe you can help me with this one Myrna. I always assumed she was a sibling of Elliot, Samuel, Thomas, Evana, Elizabeth & Margaret Wheatley. Where did she come from? Neither Marcus nor Iliana added her as a sibling. By the way Linette, please contact me at picturepuzzles@sbcglobal.net. I hope we can meet up soon.

Hi:

Antonio Hodge was grandma's first husband, but I would have to ask my mother what island he was from. I have a picture of grandma from I think the 30's, I'll see if I can scan and send.

My name is Linette Fielding Roach, and we are in Houston. My brother is Clay Anthony (Tony) Fielding and he is in High Point, NC.
