Rodrigues/Rodriguez in Trinidad

Izatrini4eva — 2012-08-29 18:16:04Z

Hello,
I am trying to research our ancestry in Trinidad from here in the USA which is proving to be complicated. I know that my great grandmother's name was Evangeline Rodrigues(z?) and she married Nasif Abraham who was one of the first Syrians to go to Trinidad. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Monique

Gomez/Gomes

looking for Philomenia Gomez/Gomes. She is related to the Camacho family,(could be her mother's maiden name), but not sure how. She married John DeVeux. Their son was born about 1909, supposedly in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Can't find his birth record. The son was supposedly orphaned and raised for a time by his relatives in the British West Indies (Gomez/Gomes and or Camacho families)probably sometime after 1923. He later came back to the United States. Hoping to find a record of the son, John DeVeux in Antigua, British West Indies. Thank you.

Would you like to check where a placename was located or where it was near? The most important piece of information needed to trace ancestors is a place name (village of origin, birth or last residence.) This online, digitized Map from The New World Atlas and Gazetteer 1922 Edition may help your genealogical endeavors with place name identification strategies.
