My Grandfather - David Samuels left Jamaica for America around 1920 ish. He had 2 sons, Edwin and Joseph my dad(whom he called Hugh).

He was a sailor and he settled in New York. Beyond that I no nothing else. I would love to hear from anyone who might have known him. I am sure I have loads of relatives across the waters.

Did you try posting in the Lost family and friends section and also tried using genetic testing though Ancestry or other venues?

If he was a sailor here, try perusing the US Navy records here. If he was African/black, et. al., your search might be very easy. Not sure if there are an Jamaican records on here. Maybe if he was a sailor back home or a country nearby, try searching those records if you have a world membership. Hope this helps.
