This list only attempts to indicate where the most common nationalities lived. If unable to locate an ancestor, try researching one of the islands with the same nationality as your ancestor. Other names an island has been known by is also included. The following information taken from A Historical Account of St. Thomas, W.I. , by John P. Knox, New York, Charles Scribner, published 1852. The West Indies had inter-colonial steamship routes which carried mail and passengers.
Passenger lists are available in some of the individual country archives.
To my knowledge, these lists were never filmed by the LDS Church. The ease at which someone could travel from island to island often causes much difficulty for genealogists. It is sometimes helpful when attempting to figure out where an ancestor went, to know common travel routes from the known location. Round trip was 9874 miles. 65 miles Round trip was 4062 miles.
