I found a date for some profiles during Friday Date Night!
D (Grosvenor) Anonymous Participated in the 2023 US Black Heritage Project Connecting Challenge.
I’m an amateur researcher of the West Indian contribution to WW1, spending 4 years researching, collating and collecting stories as a volunteer for the Imperial War Museum FWW centenary project. I contributed to the majority of the 16523 entries for the search term ‘West Indies’ and created most of the 187 communities of related records for aspects such as memorials, battalions, war diaries, enlisted in UK, USA, killed on the Western Front, commemorated in the Mediterranean, commemorated in Africa, military award recipients.
The IWM database is now read only and can no longer be updated, so I tried to create collections that could be useful to other researchers no matter from which angle they approached the topic and to make sure the West Indian contribution is more widely known.
The most important community I created was for men from mainly Jamaica who had been overlooked by the authorities and did not have a Commonwealth War Grave Commission commemoration, but I found evidence that seemed to prove that they should. Once the IWM volunteer project finished in 2019 I started to submit the evidence to CWGC and now have a long list of approvals waiting for discovery of burial locations and appropriate commemoration.
Can you help me to find them, and their families?
I'm also creating cemetery and WW1 war memorial categories for Barbados and Jamaica

GG Claudie married my GG George E. Fricker and they went around the world as a bandmaster; Uncle Frank was born in Jamaica and then they took off from the WI. My grandma was born in Rangoon with Millie. Thanks for all your help, our family tree is connecting so fast that I can't keep up with it.
I haven't as yet found out what Plantation my GGG Grandfather Henry Carige managed in Grenada, his wife Mary (nee Gaskin) is listed as having slaves in Barbados. I do know when the bottom fell out of the sugar market and having slaves was abolished they move to New Jersey taking 3 black servants with them. Kind regards Lorraine

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
