This is an amazing resources that’s led me to some great discoveries. A couple of the USVI links of interest to me link to an archive that’s just Cuban newspapers. I’ve tried to figure out where the link should go but I’ve had no luck. Can you check the links to early Stl Thomas papers?

The first 2 or 3 in the list are correct. I think the Cuban site has changed since I first included the VI papers. I will have to do further research. Sorry.

Thanks! I’ll check it out. I appreciate what you’ve done here. It a huge help. I’m trying to do research on my St. Thomas ancestors but I’m living in SE Asia, so need to work online. This resource is invaluable!
