*[https://search.findmypast.co.uk/historical-records Findmypast: Search A-Z of record sets] (located as an option under the Search tab). [[Findmypast]] is a pay website. Use Search terms such as Caribbean, or individual island names such as Barbados, or Jamaica. Findmypast indicates that at least some of the Barbados records are sourced via the International Genealogical Index<ref>[https://blog.findmypast.co.uk/findmypast-friday-febraury-2629656939.html Findmypast Friday February 22nd 2019].</ref> (from [[FamilySearch]]), although the databases themselves do not give this information. Some of the Jamaica databases are stated to be created through the International Genealogical Index (FamilySearch) and it is possible that others (perhaps all) also come from FamilySearch. Depending where you live, these records will generally require what was previously called a findmypast World subscription, now called a Pro subscription, (however FamilySearch records are free on FamilySearch, see above).
