*[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 most) also come from FamilySearch. The database "St Kitts & Nevis Baptisms 1716-1881" was added 9 July 2021 for Anglican parishes, source not otherwise stated, but probably not FamilySearch. 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).
