April 29, 2015. Times of My Life – Family Background III. O far, we have covered. The first three generations of my Jamaican-Scot line of the Campbell family. In this instalment, we’ll pick up the story by taking a look at my paternal grandfather and his family. Before we continue, however, I’d like to illustrate how inter-connected some Jamaican families are. With that, I’ll get on with my story.

Cycroft Omnibus: Jamaican History and Culture – Plantocracy, Part II
http://www.cycroft.net/2015/06/jamaican-history-and-culture_9.html
June 9, 2015. Jamaican History and Culture – Plantocracy, Part II. His has been one of the most difficult.

Consequently, I hope I have placed my exploration of the institution of slavery as it was practiced in Jamaica in its proper historical and social contexts. In wading through r...
