genealogy resources

The NHCS does not offer genealogical services, but NHCS Member Christine Eickelamann has been researching colonial records in the Caribbean for the past 20 years, and has produced a guide to pre-Emancipation genealogical research. You can request a copy of her guide from the Society by Email.

The Nevis Island Archives holds a number of Parish records, and some of our holdings have been digitised by our partners at Hamilton College.  Records not already digitised can be searched upon request, subject to a non-refundable research fee of US$40 for non-members. Some parish registers are held by the churches themselves. A researcher for the Anglican churches here in Nevis can be reached by Email. The National Archives in St Kitts has additional resources and can be reached by Email or phone +1 (869) 467-1208.
