A Tree Without Roots: The Guide to Tracing African, Anglo and Asian Ancestry in the Caribbean
Paul Crooks (About this author)

There is nothing more fascinating than one’s own past. Knowledge of our ancestors fashions a more complete picture of who we are, and hints at what to expect of ourselves in years to come.

From a man who dedicated eleven years of his life to uncovering the saga of his African slave ancestors comes a guide for others to capitalize on his informed techniques and discover just what it means to be where one is from. Offering groundbreaking insights on how to delve into one’s past, this book is intended both for beginners and experienced researchers and provides inspiration to those who believe that their search may be hampered by having a mixed parentage or a history of migration through the ages. An instructive guide for British, Africans and Asians interested in finding more about their family connections with the Caribbean islands, it nevertheless offers techniques and approaches that can be applied to anyone researching their ancestors around the world.
