    My mother was born and raised in Bermuda at Greenbank on Salt Kettle. Her mother was a Harriott and I know the Harriotts in Bermuda go back to the very early settlers of Bermuda. Can anyone there suggest how I might find information on the early Harriotts . I live in Massachusetts and have been to your very lovely island three times but unfortunately before I gained my interest in family genealogy. Thank you.

      @ David M. Williams There is information about the Harriott Family in Hallett’s Bermuda Index vol. 1, 1989. First entry is 1822, a Rebecca Dill Harriott, daughter of the late Capt. John Harriott, married Capt. Joseph Edward Godfrey of the brig Pegasus on Feb 21 in Devonshire. Two pages of entries up until 1913. There are a lot of Paget and Warwick entries. Any Library in Bermuda would allow access to these books, but you may be able to see if this volume is available on Amazon, or through an out-of-print vendor. Locally in Bermuda, Anthony Petit sells old books- Google his website.

    @David M. Williams: The Bermuda National Library holds copies of the reference resources compiled by the Halletts, as well as other resources that would be of assistance in your exploration of the Harriott family. Please contact me directly at ejhollis@gov.bm so that we may discuss your research options.

    To whom it may concern,

    I am interested in finding info regarding my very LARGE family on my father’s side. His father was named John Smith and his wife is Florence Richardson. My great grandfather is Percy Pearson and his wife was Beatrice Key/Kay (not too sure of the spelling). I would like to get records regarding birth/marriage/death for these relatives as I am compiling info for my family tree. Also, if they were ever in the newspaper for anything with pictures or some other forms of public documentation would there be any way of finding it within BNL’s website?

    Any help regarding this would greatly be appreciated!

    Regards,

    Tallent Clark

    Researching Joanne Bromley Williams b. 1930 Pennsylvania. She was living when her mother, Josephine Gosling died 27 Mar. 1974 Paget, Paget, Bermuda and when her step father, Bernard T. Gosling died Sept. 17, 1976. I don’t know if she is still living or if she married.

    Can you give me suggested on how to find information about this person?

    Is there a certified genealogist that can be recommended for this research if I can’t find anything?

    Hi
    I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather – Frederick Richard Gough born 1864 and lived in St John’s Newfoundland until (as the story is told) he was employed aboard a ship which took him to Bermuda. We believe he died in Bermuda. I have documentation that one of his sons, my Grandfather Frank Gough travelled to Bermuda in Jan 1923 and returned to Newfoundland in July of the same year. Any information or clues as to who I may contact for information would be most helpful.
