Note: If others wish to add records or extracts of records for either of the
three islands or any estate on the island, we will add buttons for these places
on the left. Additional Danish West Indies links can be found by clicking on the button at the
top.
Also for future projects, the following have started but not finished.
Perhaps with others help or financing these projects could eventually be
completed:
Translation of the early Iverson journals and documents that cover the
first twenty years or so of the colonies history. Includes the original land
grant descriptions to the first colonists and many other interesting tidbits.
Translation of Christian Martfelds Collection which includes six
hand-written manuscript volumes giving a history of the islands up to that
time (1760s). He gives a description and origin of the names of each of the
bays and islands around St. John & St. Thomas, a history and description of
each of the plantations, and detailed social history all different aspects of
the settlement, climate, horticulture, merchandizing, etc.
Perhaps eventually a translation of the Gamle Tropicana series or
Knox's history. One of the Gamle Tropicana volumes has already been translated
(the one on the Guineas coast).
