Introducing one of our special contacts Heather Nielsen a genealogist living in Surrey, England. To learn more on Surrey, England please visit.http://www.heritagebritain.com/historic/County%20of%20Surrey.html

Heather has also been an excutive member of an International Sports Body for many years and retired in 2004. Ever since Heather contacted the research she has provided us with so much information that has been of great value to the project.

Heather has many genealogical databases and many collections of documents she has gathered throughout the years. She keeps us up to date on whatever she finds that might be of great help. She has filmed most of the Anguilla records with Martha Burrows from Toronto and transcribed them. (Some of them are in St. Kitts Archives). Heather also filmed the Methodist records in Sint Maarten and transcribed those.

Currently Heather is working on getting some documents & records transcribed which are held in the Dutch Archives in the Hague.

For anyone living in London please know that the Anguilla/St. Martin records are now held at the National Archives in Kew, London, but one would need to arrange to view them on the Archives computers in advance.

Heather on behalf of the research we would like to thank you so much for your support & wish you all the best with your genealogical research.
