and also does anyone know what the origin of the surname Garmo is?

Answer 1

Garmo is Spanish and goes back to the days that Spain colonized much of Africa and the Caribbean. Liberians are like the rest of West Africa...they came from years of being pushed from here to there by colonial Europeans. Many were sent to Liberia not only from the US under Monroe, but England also "repatriated" many of their former slaves from the Caribbean Indies after the abolition of slavery (kudos to William Wilberforce).
