Where is the best place to get information on jamacian birth records?

Question

Hello, im looking for a person born in jamaica around late 1950`s where should i be looking??? I only have a surname to go on so far :(

Answer 1

Sorry, not enough to have just a surname.  You have to be looking for a person, in order to even know if you found the "right" one.

Persons born in the late 1950s are not that old, and possibly still living.  I cannot answer for Jamaica privacy limits.. in the US, you would not be entitled to someone else's birth record without their consent.

You don't seem to be certain if the person is still there? I'd advise that your goal would be finding current info, and would be dependent on the circumstances.

Answer 2

Jamaica.

Only having a surname in a country where everyone's interrelated is like asking for someone named McCoy in the mountains of WV. There's literally not enough information to make sure that even if we find the last name then you can pick out which one is the one you're seeking. That means we'd be invading the privacy of a lot of unsuspecting people on the internet. Not too many people would appreciate that.
