My grandfather came from the Island of Barbados with his mother, brothers, and sisters to Tobago in about 1890. They established themselves in their new home, but no one alive today seems to be able to make any connection with our Barbados relatives, which for a very long time had been my desire. My father had told me some stories that I wanted to share with some of my relatives and began to do so as attachments to e-mails. Those relatives enjoyed them and kept asking me for more. I included some stories of my own that I recalled from growing up in Tobago. This book is a compilation of fifty stories about my family that I want to share with you. I hope that you, too, would enjoy them. Some of the conversations in some of the stories were written in dialect to retain a Caribbean flavor. Caribbean readers should have no problem following what was said, but for those who are unfamiliar with the way the ordinary island person speaks, I have included a key at the end of the book to help you understand what was being said.
