My paternal great grand parents were from Barbados. My great grandfather was James Holder and his wife's maiden name was Braithwaite. My paternal grandmother's name was Chalnicia Holder before she married David S. Carter III..... Just a little bit of what I know about my ancestry from Barbados 🇧🇧 😊
I’m so emotional right now, but very grateful to have stumbled across this video. It’s brought so many memories of my childhood in Monrovia. I attended 3rd & 5th grade at E. Jonathan Goodridge Elementary School on the Old Road, in Monrovia. I lived in Brewerville, where I went to high school at Ricks Institute. I have families in the Weeks, Reeves, etc., lineage. We’re all so connected. Awesome ❤😊
Awesome is an understatement! I was told that my family was originally from Barbados. To all those who made this historical insight possible, I say, as we say in Liberia, thank you yah. I am proudly the seventh child of Annette Goodridge. To Know one's origin is heart warming. Barbados, here I come.
Very refreshing!! This presentation is remarkably informative and insightful. Hopefully we will learn further details about the Greaves family's precise origin.
I’m African, born and raised in Africa for half of my childhood. My mom told us we were Liberians, but I never felt connected to Liberia in any way. I’ve always loved the Caribbean and never understood why. I took 3 different dna tests. Come to find out, I’m not Liberian at all. I’m Nigerian ( from my dad side, which I already knew about), Sierra Leonean, Ghanaian and Afro Caribbean. The particular Caribbean Islands that i’m from are Barbados, Aruba and Suriname. Bridgetown Barbados to be exact. I believe my ancestors were part of the Afro Caribbeans that went to Africa. It feels good to know my true ethnicity and being able to teach and educate my children on who they truly are. I will be coming home soon ❤
Mr best you looked like this man who was a retired police from Barbados an his name us Best also. Love the Idiom which Barbados is recorded to have the most, God bless you my people..✍🇧🇧🙏
Many thanks for this presentation. My maternal great grand mother came from Barbados. She was # 221 Adelaide Greaves on the manifest. I plan to visit Barbados with the next group soon.
As a Liberian, this is one reason why I strongly believe we must develop Liberia's tourism industry. Not only to we shared cultural ties with African Americans but also, the people of Barbados. Barbados is one of the smallest islands 🏝 in the Caribbean with population size of 281,200 while Liberia's stands at 5.2million. Barbados 🇧🇧 has no natural resources whiles Liberia sits on some of the largest Iron Ore, Gold, Diamonds, Tantalum, Bauxite, Uranium, Timber, Rubber, and holds 51 percent of the Gulf of Guinea Rain Forest, plus substantial offshore oil reserves. The reason why I listed Liberia's natural resource endowment is to let the people of Barbados know that since they shared this historic association with Liberia, they have the right to engage the Liberian government to consider partnering with the people of Barbados for economic partnerships. This could be a win win for both countries.
Thank you. This is a beautiful thing. I can't wait to see the ORAL HISTORY of this. My parents are from up d river but my father is from Caldwell and mother from Brewerville
Thanks so much, I was.taught about this in school in Barbados, even went school with some of the Goodridge family and plenty of the families last names on the ship the CORA, God, bless you my people and Iam coming. to see Croseville very soon... love you my people's 🇧🇧😪 Plenty Padmore's live in Dash valley St. George!, Barbados. No wonder why you all are so educated, Barbados had the best standard of education in the west indies, and your ancestors kept the trend, no wonder Arthur Barclay, was the first prime Minister the soil produced...
This is so interesting coming from the Caribbean, Trinidad, as there is a common thread. More specifically, my paternal grandmother was Bajan hence I cherish this information.
I am a Liberian, I had been planning to visit Barbados even before hearing about this connection. This will encourage me to to establish Business connections with the people of Barbados. Do Liberian need Visa to travel to Barbados?
You said that two Porte boys went to bassa, what were their names. We heard that the two Porte boys names were Samie, Daniel and Robert. They were the ones that went to bassa, Edina and New series, or kingsville.
I'm glad as a Liberian to hear this connection between Liberia🇱🇷 and Barbados 🇧🇧
Thanks you some much for the information. I am Liberian and some of my family members are from Barbados. Thank you for this wonderful history.

Hey! I am a Liberian with Bajan lineage! I plan to visit next June

Hello, do you have an email? I wanted to connect more with you on this regarding Murray and Goodridge.
Your grandfather is my grand father brother. So we are cousin from croziervile.
Goodridge is a pretty rare sir name in Barbados. You and I could be distant relatives.
Very refreshing!! This presentation is remarkably informative and insightful. Hopefully we will learn further details about the Greaves family's precise origin.

My mistake the monument was built in 1965 to celebrate the centenary in Crozierville.
Great information, hopefully I am over in Liberia later on this year.

We are family ooo, big family ❤ I am from the Porte family 🙏😅
I am a Liberian, I had been planning to visit Barbados even before hearing about this connection. This will encourage me to to establish Business connections with the people of Barbados.
Do Liberian need Visa to travel to Barbados?
More like the post transatlantic connection.. Liberia, Sierra Leone, USA, Canada(North Buxton), the Caribbean and Brazil..just to name a few.
My name is Josephus Dash Garley from liberia
My Great grand mother and Great grandfather are from Barbados 🇧🇧 I am trying to trace their families
We are family woo my God. Thanks for the beautiful information sharing. Stay blessed one loved am black and white peace.
Iam from Antigua and Barbuda. Is there any connection to Liberia?
You said that two Porte boys went to bassa, what were their names. We heard that the two Porte boys names were Samie, Daniel and Robert. They were the ones that went to bassa, Edina and New series, or kingsville.
Liberians pronounce the town’s name as “Kruzerville” not “Crowzerville.”
The history of Liberia did not start in Liberia most of us are from the land of Israel same as the people of Barbados too
Barbados is in the Caribbean, but what part of the world is " Burbados " ?
The Brathwaites wow, might be family.... This is so interesting
This was amazing!!!! Question tho.....Who is the Black man on the Back of the 1788 Barbados Penny ???? He wasnt a Slave, Who was He ?
They say it's an enslaved African however I have to question why this "slave" wearing a crown and moor earrings
