Nice pics. I love seeing those. My family came to Grenada as indentured servants too. A lot of people think Grenada didn’t get but thats not true.

According to records at the National Archives 944 Indians arrived in Grenada between 1854 and 1860. Check their research guide on Family History Sources for Indian Indentured Labour http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/rdleaflet.asp?sLeafletID=400
