Jean Houzeau in Jamaica
This was the first site I published. It deals
with a Belgian astronomer who made Jamaica his home from 1868-76.
|
|
First Flight ... Jamaica 1911
Another early site, dealing with the first flights
in Jamaica. I need to add new material to this site.
|
|
Father Raphael
This is another early site, now renovated and
moved to a new address. I would really like to find out more about Father Raphael; what happened to him after his visit
to his home in Jamaica? Was he really an Orthodox priest?

The Jamaica/British Museum Connection
Sir Hans Sloane and Sir Edward Maunde Thompson
are interesting men who form a significant link between Jamaica and the British Museum.
NB - this site will really only work properly
on Internet Explorer

Jamaica's Classical Musicians
I started this site 3 years ago when I realised
that I could not find a site which brought together information on Jamaica's remarkable classical musicians.

Jamaican History February 2004
This site was set up for Black history month in
2004, but it deals with individual Jamaicans of various ethnicities who should be better known. The site for February 2005
did not get off the ground, but there is a link to what did get done.

Jamaica's Hurricane History
I started the hurricane site during and after
Ivan in 2004. This site will continue to grow as I do more research backwards in time, and as we move forward into future
hurricane seasons, some as extraordinary as that of 2005.

A site which provides an insight into the incredible merry-go-round craze of the 1890s

Christmas 2006
The site I started for Christmas 2004 has kept
on growing as I have added more descriptions of 'Christmas Past' in Jamaica. The site has now become Christmas 2006 at its
new location!
I hope you enjoy the updated and upgraded site!

Belisario's People
There is still much work to be done on this site
- maybe Christmas will provide inspiration to get it finished! All the famous pictures are on the site and some commentary.
This site works best on IE.

Sylvester Leon -actor and dialect performer
A site about a fascinating Jamaican, who may well
have been the first to perform in Jamaican dialect on stage and radio in England. The site is more or less complete,
except for one section still missing.
