The Foundation provides assistance in three areas: education, the environment, and health and well-being. This is accomplished primarily through the provision of grants, tertiary scholarships, diaspora activities, the funding of two Professorial Chairs at The University of the West Indies, and the Annual Lecture Series. This year’s lecture is closely aligned with GraceKennedy’s commitment to environmental stewardship. GKF spearheaded discussions with public and private entities aimed at developing a long term, sustainable solution to reduce the pollution entering the Kingston Harbour. The “Clean Harbour Initiative” is the motivation behind the topic of this year’s lecture. -
Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code.
