The baptisms, for example, give the name of the infant; the date of, or age at, baptism; the names of parents; and, frequently, the names of grandparents. Death records identify the decedent by date and occupation, and occasionally by next of kin. Slaves or free blacks are usually so designated in all record categories. Owing to Belize's large Scottish influence, naming practices were influenced by the patronymic custom. In these cases women retained their maiden surnames throughout their lives, regardless of marital status. As the author points out, \"this is a blessing to genealogists, identifying women at a time and place in which many people died young, and quick remarriage was the rule.\" This fully indexed work identifies thousands of 18th- and early 19th-century inhabitants of Belize never before accessible to researchers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonia Bennett Murray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806354828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806354828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Genealogical Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.61d","brand":"Sonia Bennett Murray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44254739333375,"sku":"9780806354828","price":38.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9778e749-b1cb-465d-a3f2-15c3ea86bb20.jpg?v=1694614098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-parish-register-of-belize-sonia-bennett-murray-9780806354828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
