"Granny Said St. George's, Not St. George" — 10 Surnames That Mean Your Family Was Grenadian

👉 THE SURNAME PAPERS — find the island behind the saint in your family's story: https://theafricangenome.com 👈 Five Caribbean capitals stand inside a place called St George. Port of Spain is one of them. Only one ever added the apostrophe. Trinidad borrowed the same saints Grenada used for its parishes, and so did Tobago, St Vincent and Dominica. So when Granny said St Patrick's or St David's, the saint alone never told you which island she meant. One small sound did. A family that says its land sits under a yacht club today. A surname that is a saint all by itself. And one name with an apostrophe hiding inside it that explains the whole habit. How did the oldest person in your family say it, with the s or without it? Comments: your surname, the saint exactly the way your elder says it, and one more place they always mention with it. 📖 Help keep these videos coming: https://theafricangenome.com Subscribe to The African Genome. #Trinidad #Grenada #StGeorges #TrinidadAndTobago #Grenadian #Tobago #StVincent #Dominica #CaribbeanHistory #Surnames #FamilyHistory #Genealogy
