REGISTERS AND LIST OF PROPRIETORS Before
1959 registration of voters took place at the Registrar
General's Office. However with the incorporation of the Parliamentary
Registration Department, this office became responsible for
voter registration. No major deposits came from this area until
1992 when many volumes of computer print outs were sent in.
The Archives
has in its possession registers of voters and proprietors dating
from 1869 - 1968. The earlier records were deposited by the Registrar
General's Office and the later ones 1960 - 68 by the Parliamentary
Registration Department. Commissioners from several Out Islands
also deposited Voter Registers for the 1950s and 1960s. These include
Abaco, Bimini, Cat Island, Andros and Inagua. Genealogists can find
interesting bits of information regarding name, address, date of
birth and occupation from these records.

Registration Department. |
