This is a very informative and thoughful 'thread' but should this POSTING not be placed in  GENERAL DISCUSSION?

Another thing, instead of  posting speculative  information could:

All yuh source out information when  allyuh find  it nah. That way we eh left guessing who is horne child and who  may have  heritage or not; Leh we get the ocular  proof  that those mentioned are connected.Fuh real

Charles Taylor   ex dictator of Liberia  is a trini through his father. We so many claims.

Taylor was born in Arthington, a city near Monrovia. His mother was a member of the Gola tribe. According to most reports his father was an Americo-Liberian, although other sources claim he was actually an Afro-Trinidadian immigrant

I agree alberta we need more proof for this thread.

ABSOLUTE Proof is going to be tough...as an example I once saw a tv interview with KRS1 sayin his father is from Trini (although he father was apparently wutless) but I have no way of proving that

As for Wilkpedia....anybody could go on dey and edit the existing info into any thing they want and it will stay there as facts, if nobody bother to re-edit....so we cyah even depend on dat

As ah was scrollin troo ah see somebody type Gabriel reece have trini roots?...de volleyball player?
