My Mother's side of the family resides largely in New Jersey by way of Jamaica.  I love my Island folk and always enjoy spending time with them.  My grandmother's brothers and sisters along with their spouses and children are spread out along the East Coast from New Jersey to Florida.  My grandpa Seymore is from the Bahamas and his side of the family still reside there in the Islands.
