💛 Preserving and Sharing Virgin Islands history
The Photographs
What's striking is that many of the photographs were taken by our great grandfather, Herman O. Creque or members of his immediate family, with some from other sources. All of them are 50 to 100 years old!
Herman O. Creque
At various times in Honorable Creque's life he was part of the Colonial Council, St. Thomas Militia, Chamber of Commerce, Home Guard, Fire Brigade and many other reception committees.
This allowed him unprecedented access to memorable moments in Virgin Islands history.
These are exclusive stories! Only a handful have ever been shared with the public before now. Each photograph has been researched thoroughly.
Where possible, I've included the dates, location and relevant newspaper clippings.
Love of Family History
Tracing our family's history has been my passion and I look forward to sharing my discoveries with you.
As a bonus, I'll also include actual Haunted House Stories and Treasure Tales that were shared by our ancestors. ☠️
