Hello,
I am in need of a way to find out who was involved in Virgin Islands Government in the early 1970s. Specifically, the Governors and Lieutenant Governors, and who else would have served in the Lieutenant Governor's office. I don't know the titles/positions for anyone who would have worked for the Lt. Gov. so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Phone numbers of offices or people to call, websites that might list this information, etc.
Thank you in advance for your help!
1961 - 1969 Ralph M. Paiewonsky
1969 - 1969 Cyril Emanuel King
1969 - 1975 Melvin Herbert Evans (Repupublican)
1975 - 1978 Cyril Emanuel King (ICM)
1978 - 1987 Juan Francisco Luis (ICM)

Islander,
Thank you for that listing, and for the three sites as well! It looks like http://www.senate.gov.vi/ is exactly what I was looking for!
Any chance that this *somewhat* historical information I am looking for might also be accessible through a library or a public relations department?
I'm thinking that anyone involved in the government in the early to mid 1970s, would no longer be in office.....that's why the idea of a library or some other source of archived information might be better and faster?
Again, thank you for those sites!
You could try calling the main public library on St. Thomas. www.viphonebook.com
There may be a political science department at the University of the Virgin Islands. It has a website. Or try the history department. There will be scholars there who now about this.
FormerOhioGuy,
Thanks for the phone book link and the suggestions with the UVI -- I will definitely check into all of that, once things are back to normal down there after Frances. Hope she didn't do too much damage.
If anyone has any extra suggestions, ideas, etc. to add to Islander's and FormerOhioGuy's, I'd be happy to have them.
Thanks again!
The Library of Congress has nearly every publication printed in U.S. history. You might look at the online catalog. Some histories of the USVI might be in readable form.
