Mr. Randy Schoenberg,
Can you tell me if and how are the Alcindor's from Martinique and Trinidad connected via their family trees? My great-grandfather; Phillipe (Jabez) Alcindorwas born in Martinique and that he had Alcindor relatives migrate to other Caribbean islands, Trinidad, Haiti, Guadeloupe, etc.
Also, can you verify if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's grandfather or great-grandfather had relatives in Trinidad that had originally migrated from Martinique or another island?
Note: My great-grandfather and his siblings migrated from Martinique to Dominica in the early 1900s due to the Mt Pelee volcano erupting in Martinique in 1902; therefore, upon arrival to Dominica, the British government changed the "I" in Alcindor to an "e" (Alcendor)....this is why all of my relatives surname of Alcendor from my Great-Grandfather and his siblings that were born in Dominica are different from our other relatives born in Trinidad, Haiti, etc.
thank you
DeShawn Alcendor
