Keep encouraging your dad to write a book. He's an excellent historian. I hung on to his every word in this presentation. 👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That's the plan! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
LOVE this historian. Has he written a book as yet? I can see a series for children!!!!
I’m trying to convince him to write a book but he hasn’t budged as yet lol
Please Edwin, write, write, write.
My grandfather never educated me on being Grenadian, so.I appreciate your father's contribution to keeping the richness of Grenadian history alive. Thank you Mr. Frank.
You’re most welcome.
Your dad is a national treasure. I've learned so much in this video. Thank you both for sharing this wealth of knowledge.🤗
He really is! I am always in awe of just how much he knows about Grenada. You’re most welcome!

Glad it was helpful! You're most welcome!

Awesome! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
Happy independence day my country
Thanks and same to you!
I love history love to listen to other caribbean countries history as well as my country viewing from jamaica
That’s great! There’s so much to be gained from knowing and understanding our history.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE FROM T&T. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU
Thank you so much!!
Oh! HAPPY BELATED 48TH INDEPENDANCE DAY! YOUR DAD IS BRILLANT, A GREAT EDUCATOR. THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE GREAT CONTENTS.
Thank you 😊 yes my dad is really a walking history book! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Edwin we need this information to be documented in our history. Bravo.
Indeed!!
You're always doing a superb job Nezzle. Your Father is very knowledgeable.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed! Yes he is!
My wife and I are planing to retire in your beautiful Grenada in about two years, when she finally retires. Nevertheless, we are planing to go for a few weeks either in May or September 2022, Covid restrictions allowing. We will do our best to contact Mr. Frank and benefit from his amazing knowledge, not to mention that we want to leave behind the Canadian winters. Hope to meet you there and learn more about our future home. Greetings from Toronto.
Lovely! That sounds good. Yes, you should definitely reach out to my dad for a tour and I’d be pleased to meet you both when you visit God’s willing.
Thank you for making my suggestion into reality. Mr Frank thank you what a wealth of knowledge.
You’re most welcome 😊 I hope you enjoyed it to the fullest!
I am extremely impressed, and grateful, with your knowledge of your history of Grenada. I hope your narrative is memorialized. We certainly were never taught our own history at high school. In fact the Government will be remised if this history isn’t compulsorily taught at school today.
My Caribbean education is so incomplete without the knowledge of our history. I wonder if there is a comprehensive history of the British West Indies. UWI would have failed us if there is not compendium. I congratulate you.
I definitely agree that it should be taught and this information should be available. However, some of it is available in books but unfortunately another issue is that many people don’t read. So the information remains in the books, unread.
Good narration by this speaker. I am not from your country, but know some of its natives. One of them the best friend i ever had joining another form Jamaica. They stand as two of the greatest human beings in my estimation. Eddie and Ken. Thank you Sir for your wonderful knowledge of this golden island. Long may you and your family and of course the the spice island endure. 👏👏👏🤝👍
Thank you 😊 you’re most welcome on his behalf. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow, your Dad is a walking history book. Encourage him to document his knowledge. Very interesting indeed.
He really is! I’m trying to get him to do so. At least it’s being documented in this way for now.
Colour ful history for sure and a lot of name changes.your father put it across so proffesionally.very interesting history.hope you all enjoyed your independence day.grenada to the world
Thanks! Yes we enjoyed the day. I’m glad you appreciated the history.
Thank you Mr Frank for sharing your knowledge. Happy Independence Day.
You’re welcome on his behalf. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. This was like a fast-track college course.
Lol you’re welcome
Thank u very much sir I Learned a lot from listening to your wonderful history of our Grenada 🇬🇩.
That’s great! I’m glad you found it educational.
Happy Independance Day Grenada! Very well presented and delivered information. Thank you sir.
Thank you kindly! Glad you enjoyed it!
A beautiful narrative of Grenada's history. I hope this information is documented somewhere so that it can be passed along.
Well this is one way of documenting it but fingers crossed for something more in the not too distant future.
Thanks sir for this very important History of Grenada.
You’re most welcome, on his behalf.
April 2023 - We had an amazing day tour with Edwin, such a wealth of knowledge, injected with humour and passion. Glad to have been able to meet him. Matthew and Rita xx
That's so wonderful! I love hearing from persons who meet and interact with my dad. I'm happy you both had a wonderful time touring with him.
@@Nezzle as we drove out of the Coyaba he even pointed out a vehicle with a picture of you emblazoned on it!! 🥰
😄 yes, I’m still getting used to seeing myself there lol
Great history of our nation that's amazing happy birthday Grenada ❤️
Thank you, glad you found it informative.
Eddie! It was always a pleasure working with you at GBT.
I’m sure the feeling was mutual 😊
Wow! Mr Frank you are an absolute legend with your historical knowledge of Grenada. I’m not from Grenada but I’m a fellow islander with a keen interest of the history of the region. Thank you Sir .
You’re most welcome, on his behalf. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and learnt a lot from it.
Very informative. Wished you could have told about the lives of the emancipated thousands of Grenadians. They disappeared from the story except that the wouldn't work for former masters. Enjoyed it.
There’s so much to tell that it was difficult to put it all into one video but there will be more of these coming soon God’s willing.
Thank you 👍🏾 This information was so helpful and thoughtful! Your father is truly the nation’s living historian! My husband and I are moving to Carriacou soon (sometime in this year) and knowing this wealth of info adds to our appreciation of the country we’ve decided to call home. It would be our greatest pleasure to meet your dad in person. Job well done! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! That’s nice that you’ve chosen to move to Carriacou. I’m sure he’d be pleased to meet you both as well.
Thank you for capturing this wealth of knowledge in digital. I will share in Grenadians in Canada on face book. Continued Success.
Wonderful! Thank you, we appreciate that!
We have a town called Port Royal, it is located very close to the capital Kinston. It is not far from the Norman Manley Intl airport. A section of the town was submerged when sections of the capital were destroyed by an earthquake in 1907.
Interesting!
Big up your self frank
Very informative.
Very educational.
Nezzle i love what you're doing.
Keep it coming ❤️💚💛
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Nezzle patiently awaiting another episode
Wow!! Priceless, invaluable source of information. Your dad is a scholar.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative.
Jus lov the way ur Dad take his time to explain he's really an amazing person🥰🙏
He really is!!!
Thank you and your dad for sharing his encyclopedic knowledge of our island. Our history was withheld from us and I am truly grateful to your dad for sharing. If I may suggest he do a podcast, i would be happy to pay to subscribe. I remembered listening to Mr. frank on the radio when in was a boy, so happy to see him doing well.
Aww thank you for your kind words. I'm sure he would love to read this. I don't think he currently has the time available to devote to a podcast unfortunately but I'll try to see when I can get him back on the channel again, hopefully soon.
Nezzle you dad really study for this history, good job
He actually has all of this information in his head. I don’t know how he remembers it all, but he does.
Not boring at all. Wow, how informative this was. Mother born there in the 30s moved to teinidad. I been there 3 times and was totally ignorant of the history. Thank u for the enlighteningment.
You're most welcome. I'm glad you were able to learn from it and that you found it interesting. Thanks for watching!
Great Job guys!!✌
Thank you!
Your dad knows it al thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Thank you
You’re welcome
We love this type of video... enlightening. Congratulations
Awesome! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Happy Independence Day to all Grenadians. 48 and counting. Stay blessed beautiful island
Thanks much and same to you!!!
HELLO.Nezzle.im so Greatfull to your dad for shareing this important information.i hope he will come back and share many more. Praying that our goverment realize that our children need to no there history in and out of school.and Adults.parents.we need to make our children no from where we come. so soo proud of our SPICE ISLAND GRENADA. Great Vlog NEZZLE.
This is so true. We need to have these things taught in schools so that children can know their history. It’s important to know where you’ve come from. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I would like to thank you and your father for this vlog, I am Grenadian and I never knew any of this, your father should be made the education minister of Grenada, so that Grenadian people could learn their history, because if you don’t know where you are from, you will not be able to plan where you are going.
I think that many of us don’t know a lot of our history unfortunately. I will try to have him back on the channel more often hopefully.
We had a Cholera outbreak here in Jamaica as well., in 1851. Approximately 40,000 persons died as a result of the outbreak. The figure represented 10 per cent of the population at that time.
Yes I believe my dad mentioned that as well
Your Dad is amazing. Another great history lesson. There was so much I did't know. I wonder if that's the reason some people even now, say Granada instead of Grenada. Use to get on my nerves 😁. Granada being in Spain. Really enjoyed this.
Yeah I still have to correct people about that sometimes but it does make sense. Glad you enjoyed the history lesson!
Dad gave great history lesson which I shared, can’t wait for the next one.
Lovely!! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Can’t get enough of your dad’s history of our beautiful island. He truly is a walking and talking encyclopedia. Amazing.
He really is!! He never ceases to amaze me! He literally just sat down and did it all in one take.
Bring him on some more.
@@jillian3864 I’ll do my best!
@@Nezzle 👍🏾
Hello Nezzle, Happy New Year. Your dad did a very great job. Also, you continue to provide us with great content. Thank you.

Hi Maynard, it’s nice to see you in the comments. It’s been awhile. Happy new year to you too. I’m glad you continue to enjoy the videos.
Happy Independence day Salute to the people of Grenada Good People beautiful Island
Thanks much and same to you!
Your dad is literally a history book. Wow
He really is. I don’t know how he remembers all of these facts.
Happy Independence Day Grenada
Thank you!!!
Your dad is so wise! Thanks for sharing!
Very! You’re welcome 😊
It's so important to know our history as Caribbean ppl.
I agree. That’s so important!!
Both my parents were from Grenada. They were the Cromwells and Pierres. It would be informative to study how the different family names came about. Pierre is French while I would think Cromwell is English. Great history lesson
I think it has to do with the estates but yes that’s something I can hopefully get my dad to speak on in the future.
I enjoyed watching and listening to your dad. He is an eloquent speaker. Has he considered writing a book.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. He’s thought about it but time hasn’t been available.
Your Dad is really a Treasure
He sure is!
What a fountain of information.
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful.
this was so wonderful! I could listen to him speak all day. what a wonderful father you have!
😊😊 thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Great lesson from your Dad, I appreciate his deep knowledge on our history.
Thank you 😊 I’m glad you found the content informative.
Always a pleasure self-education is the best education
This is so true. This is one of my goals for this year. To learn as much as I can.
🙏🏽🌞👌🏾
LOVE your Dad. ❤❤Happy 48th Greenz
Ikr! I do too!! He’s a real treasure!
Thanks sir,never knew all this history
Glad you found the information useful
Thank you so much for all that you do to showcase our beautiful Grenada, which is much more than the Grenada tourist board has ever done.
If your dad has not yet written a book on the history of Grenada, he needs to write one. He shared an increadible amount of info.
Thank you both very much for an information packed 48th independence anniversary video.
You’re most welcome. He hasn’t written a book. I’ve tried to convince him but he’s convinced that the literature already exists but just isn’t read, which is true so I can’t really argue with that reasoning. But he may change his mind so fingers crossed.
Way to go bro...awesome....
Thanks!
Thank u I learnt so much !! Plz remind me why they don't have u teaching stuff these in our schools I remember when u work in tourism and I was a child had love hearin ur voice on radio still love. Ur voice today
I wish they taught it in schools too. Hopefully videos and initiatives like these will encourage the ministry of education to include it in the curriculum in the future. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and that you learnt a lot. I’m sure my dad will be happy to know that you continue to enjoy listening to him to this day. Take care and stay safe!
Great information…was very knowledgeable
Thank you!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL MY GRENADIAN PEOPLE LOVE YOU ALL.🙏👍🇬🇩❤🥰
Thank you so much! Happy new year and happy independence to you too. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video and that you learned a lot! Most of what he discussed definitely isn’t taught in schools, unfortunately.
Happy independence...and ur father is wuz very educational very helpful
Thank you! And I’m glad you found the content useful and helpful!
Very informative wow there is a lot I didn't know.. thank you and your dad... Happy independence very good job be blessed 🙏❤️
There’s a lot many of us don’t know unfortunately. Hopefully daddy and I can do something to rectify that. Glad you enjoyed it. Happy independence to you too.
There are many Grenadians in Sauteurs St Patrick’s that have Kalinago grandparents.I am one of them
Oh okay, that’s nice. Maybe they were not captured in the census mentioned. Hopefully that will be rectified this time around.
Thank you Mr Frank for this wonderful history lesson. Very informative. I had no idea we had so many name changes. Besides Grenada, I especially like Camerhogne, which honours the original inhabitants
Yes I like Camerhogne too. At least we still have the park named in their honor. Lots of name changes have happened over time
👏 Excellent/Awesome explaination you are a Genius Mr Frank.
Keep up the Good Job, Nezzle.
Happy Independence
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found the content informative. Happy independence to you too!

So informative! My uncle is a wealth of information. A walking history book💕
He sure is!! He did that all in one take eh. No breaks, no stopping to check anything. He just flowed. I stood there amazed!
A wealth of knowledge/information. Looking forward to additional information in the future 😀
Awesomeness! Yes he has a lot of information to offer. I’m glad he’s agreed to do more content for the channel.
Hi Nezie what an amazing dad you have! A true historian with a wealth of knowledge about our Iovely Grenada. Very intelligent indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed the history session...as a matter of fact I could listen to him all day😊. I can hardly wait to go on tours with him when my family and I next visit the island.
Thank you to you both for all the fabulous work...it is truly educational.
Maybe one day your dad can talk about the Kalinago people.
Congrats again on our 48th Year of independence.
Much love💕💕
Thank you!!!! 🤗🤗 yes I’m sure you’ll have a great time with him on that tour. And he will share lots more history. I hope your visit will be soon. I look forward to finally meeting you and your family. Thank you for the independence greetings and you’re most welcome re the video 😊
