Hi!
I saw your post inquiring who was the one with links to St. Maarten. It was me. My mom was born and raised in Grande Case on the French side. Most of my aunts and uncles still live there, and I have numerous cousins. Are you familiar with the Neptuno Restuarant in Grande Case? (Italian) My family leases it out. One of the hardware stores in Marigot is owned by my family I think. Also an insurance business in Philipsburg. The family names on either side are Mingo and Tackling. Ring a bell?
Debbie

Debbie, we only have been to St.Maarten once and loved it. But we really know very little about it. My husband is a Mathews and all I know is his Dad's people came from there but it was a couple of generations back. He said it felt like home to him...you know kind of familiar and all. We will go back again but not sure when. Guess that kind of tie is why we are so determined to live in a place like Ambergris Caye. Can't get away from the water.
