Seaford Town - Germany in Jamaica
published: Monday December 19, 2005
Nestled in the hills of eastern Westmoreland is the history-rich Seaford Town.
Founded 170 years ago in 1835 by immigrants from northern Germany, it is more popularly known as 'German Town'. Many of the residents still possess European features, which reinforce Jamaica's motto 'Out of Many, One People'.

I'm looking for a friend in Seaford Town. His name is Ferris Minto. He and I met while I was serving in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was the bartender in the officer's club. Pease pass along my e-mail address to him. Tell him his friend is looking for him and to contact me at freeandeasy46@hotmail.com. Because Google archives all messages I prefer to not use my name. Have him e-mail me and I will give him my name. I was a Marine officer and have visited him several times before both in Seaford Town and when he lived in Kingston. I will be coming to Jamaica in the fall.
