The Dolly Mae Genealogy Records
Containing over 150,000 surnames of almost 43,000 families from all over the Bahama Islands, the Dolly Mae Records are a collection complied by Oreste Lomardi and named for his ancestor, Dolly Mae Hewlett Brune.
The collection is a work in progress started some 20 years ago. Numerous volunteers have transcribed both Civil and Church Birth, Death, Marriage and Baptismal records covering the years 1750 thru 1910 with some variations for each individual island or district.
The Dolly Mae Records collection is a copyrighted work and is property of the Wyannie Malone Historical Museum and is intended for research purposes only and may not be copied, distributed or sold in any form without permission from the Wyannie Malone Museum Board of Directors, Hope Town, Abaco, Bahamas.

Got the message “Login Failed”?: The login will have failed because one final step requires the attention of a human before you can access The Dolly Mae Genealogy Records database. Since PayPal cannot automatically "tell" The Dolly Mae Genealogy Records database that you have paid, the staff of the Wyannie Malone Museum has to intervene manually to activate your pending account and this may take some time. Your subscription does not start when you pay, but only when you are activated and connected. Pending account emails will be checked as often as possible, every few hours Monday to Friday 10am – 4pm. You will be activated as soon as we can, once we confirm that you have paid your subscription and created your User Name or Login. When both are completed you will receive an email that will let you know that your account is activated and available for you to log in.
