00:00The Jobe legacy highlights the history of the Jobe family in Tobago from the 1800s to 2014.
00:07Former TV6's Morning Edition host, Dr. Morgan Jobe, is a part of the historical documentation.
00:14It's something that I have to give credit to my late mother for.
00:18She was the one who essentially researched the history of the Jobe family in Tobago.
00:25And so we were able to find out that the family originated from two brothers, Frank and James Druthrow,
00:32who came from Barbados in the late 1800s and settled here, one in Belgarden and one in the western part of Tobago.
00:40The sister of the late Dr. Morgan Jobe, Corrie Jobe, and a number of family members and relatives from abroad were present.
00:48The handover ceremony is just one of the family reunion activities for the weekend.
00:54This is the book. It's called Jobe Legacy.
00:58The history of the Jobe family in Tobago from the 1800s to 2014, which is when all the research was done.
01:05And it was written by Kim Gittens-Reese.
01:08Kim Gittens-Reese is a Tobagoan and Barbadian descendant.
01:14So she has family. She's born in Barbados, but her mother is an Ottoman from Tobago.
01:20The three copies of the Jobe Legacy was then handed over to librarian Melissa Laptis of the Tobago Library Services.
01:29On behalf of Tobago Library Services, I would like to thank my family, the Jobe family of Tobago, for the donation of these three books, the Jobe Legacy.
