Hello Jeanne, What part of Florida are your Barber's from? I live in Gilchrist County Fl. and have recently been visiting the cemeteries in Dixie and Levy Counties. There are many Barbers buried here. I would be happy help you if you could email the Barber names. I'll look forward to hearing from you, Kay ----- Original Message ----- From: JeanneGodwin <jeannegodwin@worldnet.att.net> To: <BARBER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2000 10:14 PM Subject: Re: [BARBER-L] Shovel teeth > Could you please pass along the name(s) of any book(s) about the Barber > family? > Thanks!
