Hi Ron! No attachment intended. I had you in my address book. I think we wrote before concerning Apalachicola or the Civil War. Regards, David in Apalachicola, Fl.

Greetings, list. I would appreciate it if someone could do a lookup for an obit at the Jacksonville Public Library. My great-uncle Carl I. Overton died in Jacksonville, FL on May 1st, 1933. Could someone please help me? I have attempted to get the microfilm for the newspaper by ILI to do this myself and am unable to do so. I live in MN so can't get there myself. I will be happy to pay costs. Thanks for any assistance and consideration of my request. Beth C. [email protected]

The place to write for death records is Jacksonville Florida. The person died in 1924 in Hillsborough county. Do I still need to go to Jacksonville to retrieve the death record ??? if I do where???? or can I get them from somewhere in Hillsborough County??? any information is appreciated Leslie

I'm new to this so please forgive me if my request is out of order. I am just trying to get the word out in hopes of obtaining any information I can. I am working with the Jacksonville Historical Commission to have an old (mid 1800's) abandoned Afro-American cemetery considered for historical designation. This cemetery was used by the residents of the "Black Point" settlement, later known as "Yukon". This community was disbanded when the land was turned into NAS-Jax. We have established a direct relationship with many buried there to the "Mulberry Grove Plantation" after emancipation. If any has any information on Mulberry Grove or the Black Point settlement before or during the War between the States it would be most appreciated. Thanks Holly

Hi Ron! Sorry about that! It is taken care of! Regards, David in NW Fla.

Kathy, You might want to check with the Clay County School Board, which is who would retain the archives for Orange Park Schools. The phone # is Clay County Schools (904) 284-6500 The records for the time frame you are referencing are sketchy at best. If this does not pan out, please e-mail me privately and I will check with some private sources to see if someone can help you.

For those interested: Dania, FL is located in Broward County, FL. It is just below Ft. Lauderdale.

My Father TOM (Thomas) Turner b Sep-18-1917 d - March - 1-1984 married Ruth Elizabeth Rowling on Oct. 11, 1939......Jacksonville, Fl.. His father went by Tom Turner - he was married to a Bunnie Dean(middle or last not sure) .. My father was raised in Arlington, Jacksonville, Florida- Duval County. His mother later moved to Dania?, Florida to live with Grandpa Gorden(married? or not )thats all I know of his name - Grandpa Gorden worked for the Railroad in some way because he was responsible for a stretch of tracks near where he lived in Dania. It is suppose to be a very very very small town - a whistle stop as my mother described it. No one in my family remembers when They died.. No one remembers much of anything. I am trying to get a copy of my fathers birthcertificate or ss# but it is taking forever. They have cashed my checks but I have recieved nothing. Any help is appreciated even if it is directions somewhere else. Former Duval County Resident Marcia [email protected]

Ron: I fear that they will be around for a while. Just one can send it to fifty and that fifty can send it to a million before it's over. It goes on and on. I agree with you that it can be stopped but it will be much further into the future before it is accomplished. Bill Covey Author of: Watson Is Where It Wuz http://BillCovey.50megs.com

For those wanting to read about the Great Fire of 1901 in Jacksonville, go to: http://jacksonville.com Scan down the left side of the page and under the word "SEARCH" click onto "KEYWORD" and then type in "1901 Fire".

Hello: I realize that this request may be out of line but I would very greatly appreciate some assistance. According to family oral history, the following ancestor died possibly in the Miami Florida area in the time frame of 1920s to 1930s. Name: CHARLES AUGUSTUS BLASE I may be expecting too much when I ask if anyone on this list has any information, such as date of death, place of death, and place of burial, of this individual. As an alternative if someone could suggest sources which I could contact for the requested information and, hopefully, a copy of the applicable obituary, I would be most appreciative. Your cooperation and assistance will be most welcomed. Robert Peterson e-mail address: [email protected]
