Hello: Noted your recent message relating to a forthcoming genealogy meeting. Due to the distance involved, I will not be able to attend. But, the presentation appears most interesting and educational. Is it possible to obtain either from the speaker or from the organization a copy of the remarks presented?

Hello all,I recently have gotten a CD which has the complete roster of the Confederate Soldiers during the war between the states or ( as complete as possible ) anyway if anyone wants me to confirm a soldier to service then,let me know...David J Mikell ----- Original Message ----- From: To: [email protected] Sent: 4/12/01 3:17:19 AM Subject: [FLDUVAL] Vital Record Lookup Request Hello, Duval Countians! I'm back with another small thread of hope. Thanks to the listings on the Archives for Duval County, I have just received a CSA pension for John Richard NICHOLSON. I have not been able to confirm that his is in fact the father of Grace, my gggrandmother, but am willing to dig a little further to see if I can make a connection. What I would like to find out is if someone could check for a death certificate of John Richard NICHOLSON, died 3/31/1920 in Duval Co. According to the CSA pension record, he was born 11/25/1838 in Sussex Co, VA, moved to Jax area 5/11/1887, and lived there until his death. It is my hope that his death certificate may list his interment. I have recently discovered that my ggrandfather's sister is still living @ 90 something. Although I have spoken to her and she remembers very little, I am hoping to drop some more dates and places to try "priming the pump". Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Hello List, The Janis Howell we are seeking attended Landon High School in Jacksonville, Florida, probably in the 1950's. She may have lived for a time on Old Hickory. Below is some additional information that may be familiar to her. If she is known to this list, please contact us at the below listed email addresses. Thank you, Karen Foster Montgomery "The schooner Juan Sebastian de Elcano, Spanish Navy training Ship, between May 3rd and 8th, 1957, made a visit to Jacksonville, one of the ten Ports of Call in her eleven-month training cruise around North and South America. On board, around 100 midshipmen received instruction in their 4th year of their career. During those days a group of girls of a Jacksonville high school, Landon, made the life of the midshipmen easier and happier, taking them home for lunch and dinner, to school dances, to the swimming pools, etc., making the Jacksonville stay the happiest of the trip. Their beauty, kindness and how helpful they were has never been forgotten by the midshipmen of Class of '53. After 40 years is a recurring topic in every meeting. The Spanish Naval Academy Class of '53 is nearing its Golden Anniversary and, among other things, is planning to pay tribute to the kindness of that Jacksonville High School group of girls, but finding them is going to be a difficult task. " This is a quote from an email I've recently received from Ramon. If anybody reading this recalls that event, please contact either myself, Karen Foster Montgomery at [email protected], or Ramon M. de Velasco, Captain, Spanish Navy (Ret), at [email protected]
