Just found this site and am glad to know there is a genealogy link for Duval County. While I was born and raised in Duval County all my ancestors are from the NC area (Wanchese, Manteo, Manns Harbor, Outer Banks, Kitty Hawk). If you come across anyone by then names of Hayman, Mann, Tillett, Daniels, Midgett, etc. from the NC area I have loads (abt. 200 -+) of digital pictures of grave tombstones & markers from the various cemeteries. They were taken directly from the camera to a floppy disk so they would be easy to forward. It was a thrill to place the pictures to my FTM. Morbid as it may seem, I am hooked on my genealogical research. Started it way back in 1969 when every thing was done by snail mail and recorded on hardcopy. Now with computers, software (FTM) and the web, everything is so much nicer and, to say the least, easier. I retired in 1998 and have gone full fledged every since. Happy hunting for your ancestors. I tried to send an e-mail to your regular e-mail addresses but the system did not recognize the screen names. Sorry to send this off the wall message to the FLDUVAL-D Digest message board.

hello mary - your message and your very kind offer to share your information will be appreciated by everyone on the duval list, i'm sure. though i don't have any of the surnames that you listed in my research, your last name, KEMP, did catch my attention. i haven't begun researching my husband's family names yet (i only research one surname at a time) but his mother's maiden name is KEMP. if you don't mind, i'd like to keep a record of this message and contact you when i begin my KEMP research. have a great weekend! julie thames howell jax, fla ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2001 6:06 AM Subject: [FLDUVAL] Re: FLDUVAL-D Digest V01 #35 Just found this site and am glad to know there is a genealogy link for Duval County.
