I am researching the Louis Fleming Drysdale family in Jacksonville FL in the 1890's. There are many family members of Drysdale's and Haddock's living in "The Drysdale addition". Does anyone know what this was? Does anyone have any additional information on these people? Thanks, Ginny Brewton
hi ginny - i just got back from vacation and noticed your message among my email. don't know if anyone got with you in response to your question but "the drysdale addition" would have been a parcel of land added to, or included in, the legal description of an area or neighborhood. i know that is probably confusing; let me try to explain further. if, for example, a piece of land is recorded in the local property appraiser's office as (just making up the names here for the purpose of illustration), "lot so-and-so, block so-and-so, avondale, recorded in plat book etc, etc..." then let's say that someone named drysdale owned a section of land or acquired a section of land adjoining the parcel known as avondale, the parcel that was owned or known as the drysdale property might be called "the drysdale addition" to "avondale". i don't know if that confuses you or not. if so, let me know and i'll try to get you even more confused. you could find out from the property apprai! ser's office where "the drysdale addition" is in jacksonville. their telephone number is 904-630-2011. i will also send you, by private email since rootsweb doesn't allow attachments, a genealogy information helplist that i've compiled that has telephone numbers, web site addresses, etc. that are useful when researching in the northeast florida area. hope this helps. julie thames howell, jax, fla ----- Original Message ----- From: Ginny Brewton To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2001 10:16 PM Subject: [FLDUVAL] What was Drysdale's addition?
