I don't know where all of my ancestors are buried, but I think that most of the Boghich clan is buried in Milton Cemetery, and many of my Gonzalez ancestors are buried in St. Michael's Cemetery in Pensacola. I have never been there to check it all out. Are you related to any of the names that I mentioned?

I was wondering if there were any records kept back in the early 1840's of ships that came and went from the port of Pensacola, and if there were, are they still around somewhere? My gggrandfather Francis Boghich had a four-masted schooner that he sailed between Austria, his home, and Pensacola before he settled in Milton, Santa Rosa County.

Family Tree Maker is a great program to post information that you might like to connect later because the program gives you the option to "fix relationship problems" so you can go back later and attach a family member to another family. Hope this helps.

Lucius "Bud" Medlock was born Jan 4 1849 in AL. He married Ida Gentry on Sept 23 1884 in Esambia County, FL. He died February 24, 1937 in Bluff Spring, Escambia County Fl, and is buried in the Crary Cemetery there. His children: Beatrice born Dec 28, 1885 died Nov 18 1892 in Bluff Spring. This child is buried between Lucius and Ida in Crary Cemtetery. These two I am fairly sure are the sons of Lucius and Ida, but I have no further info on them. Walter born July 1888 in FL Bonham born Oct 1890 in FL. I would very much like more info on Walter and Bonham. I believe that the parents of Lucius were Walter R (born about 1822-died Oct 13 1842) and Louisa Hall, about whom I know nothing more. Their children, to the best of my knowledge were: Lucius Lucretia Martha Mary J. Amanda Nancy John. Any further info on any of these will be appreciated. Emma in NM

Since Escambia seems to have some of the best genealogists around, I thought I would present a question for your response. I started researching the Delony/Deloney surname and quickly got back into the 1700s. There is one link that is missing but I expect to find it in the near future. One group of brothers and cousins born from 1779 to about 1825 scattered from Virginia to Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. Later generations moved from those locations to New York, California and Illinois and I am sure other places. Inquiries posted on the Rootsweb message page seem fruitless as different people name their gggrandparent and ask if anyone is kin to them. It appears to me that a coordinated effort though would connect many if not most of the Deloney families out there and create a very large genealogy file. Would FTM be the best program to begin posting information from the various people (not necessarily connected) with the plan to begin connecting them eventually as information is received that would match up families? Has anyone tried to do something like this before? I appreciate your input. David

What town/school was this. My mother attended school in Pensacola her 7 & 8th years and I would like to check for her school records but do not know the names of schools back them. She was a ward of the State and transferred there from Jacksonville. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MBell3600@aol.com> To: <FLESCAMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 10:35 AM Subject: [FLESCAMB] 1926 Newspaper article I have a newspaper article printed in Jan 1926 regarding my father's birthday.

Emily, et al. Delayed birth certificates are a 20th century contrivance. Most of the ones I have seen were done in the 1930's thru 50's to secure some kind of government benefit be it homestead, job or old age benefits under social security. They were filed in the county courthouse, not the health dept. They were not required and were only done for a very short period of time. >From George G. Morgan's e-zine is this example: Delayed Birth Certificates Children born outside a hospital, perhaps at home with the services of a relative or midwife, may not have been issued a birth certificate. Others whose births occurred before the time when the recording of births was mandated by state law also lacked natal documentation. In these cases, they may have required that a Delayed Certificate of Birth be issued in order to obtain a passport, to apply for Social Security benefits, to enlist in a branch of the service or for some other purpose. In 1971, for example, as my father prepared to apply to collect Social Security retirement benefits, he applied in the State of North Carolina for a delayed birth certificate. The process entailed obtaining at least three pieces of evidence to confirm his date of birth. In his case, his delayed birth certificate indicated that he provided the following pieces of evidence and the dates of the documents: ----- Family Bible that was in his possession (and his address) in which the copyright date of the bible and the detailed birth entry were noted. ----- A life insurance policy issued by a specific company, the issuer's address, the policy number, and the issue date of 6/11/1940 (The state presumed that the insurance company had previously verified the date of birth of the insured.) ----- Copy of the 1920 Federal census record issued to my father by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C., indicating my father's age in years at the time of the census. The delayed birth certificate application was processed in Alamance County, NC, the county of his birth, and the Office of Vital Statistics in Raleigh signed off that no prior birth certificate was on file in their office. The application was approved and a certificate was issued. In another instance, my maternal grandmother's eldest sister provided similar evidence for her in 1951 in the form of a sworn affidavit stating the date of my grandmother's birth. Another article by Kathi Stitner in Ancestry magazine added this tidbit: When Social Security benefits were instituted in 1937, each employed person filed an application for a Social Security number. The application form asked questions concerning birth date and place, parents' names, spouse's name, and residence address at the time of the application. To receive benefits, individuals were also required to document their births, even if their birth states had not required birth registration. The 1880 and 1900 census enumerations were partially or fully indexed to help provide this documentation, and, during this time, many delayed birth certificates were issued by counties when individuals submitted family information such as Bibles to the court. The resulting information was kept in the individual's Social Security files and is now available from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Social Security Administration through the Freedom of Information Act.

If Jacksonville doesn't have a record of delayed birth certificate who else would have it for around 1890 or 1895? Thanks Emily Sund

I have tried to get school records from Osceola County, where he supposedly started school around 1920 according to "family legend" (much of which has been proven untrue, so who knows) but Osceola County says that school records are not public records and they will not access them for me for any reason, even though the people in question are dead. I am out of state, so I really haven't been able to fight that one, although it is one I eventually want to follow through on. I tried to get my cousin-in-law to do it, but I guess that fell through.

Lisa!! Why were you putting this on Escambia County's message list? Was he supposed to have been in Escambia County FL? What relationship are you to him? The state law does not allow anyone be certain people to get birth certificates. His sister might be able to. When was he born? Is this one of those guys born before the State issued birth certificates, so you are not getting a certificate? Would he have been in FL in 1930? When the census gets in at the State Archives I can try to look him up if you'll send his name.

I was very interested in one listing for the "Pfeiffer's Steam Bakery" because my Grandfather owned a steam bakery at the same location, I think. He must have bought it from the Pfieffers and renamed it "McCurdy Steam Bakery". He and my Grandmother died early so I have only a little information about them. He was William Henry McCurdy and she was Hattie Ella Swift Stoeckinger McCurdy. Keep up the good work. Dick McCurdy

Have you tried locating any school records for him? Surely his parents, not him, would have given info on those records. Just a thought.

How good the info on a death certificate is about the deceased person, depends on how knowledgeable the person who gave the info was about the deceased person. The informant could be a family member, friend, doctor, care giver, or simply the guy at the morgue. When there is very little info on the death certificate about the deceased person, I usually find that the person is in the care of someone who knows very little about them. Most times these poor souls are in a nursing home or some type of care facility and have been abandoned by their family. The county did not bother to seek out any info on the person who was deceased, they just took and recorded info from anyone who knew the person and was willing to give what info they knew about the person. Sad, but this happens more often than you know.

Have you tried putting it in backwards? I found Wiley Wynn that way, putting Wiley in as surname and Wynn as first name. I was using LDS. May not work, but it's worth a try. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt and Lisa Hurley" <hurleytalk@surry.net> To: <FLESCAMB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2002 9:44 PM Subject: Re: [FLESCAMB]birth certificate question His death certificate also contains the info about Montana.
