Acting on a "hunch" today I called Barrancas National Cemetery and found my Nicholas and Catherine Gathleny, along with 3 sons... 2 of whom were among the " missing" 3 children of the couple! the cemetery cites a burial of a FJ Gathelyn (spelled incorrectly) son of Sgt. Gathelyn who died on Feb 11, 1877. Notes say Fred was believed to be the first name of the child. Leo died Oct 19, 1899 My question is..... according to the official FL Vital Statistics site, it says they have "limited" deaths since 1877. Another site (not the official site) said they only had deaths since 1917. I'm sending for the 1900 death of Nicholas in the morning.... but how best to go about getting information on the 1877 and 1899 deaths? Anyone have any experience in getting certs that old? Are they microfilmed by LDS (I can't use online catalog with webtv, it won't work), or available at the WFGL? Thanks in advance.
