Happy New Year to each of you. Just a note to let all know of my move. My homepage is now located at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~twparker Best wishes to your new year. Lil tommy,

Hi Everybody..... For those who might be researching the surname Taylor...... in the early to mid 1900's there was a John S. Taylor fruit packing plant in Largo, Pinellas County, Fla. ....... could be a descendant of this John S. Taylor..... The Taylor's were quite a prominent family in Pinellas County during those years, and a lot of people from the Suwanne Valley area migrated to Pinellas Co. because of the fruit industry and the availability of jobs. Just thought I would pass that along.......

I have not found anything to really help me in my search yet but I have certainly enjoyed the opportunity of perusing the historical data. Thank you. Mickey Sullivan

Great work! Thanks.

Hi all ... I'm working on a stack of copies from a record book without an index. Each page is a surprise. From yesterday afternoon through this moment I have transcribed 26 legal size pages of small antique sometimes smeared handwriting discovering people and places that were lost to history. Keep an eye out for your ancestors. If I have the names and years that you are interested in and I happen to find something when I visit the County Admin Building, I'll let you know what I find. No guarantees, whenever I have time and the opportunity.
