Monday is Veterans Day. Most libraries will be closed.

Hi, I'm new to the list. Please advise me on which newspaper would be likely to run an obit on the following man found on the SS Death Index: KENNETH KEYES 07 Jan 1901 Oct 1982 33595 (Valrico, Hillsborough, FL) (none specified) 147-03-2050 New Jersey SS-5 Letter Add Post-em Search Ancestry.com thanks in advance, Linda Mcdowell in California

What this will take without an exact date, is to search each days paper one at a time- for the entire time of which you think it may have appeared- long job- lots of micro-film viewing- unless one gets lucky right off and finds the day- it may take more than one trip to get it and it may show up right away- one of those things that will be hard pressed to find someone to help freely with - I only have certain days of which I can even go to Tampa and it is a 45 min drive for me- but if I get to go over there this week ( Monday) I can maybe give a paper or 2 a look for you - This is that I am hoping to get over there this week- I think the years you have here I will not be able to get locally so the trip is necessary- Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "nancy rodriguez" <nrodrigu@nycap.rr.com> To: <FLHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [FLHILLSB] Looking for 1944 article. > Hi Peggy, > > Thank you for your offer.

Roosevelt GRATTIC issue Jun 15 1985 p. 9B (deaths) Vander MCDONALD Died Aug 27, 1992 --cant find more specific on thor he was Hillsborough resident. I would gladly pay for xeroxing.

Hello everyone, I am new to this list. Living in Ontario, Canada, I am unable to go to the Library in Tampa. FL to check the city directories, so I'm depending on the kindness of someone to do so on my behalf. The person I am looking for is Aaron MILBURN. He was an alien, living in the U.S. since 1913. In a letter dated 22 May 1934 to his sister in British Columbia, Canada, he was living at 3801 -10th Avenue, Tampa, FL. Would some kind person check the Tampa city directories around this date to see if he was listed and, if possible, determine how long he lived in the area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. William CHILTON Ennismore, Ontario, Canada w.chilton@sympatico.ca

Hi Peggy, Thank you for your offer. I have been "playing" with TRAILS all day. I seem to only get death notices. I have tried the name, year, front page, headline, baby, hospital, neglect, abuse....no luck. What would they have said in 1944/1945 about a situation like this. I never seen the article, my uncle told me about it when we meet this year...long story. He did say that it was in the Tampa Tribune and that it had a picture of him as a baby. I'm lost.

I could use some help please. I am trying to find an article ( was told it may have been front page news with a photo around 1944-1945) about two or three children with rickets and malnutrition taken to the Hospital. This would have been my mother and at least one of her brothers, who where given away early 1945 (Jan, Aug respectfully) and since my Uncle was born 1943 that's why I now think late 1944 would be a good time frame to look at. This event would have occurred at some time between 1944(Oct, Nov, Dec) and 1945(Jan no later than the 12th).The children's names where Betty and Henry Johnson, mother Lena. Not sure if names where released in article. Can someone help me with this or suggest someone who can? I have tried Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness and the state library with no results. Thank You Nancy Rodriguez 116 Mt Hope Drive Albany, New York 12202-1010

As far as I know, they used their real names ( Edna Rhea Patterson Huffine & Austine (Shorty) Huffine) as they were part of the "set up" crew? and not actual carnival performers. Thanks, John & Laura Patterson. >>From : suebod <suebod@tampabay.rr.com> To : FLHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com Subject : Re: [FLHILLSB] Re: Carnival City Date : Wed, 30 Oct 2002 23:16:03 -0500 No, sorry. Were these their real names? Might recognize the carnival names though. Went to http://www.thpl.org/ but can't get Al's last name correct. It was Al Tomeni, Tomelli, something like that. (That was his real name; stage name The Giant; owned Giant's Fish Camp, Gibsonton, FL). His wife was the lady with no legs who got around on a little wagon type scooter, using her hands, wore leather gloves to help. Very nice lady. Saw her all the time in Sears at Hillsboro & 22d Street. Thought an article would help jog something. Anyone else know?
