I was born in Hillsborough County, Magdelene Precinct, and no city is listed. My birthdate is September 22, 1936. Does anyone know what Magdelene Precinct refers to? Is there anyplace in Hillsborough Co. that one can search birth records? I was adopted through The Children's Home Society of Florida, and it was recorded in the Dade Co. Circuit Court on Febuary 16, 1939. Harry Harry E Martin 3107 Green Grove Lane Tuscaloosa. AL 35404 (205) 556-2312 harryemartin@prodigy.net

Had a son named Pebley, Jr., a daughter whose name may have been Barbara and , possibly, a third child. Pebley Sr.'s wife was a school teacher in Hillsborough Co. Cynthia

Ref: FLHILLSB-D Digest V00 #2, Message #2 Suzanne & Others If you find something you want on the Tampa-Hillsborough Online Resource (THOR), you should visit your local library and try to get it through the Interlibrary Loan System. May be quicker and usually the fee is smaller or none at all. Hope this helps, Sim <A HREF="http://scfn.thpl.lib.fl.us/ ">Tampa-Hillsborough Co. Public Library< /A>

Hello Suzanne, You can locate newspaper articles from the Tampa Tribune online. Some have obits and other info. go to the following web site: http://scfn.thpl.lib.fl.us/thpl/thpl.htm Then click on Library Catalog. then click on Connect to THOR. When it says LOGON: type THOR. Then select #8 for TRAILS (which is the search for the Tampa Tribune) Then you can type in any name or subject. I searched for Elwood Matson and came up with this response: Tampa Tribune (microfilm) TITLE Matson, Elwood; 94; 1960 SUBJECTS Deaths DATE 13 DEC 1960 SECTION F.N.-p.2 What that means is the Tpa Tib has a death notice on Dec 13, 1960 in Section F pg 2. You can write the Tampa Library and they will make a copy and send it to you, or you might be able to locate it some where else. There were other Matson's listed but only one for Elwood. If I can be of furthur help, let me know. > Subject: [FLHILLSB-L] Elwood Matson > Date: Sat, 8 Jan 2000 09:46:46 EST > From: SCMATSON@aol.com > To: FLHILLSB-L@rootsweb.com > > Elwood Matson lived in Tampa, FL in the early 1960's with his son, John E. > Matson, Sr. He died at age of 94 around 1961.

Hi List, I am new to this list and am researching the LINEBERGER surname. My family originated in the US in Baltimore, MD. My gggrandfather was Daniel LINEBERGER m: Charlotte CLEMMONS/CLEMMENS. Their son, my ggrandfather, William E. LINEBERGER was born in Baltimore 1833. My family appeared to have settled in what is now Elkridge, MD. In the early days it was known as Elkridge Landing, MD Am very interested to know if anyone in the greater Tampa area is doing research on the family. Thank you in advance for your help. JoAnne Lineberger Barrett

WISHART who was the developer of the subdivision WELLSWOOD in Tampa during WWII. Any leads would be most appreciated. I'm very far away from a library down in Mexico where my husband and I work among the poor indigenous streetsellers. Thanks, Patty R. Coleman

Elwood Matson lived in Tampa, FL in the early 1960's with his son, John E. Matson, Sr. He died at age of 94 around 1961. Undated obituary (probably from Tampa Tribune) gives his age at death but no date of death. Is there any site where obituaries from Tampa are archived that is searchable? I need to find the exact date of death in order to obtain a death certificate from the state of Florida. The funeral home that handled the local arrangements was Wilson Sammon Company. Are they still in business? I would also like to find out where he is buried and if his wife is buried with him. Any help or hints on where to search would be greatly appreciated. Suzanne Collins Matson

Belva, I am aware of three National Cemeteries in Florida. I am guessing you are looking for the one in Sumter County near Bushnell or Ridge Manor. It is in active use. There is one in St. Augustine and another at Bay Pines in Pinellas County, however only cremated remains can be added at Bay Pines. I suspect there may be other National Cemeteries in Florida.

Can anyone tell me where the National Cemetery in Florida is? Is it anywhere near Orlando, Florida? Is there a website for a Newspaper in Orlando ? Any help would be appreciated. Sincerely, Belva

Another virus problem, this one forges a Rootsweb mailist addy. Just got one myself. Rememeber can not forward attached messages nor accept HTML language messages. List Owner Deborah Byrd -----Original Message----- From: Tim Pierce <twp@rootsweb.com> Hi - If you received mail with an attachment that purported to be from a RootsWeb mailing list, please be aware that the mail is a forgery and did *not* come from RootsWeb. There is an e-mail "worm" circulating on the net. In some e-mail clients it says: he, your lame client cant read HTML, haha. click attachment to see some stunningly HOT stuff and on others: http://stuart.messagemates.com/index.html Hypercool Happy New Year 2000 funny programs and animations... We attached our recent animation from this site in our mail ! Check it out ! If you received this mail and it appeared to come from a RootsWeb mailing list, that means that someone else on the list is infected with this worm, and their computer sent the worm directly to you without their knowledge. The worm did *not* actually get sent to RootsWeb and was not sent through our lists; it is just forged to appear that it did. For more information and disinfection instructions, see http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/worm.newapt.html or http://vil.mcafee.com/vil/wm10475.asp Please do not ask RootsWeb for more information about this worm; we cannot provide virus help. -- Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb.com lead system admonsterator and Chief Hacking Officer

I have 12 pages of churches that were in Hills. as of June 1939. The list includes church name, religious affiliation, location, and racial preference. The listing was prepared by the WPA. I am in the midst of a couple of transcription projects for another county that I host on the FL gen web, so I am wondering if some brave soul would like to transcribe the pages for inclusion in the Hills. Florida Gen Web site. You can take as many or as few of the pages as you want. The transcription will need to be in a PC compatible format, html, txt or spreadsheet such as lotus or excel. I don't have a MAC and no program to back read a MAC file. Let me know if there are any daring people out there, and I'll mail them to you. Found them on a Salt Lake Family History Library mircofilm with Virginia records. Deborah Byrd FL Gen Web, Hills. County Coordinator

I have a favor to ask, If anyone has access to the early Florida Newspapers that covered Hillsborough and Hernando County, please contact me. I am looking for copies of coverage of the assination of Jacob Bartlet/Bartley Mickler's family in Brooksville on March 31 1881. I am trying to get a complete family history up till 1890, and the articles would help. The family hasn't talked much about, and what I have is two generations away from the event and probably slanted by the death of my uncle Bill langston in the 1940's. Thanks for the help Deborah Byrd

I sent out a virus warning last week about the work pretty park.exe not to open any attachment by that name. Here is what the succor does, allows back door entry into your system and if on a network, the network. Description This is a worm program that behaves similar to Happy99 Worm. This worm program was originally spread by email spamming from a French email address. The attached program file is named "PrettyPark.EXE". The original report of this worm was submitted through our exclusive Scan&Deliver system on May 28, 1999 from France. When the attached program called "PrettyPark.EXE" is executed, it may display the 3D pipe screen saver. It will also create a file called FILES32.VXD in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and modify the following registry entry value from "%1" %* to FILES32.VXD "%1" %* without your knowledge: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\exefile\shell\open\command Once the worm program is executed, it will try to email itself automatically every 30 minutes (or 30 minutes after it is loaded) to email addresses registered in your Internet address book. It will also try to connect to an IRC server and join a specific IRC channel. The worm will send information to IRC every 30 seconds to keep itself connected, and to retrieve any commands from the IRC channel. Via IRC, the author or distributor of the worm can obtain system information including the computer name, product name, product identifier, product key, registered owner, registered organization, system root path, version, version number, ICQ identification numbers, ICQ nicknames, victims email address, and Dial Up Networking username and passwords. In addition, being connected to IRC opens a security hole in which the client can potentially be used to receive and execute files. Norton AntiVirus will detect PrettyPark.Worm as "Trojan Horse" with June 1, 1999 virus definitions. With the June 9, 1999 definitions or later, the worm will be detected as "PrettyPark.Worm." Repair Information Removing this worm manually: Using REGEDIT, modify the Registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\exefile\ shell\open\command from FILES32.VXD "%1" %* to "%1" %* (You may launch REGEDIT through Windows Start-menu-RUN. Then search for "FILES32.VXD" in REGEDIT.) Delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FILES32.VXD Delete the "Pretty Park.EXE" file. Reboot your computer. You need to do step #1 above; otherwise, executable files may not run properly if you simply delete FILES32.VXD Safe Computing This worm, and other trojan-horse type programs, demonstrate the need to practice safe computing. You should not launch any executable-file attachment (EXE, SHS, MS Word or MS Excel file) that comes from an untrusted email or newsgroup source. These files should always be scanned by Norton AntiVirus, using the latest virus definitions. Norton AntiVirus users can protect themselves from PrettyPark.Worm by downloading the current virus definitions either through LiveUpdate or from the following web page: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/download.html Write-up by: Raul K.

Hello, I am new to this list. I just actively started working on my families in Hllsborough County. I am trying to find what happened to Ethel Stafford who married Joseph Paul Robles in Hillsborough Cty in 1898. Did she die or did they divorce? There is a marriage listed for Joseph Paul Robles to Etta Harrison in Hillsborough Cty in 1927. I assume this is the same gentleman who remarried. Can anyone offer some light to this family? Thank you. I am looking forward to reading your questions, comments and information. Sincerely, Cathy pierce@cftnet.com
