I have a number of people [ancestors and collatertal relatives] from Hillsborough County's past that I am collecting genealogical and family history on. I will have some mix with Pinellas County since it was part of Hillsborough County. I am OMITTING living people from this listing. The SURNAMES are in caps, the given names are normal. I am looking for people who are reseaching these family lines. I have information that I am willing to share and hope to get some in exchange.
