Go to http://www.thpl.org Click on Information Gateway Click on Genealogy Then type in any of the names you are looking for. If there was an article or obit posted in the Tampa Tribune or any of its affiliates (includes several adjoining counties), more information will come up. Say the name of a person you are seeking is on this list, you click on the name and the computer will give you the name of the paper, day, date, column, page, etc. you need to obtain. If it's a book or article, most can be obtained via inter-library loan. If it's an obit or newspaper article, one of us can get it for you. There are also cemetery lists on-line, USF has a great library and on-line site, and other sites to help you along. Try the library site first and see what you find. If Hobbs, Marvin doesn't come up, broaden your search to Hobbs, and you may find more.
