    1. [FLJACKSO] Timeline of the Americas
    2. Hello Ya'll, As everyone knows I have been trying to locate or create a timeline of American history and world history that would allow me to see what was going on in the world at/about the time my ancestors were born, living and dying. I just needed to have some idea of what was going on around them to have some perspective. I have been working on making my own timeline, and ran across this one ... it is a pretty amazing site, with lots of information. I have found that some areas of the American History are lacking, but all in all, who am I to complain? http://www.camelotintl.com/world/america.html This is the main page: http://www2.canisius.edu/~emeryg/time.html Hope it is helpful to you as well!

    1. [FLJACKSO] Natural Bridge Historical Park Fund Raiser
    2. Richard White
    3. Dale Cox has recently authored a book on The Battle of Natural Bridge: The Confederate Defense of Tallahassee, Florida that is more or less a companion piece to his West Florida War, about the Battle of Marianna. In a cooperative effort with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection/Division of Recreation & Parks' Citizen Support Organization for the Natural Bridge Historical Park, the Natural Bridge Historical Society (NBHS), copies of both books are to be offered for sale at the upcoming reenactment at the Historic Park site east of Woodville in southern Leon County. Encampment of reenactors will begin on March 2d and the authentic camps will be open to the public on March 3d starting at 10:00 a.m. A memorial service will begin at 1:30 p.m., this year's featured speaker being Dale Cox. The reenactment of the battle will begin at 2:30 p.m. As long as they last, copies of these books will be available at the Natural Bridge Historical Society tent, as well as food, beverages, T-shirts and NBHS membership applications . Mr. Cox will also be available to autograph books. These books are in spiral bound 8 1/2 x 11 inch photocopied format and are for sale at a price of $25.00. A substantial portion of the proceeds from both books sold at the reenactment is being contributed to the NBHS to assist in efforts to support, promote and improve the Park... one of the greatest of which would be to acquire more of the battlefield. The existing Historic Park includes only a small portion of the area of the Confederate lines on the west side of the Natural Bridge. No part of the Union lines on the east side of the St. Marks River is currently within the Historic Park. While acquisition of additional Park land may at this point be more of a hope and a dream than a an actual plan... you've got to start somewhere. About the book, Mr. Cox has said: "On the Confederate side a number of soldiers from Jackson County took part in the battle, along with men and boys from Gadsden, Leon, Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, etc. A number of men from the area also fought on the Union side, as did two full regiments of African American troops. Basically the book covers in detail the events leading up to, during and following the Battle of Natural Bridge. The format is very similar to the "West Florida War" and the narrative relies heavily on eyewitness accounts of the engagement. It presents evidence that Tallahassee was Newton's objective all along (despite his later claims to the contrary) and it offers a reassessment of the closing phases of the battle." For those unable to attend, copies of both books can also be acquired by mail from Mr. Cox at: Dale Cox 111 Sheila Dr., Q-51 Dothan, AL 36301 The same portion of proceeds from sale of the The Battle of Natural Bridge will go to support improvements to the Historic Park if the book is purchased directly from Mr. Cox by mail. You can learn more about the battle and the Historical Park at the NBHS web site: http://pone.com/nb/index.htm and at the DEP website which changes URLs every few months, but for the time being can be seen at: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/parks/district1/naturalbridge/index.asp Richard White, Vice President Natural Bridge Historical Society -- <cid:[email protected]>

    1. [FLJACKSO] Help with the Carrabelle Cemetery
    2. Hi-- I am hoping someone might be able to help me, or perhaps help me get in touch with someone who can. I have been seeking the gravesite of Delores Gore Maige who died in 1934 and was buried in the Carrabelle Cemetery. She is not in the section where the older Maige family members were buried, but I understand she was buried in the section which contains the gravesite of one of the Maige relations...Margaret Barrows. Can you, or someone, tell me where the Barrows are located? I live in CA and on two of my trips home to Panama City, FL I have travelled down to Carrabelle to the cemetery in an effort to locate Delores' gravesite. I am returning to PC soon, and I would appreciate any help. Pat

    1. [FLJACKSO] The Toole Surname DNA Project Update
    2. Project Update May 2001 The initial round of DNA testing has been completed and the results discussed with the participants. Additional testing will begin in June 2001. At this time we are accepting requests for participants for the next round of testing. The Toole Surname DNA Project July 4, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Introduction Due to recent advances in genetic science, it is now possible to extend family trees by confirming family relationships using DNA testing. Called "Y polymorphism", the technique involves comparing the Y chromosomes of living male members of a surname group to determine if the members have a common male ancestor. It has been shown that the male Y-chromosome can be used to trace the descendants of a particular male through many generations. See the articles "Genetics and Genealogy" by Kevin Duerinck and "The Y-chromosome in the Study of Human Evolution, Migration and PreHistory" by Neil Bradman and Mark Thomas. This technique is particularly useful when one has extended the family tree as far as possible using available written records. The Toole Surname DNA Project I have been researching the Toole surname for over 5 years, and during that time I have had contact with many others who have been researching this surname. What we all seem to have in common is that, after a period of time, our research is hindered by a lack of written records that could be used to extend our surname research. We are then temped to assume relationships based on common given names, common geographical locations, "tradition", or other factors which we assume to be too coincidental to be the result of chance. However, such assumptions cannot be relied upon to establish familial relationships with any certainty. Much well documented research has already been accomplished for many of the Toole surname lines. But I have yet to find many researchers who have solved the puzzle of their original Toole immigrant or how their line is related to other Toole lines. For example, did Anderson Toole descend from the Isaac Toole line? Did the Irvin Toole line in Georgia descend from Isaac Toole? Were Edward Toole, Lawrence Toole, Matthew Toole, and Robert Toole of North Carolina related? Are the Toole descendants in Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Virginia, and Ohio related? Using Y-chromosome DNA testing we could answer many of these questions, particularly the question of whether the Toole surname lines are related through a common male ancestor. The Plan I propose that we perform Y-chromosome DNA testing for males who have the Toole surname. Each male participant would need to provide a mouth swab sample to be analyzed by an established DNA laboratory. The sampling technique is painless and involves the use of a swab to collect a small number of cells from the inside of one's cheek. The participant would collect their own sample with a standard collection kit provided by the laboratory. Participants' privacy would be protected by using numbers to identify the participants. It would be desirable to have at least two male participants from each established Toole line to provide additional certainty of results. Also, it would be desirable to use the oldest males of the line to decrease the probability of introducing variables such as chromosomal mutations that can occur naturally from generation to generation. The samples would be collected over a short period of time and analyzed as a batch to reduce the costs of analysis. The analysis itself take about four to five weeks. The results of the analysis would be reported directly to participants and their Surname Line Coordinator, if applicable. I have been in contact with Bennett Greenspan, President of Family Tree DNA, regarding the DNA analysis. See the Family Tree DNA website. The normal cost for each participant would be $229.00, but I have negotiated a discount based on volume testing. If we have 6-9 participants the cost is $217.00, for 10-19 participants the cost is $206.00, for 20-29 participants the cost is $195.00 and for 30 or more participants the cost is $185.00. While the tests are not inexpensive, they are much more reasonably priced than just three months ago. Also, the knowledge gained could save many hours of researching the wrong family line. I cannot personally provide the financial resources to fund the entire project. It is hoped that there are enough Toole family members who feel that this project is sufficiently important to Toole surname research that they will be willing to pay for the cost of the analysis of their own sample. Since testing of males within each documented Toole line will provide the required information for the entire line, perhaps family members of the line, who would benefit from the knowledge gained, would be willing to provide financial assistance for testing the male participants in their line. I will volunteer my time to serve as administrator of the project to coordinate the testing, distribute the collection kits, serve as liaison with the laboratory, and disseminate the project results. To Participate If you would like to participate in this project as a provider of a DNA sample Sign Up Now. If you would like to serve as coordinator of your Toole family line or would like to make a donation to the project, please email me. If you would like to talk with me directly, my telephone number is 910-295-6676. Lets honor our Toole ancestors by using proven technology to expand our knowledge of our common Toole Family. Project Update May 2001 The initial round of DNA testing has been completed and the results discussed with the participants. Additional testing will begin in June 2001. At this time we are accepting requests for participants for the next round of testing. Sanford Toole

    1. Re: [FLJACKSO] The Toole Surname DNA Project Update
    2. cynthia dean
    3. It is my understanding that the DNA testing only works through the male lines. So, what happens if an unmarried Toole female has a child? That child is still going to be from the same Toole line as his mother, but his DNA and that of his descendants is not going to match, because it did not come through the male line. I know that's clear as mud. But, the DNA testing can prove relationships of some, but it's not the final word in cases of relationshps from female lines. At least, that's the way it seems from here. If that's not right, please enlighten me. This testing is being done in the Jarman family, also, but it was very difficult to find a male Jarman that could trace straight back through males only. cd

    3. Thanks to everyone who wrote to tell me about "Thrill Hill". I hope it's still like it used to be; can't wait to take my kids over it next time I go through there!

    3. Jeff, the last time I was there, a stop sign had been placed at a cross street immediately before the drop off. That took most of the thrill away, but probably made it safer.

    2. Jeff, Thrill's Hill was a local "landmark" of sorts in Chattahoochee. Just south of U.S. 90, it was a hill that made your stomach fall if you went over it fast enough. In the late 60s, it was pretty much the tops in local entertainment for kids. Best, Dale

    2. A thank you to all the volunteers who have worked so hard on the cemeteries...and thank you Joan for letting us know this work is appreciated..... Betty Subj: Cleve Massalena Date: 02/13/2002 9:36:20 PM Eastern Standard Time From: [email protected] (Joan Bowen) My name is Joan Massalena-Bowen. I am the daughter of Cleve Massalena buried at Sylvania Cemetery. Although my father is dead, it is so heart-warming to see his name listed on your cemetery survey. The information is correct as the Veterans plaque has it presented. I visit the grave site often. I am planning to ask the Veteran administration to re-attach his plaque to the cement vault as it is "weathered"! Thanks Joan Massalena Bowen
