Dean, There are many reference books in the Library here that I can look in for you. If you can give me that dates that she lived here maybe I can find an early census record that will list family members w/ her. Do you think she married here, what year? Dawn

I am also in Lee County and I work but will try to help. My husband was born and raised here and I have been in Ft. Myers since 1958 so this area and I are not strangers. I will try help anyone who needs it. Post your names and we will see what some of us can do.

Joni, No problem! I do not expect anything. The reason I signed on the Lee County list and asked for deeds of those whom are in need is because I've received so much help on my family from locals in NC & VA. I don't know what I would have done without them. I felt the need to return the favor to those whom I could help. Sincerely, Dawn Brown Richardson

Joni, If you'd like I can snail mail you the copy of the obit for Bryan unless you got everything you needed in the previous message. Dawn

John, I searched all of April 1999 obituaries for Lee County and did not come up with anything. I found this Karl listed in the Social Security Index. Did you get my email last night? Dawn

Dean, I searched the entire month of February 1970 and did not find one single Cameron or Wallace listed in the obituaries. I'm sorry. Do you another suggestion? Dawn

Joni, Got a chance to stop off at the library today. Here's what I found in the News-Press on Sunday, February 5, 1984: SMITH, ROBERT BRYAN Died Feb 3, 1984 Ft. Myers, Lee Co. FL Robert B. Smith, 77, of Fort Myers, passed away on Friday. A native of Coalgate, OK. Mr. Smith has been a resident of Fort Myers since 1968 coming from Brazil. He was a Mason and a member of the First United Methodist Church of Fort Myers. He is survived by his wife Kay Smith; a daughter; Julia Alice Smith, of Nyack. NY; a son and daughter-in-law, Brien R. and Karen L. Smith of Brooksville, FL; three sisters, Gertrude Harris of Sunnymead, CA, Lola Monhollon of Richmond, VA; and Loretta Gholson of Texas; and one grandson. Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday at 10am at First United Methodist Church with Ministers Donald F. Padgett, pastor, and James C. Charnley, associated pastor, officiating. The family will receive friends at the church on hour prior to the service. Arrangements by the Anderson Funeral Home, 3654 Palm Beach Blvd. Hope this provides so much needed info for you. Dawn

Hi, Redith, I don't know what is going on, but three times tonight my message to you has been thrown back as no such address. I've been trying to send Wade Hampton Whidden's database. I know you're not supposed to send attachments to the list so I've been sending it to your email address which I got through on before. So I guess I will have to try again tomorrow. I've also got the Weeks database ready going back to Levi Weeks who would be a grgrgrgrandfather. Will try again. Doris

Hi Dawn, Noticed your earlier note - This list seems so quiet I often forget I am subscribed. My mother's family settled in Fort Myers in about 1913, having migrated from Missouri - relative newcomers - Standley (associated names - Carpenter, Hobson, Lummis, Hendry). I lived there for many years. Very little of my research has (to date) centered in Florida although I have some work to do there. Just curious - what families are other list members researching in Lee County? When and from where did they come to Lee County? How about you, Dawn?

Hi Dawn, I just wanted to say HI. I was born and raised in Lee County but now live in Asheville, NC. I have a friend in Lee Cty who did some lookups for me. She will probably see your note. So hang in there. Peggy (Florida grown, now in NC)

Thanks for everyone who wrote. I live here in Fort Myers and was wondering what the people on this list were discussing. Maybe hoping to help a few if I could. Thanks, Dawn

Hi, I was born in Lee County too many years ago. Glad some one stirred up the list. I've been away from Fort Myers for 37 years now and live in New Jersey. I can hardly bear to visit there now because so much has changed. I worked in downtown Fort Myers and it is gone as I knew it. But that has nothing to do with genealogy except that it was part of my life. I should have some second cousins there that I don't even know except that their name is Albritton, children of Robert"Pete" Albritton. Bobby as we called him has been gone for a long time, but he did have children. To narrow it down a bit, he was the son of G.L. (Uncle Gus) Albritton. He was also called Jess. Robert's mother was Louise Pritchett. They lived on Hoople Street. They had one other child, Hazel, who is also gone. I am working on the Albritton genealogy, have tons of information that I could share. I would like to hear from Robert"Pete" Albritton's descendants , would like tio be able to add them to the list of Albrittons and , maybe, if they are interested, I can help them with finding out about their ancestors.. I am also working on the Whidden genealogy, namely descendants of Wade Hampton Whidden, my great grandfather. My parents were Cecil Thomas Albritton and Jessie May Whidden. So anyone who may have a connection with Wade Hampton Whidden should get in touch with me. Also , I am looking for Leola Weeks Lowe--daughter of my great aunt, Agnes Whidden and Alfred Weeks. She was married to "Boots" Lowe and I believe they had a son named Johnny. Anyone with any information on Leola, please get in touch with me. Okay, the ball is rolling, somebody catch it. Thanks My email address is dorisfl6@bellatlantic.net. Doris Albritton Smith

I, too, am interested in published obits for Lee Co. Anyone have access? Joni Marie NASJS@webtv.net

Seeking any info on Robert Bryan SMITH b 1906 possible Oklahoma or Texas and died 1984 Lee Co. Parents are Marcus Houston Smith and Alice Parker Smith. Would apprciate any info!!!! Joni Smith Everett, Wa nasjs@webtv.net

Hi, I am new to this list, writing you from Denmark. In order to find the descendants of Betty and Frank H. Fones (whose last residence was in Florida) I kindly ask someone out there to do a couple of obituary look-ups for me. If this is the wrong place to do so, please advise me whereelse to do so. The two obituaries that I am looking for are: Betty Fones - whose real name was Gunhild Fones - was born in Denmark on 20 September 1909, and passed away on 27 December 1992 - last residence 33912 Fort Myers, Florida (SSN 332-09-8947). Frank H. Fones - born on 29 March 1904, and passed away in April 1987, last residence 33928 Bonita Springs, Lee, Florida (SSN 332-09-8677). I will be grateful for any help - and can in return offer look-ups in parts of Denmark. Thank you for reading my mail. Anne Lise Kirk Jensen, Randers, Denmark.
