Does anyone know what Alexander Funeral Home's records (Book 4) are contained in the article in "The Pinellas Genealogist", Summer 2001 issue? I would like to get in touch with them for some additional information; however, unable to find one in Pinellas Co. Thanks. Leslie

Hello Liz, try these two, if you have not already done so. I found lots of information, primarily regarding my family of Christies. Billie http://www.rootsweb.com/~chalkley/index.htm http://www.webroots.org/phpdig/index.php

Hi... I was wondering if someone in FL could help me...I no longer live in FL..I live in PA...so I need some help. I was looking at Ancestry.com death index for states and came across a Florida Death Index for Jake Hersey. It has him dying in Nov of 1963. Here is what I found: Florida Death Index 1877-1998 > > Name: Jake Alcany Hersey Sr > Volume: 2515 > Certificate: 46864 > Place: Alachua > Race: W > Gender: M > Death Date: Nov 1963 So if this is true, he died in Nov 1963 in FL....could I ask someone to look this up and maybe somehow find a death record or something? I also have his former wife dying the same month and year. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks, Stephanie Grohol

I've heard or read somewhere that the Scottish Highlanders came to help the Americans during the American Revolution. Since I'm researching my Scottish ancestors, (McElvy and various spellings) I'm certain that more info on this subject will be helpful. Does anyone know where I can find more info?

This includes Walter Walsh, the original Walsh, married to Frances Vickers, and any of their descendants. I am writing a book on the early Concord settlers and would like to obtain copies of your ancestors' pictures, handwriting, wills, pictures of jewelry or other personal possessions. The book is primarily to be a pictorial history so the photos of the earliest generations will not be lost. I still need photos of Jordan Walsh, Miles "Cap" Walsh, Big Miles Walsh, Little Miles Walsh, Edward "Ned" Walsh, Benjamin Hill Walsh, Ray Kermit Walsh, Pasco Walsh, and their wives if any, children, on down. I have photos of Patrick Henry Walsh, Walter Walsh, Jr. and their wives. Have all of Patrick's children, most of Walter's children, but looking for the rest.

You are correct, Winnett, you can pull up the marriage. What has been removed is the birthdates of the individuals. I believe it is a state law that is causing this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg And Winnette" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 10:46 AM Subject: [FLORIDA] correct URL to Leon Co.

Well it certainly seems to me that if living people applying for marriage licenses are published in the newspapers, then these old pre-1900 marriages could be available. Thanks for your input Peggy.
