Hi list, searching for the BARNES line in Brevard, and Hillsboro area. Any info or others searching this line? Nicole Barnes n.barnes@mindspring.com

First, let me apologize to those of you we just didn't have time to do research for. Also, there were more "no records" than we had hoped for. I hope what little we found will help. Please, the info is copied directly from the record. Misprints or incomplete information is because that's all that was given for that record. Here goes: Kay - DMatt61035 Henry Thomas Williams white male 27 years old born Hillsborough, S.C. lived in Tampa, Bayshore Road.

Hi everyone, My name is Brenda, and I'm new to the list. I'm hoping someone can help me with a short story of sorts I found in my gggrandfather's bible. Some of if I cannot make out. The story says: 200 feet east of this highway is the tomb of Mary Wyatt Whitaker. Born in Talahassie Flu, 1831.Daughter of Wm. Wyatt, member of convention which gone to state of Flu its first constitution. Mother of first white child born in what is now Sarasota county 1852. 300 yards west of this highway stood her home which was burned by indians 1856, from whom she fled for safety with her child to a Palmetto Bay fort on manaty river. (Not sure of spelling or fort or river). Erected 1936 by Sara De (unable to make out) chapter DAR. I hope someone can help shed some light on this story. Thanks for any help. Brenda in VA hackett@monumental.com

To Kay1912, I noticed you're researching Infinger. My father, John Calvin Yon, b. 1910 in Graceville, Jackson Co, FL 1st m. Evelyn Infinger/Enfinger in Holmes Co in 1930. They had a son, J.E. Yon, b. and d. July 8, 1932. I believe he is buried in Pilgrim Rest Cemetery in Jackson Co. John and Evelyn divorced/separated (?) by 1940. Were they divorced? When? Where? What does J.E. stand for? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Liz Gerlits (Deretha Elizabeth Yon Gerlits) Palm Bay, FL

Before I knew my gr/grandfather Andrew J. Wilson was born in Ireland in 1861 (from what I can tell considering the little I have on him) I used a free database on the internet to find information on Andrew J. Wilson's who fought in the Civil War, found one who seemed to match, and sent to NARA for the info. I have this info which I will send in another mail, but I only WISH this was mine because , wow, it would be so helpful. (If I can't find something on my Andrew J. soon , I may resort to adopting this one into the family.... ) Here is what I did, and what you can do.... (1) Go to American Civil War Research and Genealogy Database at http://www.civilwardata.com/ and click on free demo (I did not pay the $25 fee, I used the free section). Then go down to Personnel , which is free. Then use your surname and first name and I put in NY State as I knew that was where my Andrew J. was. Once you do that all the matches come up, and for me there were 4 Andrew J. Wilsons there, Then you click on the names and see the details. I saw one was from Brooklyn, and so I thought he was a good candidate. (2) I previously had gotten copies of all kinds of request forms from NARA (you might want to read Civil War Records at NARA http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/civilwar.html first, and order a few copies of NATF-80 by emailing them at inquire2@nara.gov tell them what form you want and give them your snail address and they will send them to you free). (3) Fill out the form. You must have complete name, branch of service, state from which he served, year or dates in which he served, union or confederate (if you already know this info skip step 1). It also helps, but you do not have to have unit in which he served, date and place of birth, date and place of death and some other military info. (4) Send the form to the Washington DC address on the form. Send no money. It takes about 3 months and if they find it they write and tell you to send them $10 and they will send you the complete file. (I actually sent in two, as there was one Andrew J. in Brooklyn and one elsewhere in NY, one came back "not found" and I got one, remember what I had previously written about NARA and the 22 minute search, if I still thought that one could have been my Andrew I would have called and questioned that as I had detailed info on him I found on that site). (5) When you get the info, you might get his war record, his pension record, and his widow's pension record. That is what I got, wonderful info, unfortunately its not my Andrew J. Wilson. But if it was, boy, would I be in luck! Here is another site to read up on if you are thinking about doing this....

Deborah, There has been much written about David Levy Yulee in Florida histories. Briefly, he is said to have been of Portuguese and Jewish descent, born in St. Thomas, the West Indies. He was an early settler in (then) Hernando County, Florida, at Homosassa. His plantation contained about 1,000 acres of cleared land, with a sugar mill, storerooms, and slave quarters. The main house was located on an island in the Homosassa River. A Union force attacked and burned the Yulee mansion and outbuildings during the Civil War, perhaps because supplies such as sugar, syrup, and fruit were known to be sent from there north to Confederate forces There are several manuscripts about David Yulee that I have heard of. One is by James Alderman--"David Levy Yulee, Antebellum Florida Leader, 1810-1866"--Master's Thesis, Chapel Hill, NC, 1946. Another, by Wickliffe Yulee, is "Biographical Sketch of David Yulee." I suspect a copy of that could be found at the State Library of Florida in Tallahassee. You may find more at the Florida State Archives at <http://www.dos.state.fl.us/dlis/barm/fsa2.html#research>. Kathleen Marsh kmarsh@innet.com

I recently launched a new site, http://www.jodenoy.clara.net/dealers/freebies.htm?fl , that features programs we have found to help us use our computer more efficiently in our research. Including ones to speed up the PC, get faster web access , search 10 search engines at once and a link to Kindred Konnections free genealogy software. All can be downloaded totally free of charge and used without restriction. The number of visitors and positive feedback has encouraged me to develop the site. I have uploaded some more links which include: NETMIND You can either receive notification of any amendments to the web pages you register, or have the amended pages sent to you automatically. Saves hours on line and keeps you totally up to date. GEDCOM VIEWER Gedcom Viewer opens a Gedcom format file, exported from your Genealogy program, and displays the full family single screen, even for hundreds of people. You can display Name, Birthdate, etc., find individuals, calculate and show inbreeding levels, zoom, etc. There is also a link to Dave Wilks' free gedcom server; where you can upload your gedcom. PARISH LOCATOR (approx 1.1mb) Over 15,000 parishes are listed in the United Kingdom and Ireland. For each parish the county and the map reference is given. Counties are identified using Chapman's county codes and we have provided a list of the codes for anyone unfamiliar with them. It is possible using the software to calculate the distance and direction between two given parishes. Also you can list all parishes within a given radius of any parish. An excellent tool for UK research. I hope the site is useful and I welcome any feedback. John Oyston

Well, that makes more sense than Citrus Co. My great Grandfather was a Superintendent for National Lead Company (formerly Buckman and Pritchard) in 1917 - in Mineral City.
