I knew a Gene Whiddon in Ft. Lauderdale; he died several years ago. I understand his son still runs the family business...Causeway Lumber Co., in Ft. Lauderdale. Also, I believe his wido still lives there. You might try "Who's Where" or look up Causeway in the Yellow Pages. Goood luck...Joe Clawges

I am still hoping to connect with some one researching Wilson C. Williams and son Fletcher Williams on the 1880 census in Sumter Co. Fl. Bobbye

There is a folder of "Whiddon-Whidden" obits at the Quintilla Geer Bruton Archives, at the 1914 High School. in Plant City, FL. The "obits" were donated to the QGBA and I did an index of all the names in the obits. The folder is in the family files cabinet. Betty

HI, Not all scanners have Transparency adapters or the ability to do negitives. Try a 35mm copier that does Neg/Slides and some even do Micro type films & Fiches. See computer shopper Mag. it will help or do a search on the net. Any pictures that you want to save and you don't have a negative make one / use a photo copier. It attaches to a camera as does most len's connect. All this is not complcated if you can read. Dwight Stipes > From: Billie M.

There are Whiddon's in Gadsden Co, FL. Go to the Gadsden County Web Page and look at the queries. Also, contact Benny Raffield at bennyr@digitalexp.com. He is researching the Whiddon family. Liz Gerlits (Deretha Elizabeth Yon Gerlits) Palm Bay, FL

We had a question about LDS family history centers recently. Here is a site that I think is new and may help. It is new to me and looks as tho' it presents many opportunities for research. <A HREF="http://lds-online.com/family.htm">Click here: Family History</A> In case you don't want to click. The URL is: http://lds-online.com/family.htm Happy hunting, Bonnie in Panama City

Thanks to all you kind people who took time to email me that Roseland is in Indian River, Co. I put the counties into my family tree and needed one for this cousin-in-law. All is taken care of now! Thanks to "you all." Bonnie

Hi, I too am from NY and now live in Florida. Yes there is a Florida list at rootsweband also lists for the various counties here. FLORIDA-L@rootsweb.com. We are a friendly group down here!

Hi, I can't find Roseland, FL in my road atlas, but I'm assured that it existed in the early 1900's. Can someone tell me which county it was/is in? Thanks, Bonnie

There are 35mm slide scanners out there... Check your local camera shop. RW

Susann This is not my line...but my husband had a great aunt, Belle Parker, who married a Edward WHIDDON who would have been born about 1850-60.... They lived in the Taylor / Jefferson County, FL area. We have no information on his heritage... but you may want to look at census records in those areas for any possible connections. A great number of people who work for the railroad and other industries lived in this area of FL before moving westward to the panhandle and AL. Their children were named : Parker -(m) Edward,Jr. - (m) Mamie -(f) Simmie - (f) Mollie - (f) Hattie (f) This is all the information I have on this group... Good Luck, Deborah ----------

Hi -I have been reading all the excellent information about scanning family pictures and would like to inquire if anyone knows what the "adapter" is that can be used on a flatbed scanner HP5pc. I rather doubt there is one since I could not find anything listed on their web site. Being faced with the delimma of 100plus excellent 50 year old 35 mm slides, I must decide the most cost-effective and feasible way of handling them. It seems this topic may have been dealt with, but unfortunately being a deleter, it is gone. Any suggestions, comments, etc would be appreciated. I am about two notches above the novice level, but I can scan!!! Billie Please visit my Web Site-we may have families in common. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/w/e/Billie-M-Sweat/index.html
