Beverly, Perhaps the Genealogical Society of Collier County, P.O. Box 7933, Naples, FL 33941-7933, can help. They have a web page at <http://www.naples.net/clubs/geneosoc.htm>.

Hi Abby, The gentleman listed below may be able to help you find something on Dr. PIGG. Chris Kimball <flyingsquirrels@mpinet.net> Good luck and good hunting, Marta Metcalf mailto:mmetcalf@vol.com http://earth.vol.com/~mmetcalf/

Hi Abby, Do you have an approximate date of when Dr. Pigg was in Kissimmee? I don't remember ever seeing his name in anything that I have read on Kissimmee but I will watch for it in the future.

Thanks to the List I was able to find her on the SSDI. Now, I would like to ask if there is anyone who would do a look up in the local newspaper for her obituary?? She was born 10 May 1891 and she died in November 1983 in Naples, Collier County, Florida. She lived at 975 - 6th Street, Naples, Fl. I wrote there and was advised that the house had been razed and condominiums built on the site. Any way I can look this up myself through Rootsweb? I went into Rootsweb but could find very little on Collier County. I believe she was born in Texas and would hope that the obituary might confirm this and give clues as to relatives, etc. Thanks for any help you can give. Beverly

I know there is no index for the 1935 FL State census. My question is this - if I know the street address of my family in Miami in 1935, will I be able to find them in the Dade County section in 2 or 3 hours (instead of 2 or 3 days)? Is there a state census for 1915 and 1925 and ditto about knowing family's address? Thanks for any information. Judy

Dear List, I am looking for any information on Dr. Buford PIGG family rumors are that he was the first white doctor to work with the Seminole Indians he lived in Kissimmiee (spelling) if anyone has any information I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Abby Allen Chamberlain Surnames: ALLEN CHAMBERLAIN STEVENS WARREN PIGG LUNDBERG BARRIE

Judy, According to Ann S. Lainhart's STATE CENSUS RECORDS, no original (state census) records for 1905, 1915, or 1925 have been found. Sorry, I don't have an answer for your questions about ease of locating family if you have street address. Kathleen Marsh kmarsh@innet.com

Is there anyone who could tell me how to find an obituary for Jesse KEITHLY who lived in Naples, Florida for years. Believe she died late 70's or early 80's. Trying to find death date, cemetery and any info on her relatives. Maiden name was either BRISCOE or EPPERSON. Thanks for help. Beverly

If you get an advertisement from someone by the name of Bonnie Mansfield, 430 #1 Rick Court, Ridgecrest, CA 93555, offering to sell you "never before published information" on family histories and DAR records for ONLY $25.00 - don't bite! I did and I am so angry at myself I could scream. I'm not usually one to fall for scams, but believe me I bit on this one hook, line, and sinker! What I got for my 25 bucks was 2 folders with hand written sheets giving me last names, book numbers, and in some cases page numbers. BUT, if you want to see what information is in each of those "histories" you have to send an additional $3 to a different person. Oh well, serves me right - I know better than to trust everything I hear and read. You might pass this info on to everyone you know. She got my $25, but I don't want her to get anyone elses.

The greater Zephyrhills area is the Winter resort for a large number of visitors from the colder northern states and Canada. The local population near triples in the Winter. The bulk of the local population is retiree as well. There are many trailer parks in the area which is implied by "#8 Park Drive". The area has two large local newspapers the Tampa Tribune and the Saint Petersburg Times. There are two small local newspapers the Zephyrhills News and the Zephyrhills Sun (part of Pasco News). If there were obituaries, then the larger papers would be the best choice for searching. However, there is a fee for posting the obituary which often limits coverage. The West Coast Crematory is not listed in the Zephyrhills phone book, but five others are listed. Correct there is no Stephen Carle in the phone book. I might suggest that you try to obtain a death certificate for the Florida Department of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville, FL. It might identify a local funeral home director and one who provide information about Lenore. Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County and well over an hours drive away. I hope this information helps, Tom Santa Cruz Zephyrhills, FL

I am looking for a first half-cousin, Clarence Buford Sherwood, Jr., who may be living in the Tallahassee area. We are working on our Sherwood family tree and haven't heard from him in ages. He is the grandson of Cason Sherwood, Sr. of Macon, GA. Can anyone please lead me to him? Jennifer Sherwood Braswell

I remember the letters in the exchange, too, in Georgia. I was born in 1953, and our exchange in Macon, Georgia was SH (74) and it stood for Sherwood which is my surname! My name was on every page in the phonebook!

Hello Florida! Can anyone help me to identify a location in Zephyrhills, Florida. I have a death certificate from a maternal great aunt named Lenore M. Bertelsen that shows her place of death as "# 8 Park Drive, Zephyrhills," on 8-24-1982. Apparently she died without any heirs. The attorney who handled her affairs was named Stephen Carle 518 18th Street, Zephyrhills, FL . He is no longer listed. The crematory that handled her ashes was named "West Coast Crematory, Clearwater, FL." Apparently they are out of business too. Does anyone recognize any of these location or names? Can anyone give me an idea where to look for records? I already have a death certificate from the state. I'm also at a loss trying to determine which paper might have picked up her obituary and most of them down there want at least $60.00 to search their archives with no guarantee of a result. I called down there a while back and since I find a local library in my area that carries the local paper from down there, I'm stuck. I'd appreciate any help that comes my way. Thanks, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA
