Author: Beverly Kay Mott Date: 14 Feb 2006 6:10 PM GMT Email: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Forwarded to me by a local researcher --- On Friday I visited the library in Bartow. I was informed they have been trying to form a committee for a Polk County Heritage Book. They told me they have had 2 meetings and not one person showed up for the meetings. They will have one more meeting and if they get no response they will not do the book. There are enough of us to get the book off the ground and published. I say lets go for it. Here is what I am asking you to do. Please contact everyone you know family & friends who have root in Polk County. It will be a lot of work but it will be worth while in preserving our Polk Families. Please jump on the wagon and lets help. Meeting Time & Place: Tuesday, April 4, 2006 @1:00 Polk County Historical & Genealogical Library Bartow ======================================================================== ============ try contacting Joe Spann for more info... http://www.polk-county.net/county_offices/leisure_svcs/hist_library/contact.aspx Historical Library Contact Information Title Name and e-mail link Phone Library Manager Joe Spann (form online) (863) 534-4380 T: 863-534-4380 F: 863-534-4382 Physical Address: 100 E.

I was visiting a ancient graveyard next to the Barge Canal in Merritt Island and came across a grave marker for a Patti Anders Larson. It was unique gravemarker with an interesting saying. I thought I saw a Larson in the mail list. Any descendant from this Larson? Can you tell me anything about her?

This message is cross referenced. I am trying to locate a Ann Rusk Shadwell. I found postings on the Gen Forum but they were from 1999. Her postings show that we are related. Her grandparents were Watt Patrick Kelly and Eva Lee Hawkins. VA/FL/GA Her mother Evelyn R. Kelly Rusk is the sister of my grandfather Lester A. Kelly. Siblings were Flossie, Eva, Evelyn, Watt Jr. Sarah. If anyone knows ANN RUSK SHADWELL or her whereabouts, please notify me. I do not know what her age would be today but I am surmising possible 60-70. I need to contact her and these lists are my only hope. Thank you all. Peggy

Hi list, the above site has recently been updated with various records covering Settlement,Bastardy,Apprentice,Removal etc. Derbyshire based it contains many names of folks from other counties who for one reason or another had a connection ,however tenuous with Derbyshire. It may be you have no Derbyshire connections, I expect most of you will not have, however a lot of you will have English ancestors and the above site will give you an idea of just what may be found in certain documents in English Record Offices. And you never know what you may find. It may just be your lost Uncle Jack is here. ! Yesterday Journey located at; http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm mike
