Hi Kind Listers I need help to start my family research. I've reached my great grand father and I can't find any information for him. Here is what I know from the oral information from my Papa Jones, William B. Jones, his other name is Jack. Robert Jessie JONES was born 17 February 1888 and I know from dad that he died in May 1960. My grandmother has searched for his death records but she found nothing and we know he died in Brooker, Florida May 1960 and is supposed to be buried in Dedan Cemetery in Bradford County. Robert was married to Lottie Mae Jones and they lived in Brooker for many years once he stopped following the crops from state to state when he retired. Lottie Mae/May was born 30 March 1900 Florence, MS, maiden name was Mathias or Matthias. She died 14 February 1971. I am a 14 year old searching with Granny's help to find my family. Any one who knows anything may email my granny at: sjc2108@wmconnect.com I'm staying with her this summer. TIA Mikie Jones
You will find the cemetery listing here for Robert and his wife: http://www.rootsweb.com/~flbradfo/Cemetery/DedanCem.html If you do not know his parents names, you may order a copy of his death certificate from Florida Vital Statistics in Jacksonville for $5.00 and if the informant knew the names they would be on the certificate.
