We have a set of microfilm at our library that can also be found at other Florida larger libraries and at the Florida State Archives. It was done from typed index cards that Bob Hawk found at the back of a file drawer at the Arsenal in St. Augustine when he was director there. These cards were prepared from WPA interviews. I had been told they were complete, and I just checked a roll at random. It contained information on veteran burials (mostly Civil War) in Gilchrist, Walton, and Marion Counties. The rolls are alphabetical by soldier. Sorry, I can't do a lot of look-ups, but you may want to check with your local library. I believe that libraries can purchase a set of the films from the archives. Linda Pazics Kleback Genealogy Specialist Bay County Public Library
