On (1): if you call the Palm Beach Library, they'll be glad to do lookups for you ... for a fee. (pout) On (2): I've had good luck approaching the men's clubs for details - especially the tight knit ones like the Elks. I'm usually passed to the Secretary since they keep the memberhip records. Good Luck!

Hello listers, I'm researching my great Uncle William Alley WALL. b 10/12/1904 in OK d 11/1991 in Brevard Co, FL He spent most of his life living in the West Palm Beach area. I think he moved there in 1929 and live there until about 1988. He worked at Crane Plumbing Company, he was the Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks club - 1961, President of the Kiwanis Club, President of the Chamber of Commerce. I have 2 questions... 1-Is there anyone available to lookup his Obit (I believe it would've made the local paper), or possibly other articles on him like when he was elected to the top position at the Elks club? I'd be willing to compensate for any costs involved. 2-Has anyone gotten info out of the Elks, Kiwanis or Chamber of Commerce? Like photos or newsletter articles? Do you have contact info?

I was born in West Palm Beach FL in the late 40's but my parents moved to Miami when I was still an infant. My fondest memories as a child was when we went to visit Uncle Don (DONALD H. BRUTTON and Aunt Helen on Granada Rd. in West Palm. Their home was like a movie set to me with a long sweeping staircase to the second floor of many bedrooms and a sitting room filled with overstuffed chairs and plump pillows. The scent of new fabric always filled the air from Aunt Helen's favorite hobby. The other woman of the house was Aunt Helen's mother, LEORA SAPP MARCH, better known as "BaBa" or the "Palm Beach GRANDMA MOSES." She painted in oil from dawn til dusk unless it was time to make more of her famous Orange Marmelade. She was up in years when I first saw her wrinkled but nimble hands. It was hard for me to visualize this frail grandmother as the young woman in a old faded photo: dressed in men's britches standing in the middle of a muddy street in Kokomo, Indiana smoking a cigar! Aunt Helen's children, by her first marriage, were DIANA and DICK BANKS. My cousins-in-law. Both a bit older, Diana was an aspiring dancer and soon whisked herself off to New York. Dick, on the other hand, was an artist (eventually of reknown) who would jump into a small row boat and create paintings of the mansions lining the waterways. He would tie up his dingy and present the owner with the custom portait of their home. By the 70's, he was known for painting the portrait of Rose KENNEDY. Uncle Don BRUTTON was a successful real estate man but what he was really known for... was inside the trunk of his car. Not one, but two, fishing rods and tackle boxes, so that he could, at any time, race off to the ONE MILE PIER and throw in a line. The second set of gear? Just in case someone wanted to go with him! It broke my heart when the pier was cut in half by a hurricane. Best fishing on the East Coast. West Palm Beach was a quiet, peaceful town with the hint of sea air always a breath away. A steady gentle breeze always seemed ready to spare you from the heat but so many trees canopied the roadways and courtyards, you were never really uncomfortable. The ceilings of homes were high; the windows always allowed for a cross breeze. And there was always time for fishing... That's some of my memories of Palm Beach Co, Fla. I wish others would put to text some of their fondest memories of the area. Renee H. Greene

(tapping on microphone) Hello... testing one... two... Is it quiet in here? Or is it me? * blink * (grin) OK, I've been lurking... I'll admit it. I'm one of those fanatical genealogy research people... searching for HENDRYs who lived in Palm Beach Co, FL. For starters, one ellusive couple was a: FRANCIS HENDRY who married MINNIE SEGERSTROM in 1925/6 in Palm Beach County. There were numerous HENDRYs living in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach during the 40's and we are attempting to document them. Any suggestions, help would be appreciated. Thank you, Renee Hendry Greene

I am hoping to swap research efforts with someone in West Palm Beach. My great grandfather, John Wesley ELWOOD, lived there with his daughter Emily M. ELWOOD HOLLINGER, until his death in 1944. I was hoping to find a listing in the 1944 phone book for one or both of them. I live in Lakeland and frequently visit the Orange Co. Librarys' wonderful genealogy collection in Orlando and would be happy to reciprocate.

Hi, I'm Renee Hendry Greene - and I've been working with several HENDRY family researchers on ALL the HENDRY lines. Palm Beach have proved to be one of the hardest areas to research for so many alledged "different" lines crisscrossed there - especially in the 30's and 40's. ......................................................... Took the day off and wandered over to Palm Beach Co FLORIDA courthouse and stirred a few cobwebs: MARRIAGES in Palm Beach Co, FLA: John HENDRY md. Alice SANDS 26 Feb 1921 Samuel R. HENDRY md. Violet B. WRIGHT 22 Dec 1923 Francis HENDRY md. Minnie SEGERSTROM 29 Jan 1925 Norman C. HENDRY md. Elsie M. DAVISON 11 Jan 1926 Mildred Marie HENDRY md. Joe. E. BROWN 25 Dec 1931 John W. HENDRY md. Mary Williams BARNES 14 Dec 1934 Rupert HENDRY md. Lola Lee PATRICK 31 Dec 1934 Lola HENDRY md. T. J. MEGAHEE 13 Sep 1938 Robert HENDRY md. Thelma COX 23 Oct 1938 Pearl HENDRY md. Joseph Allen KORT 11 Sep 1941 Addison HENDRYX md. Edith BADGER 13 May 1943 David Earl HENDRY md. Helen Victoria ARMOLE 26 Jan 1948 Gloria Marie HENDRY md. Harlan Edson PRITCHARD 20 Sep 1946 ............................................................ Now, I've probably worked more on the Fla. HENDRY line than most - and I don't RECOGNIZE *any* of these - meaning (1) we haven't discovered the connection yet - or (2) they are from OTHER HENDRY lines. (grin) Anything look familiar?

I am posting this to warn others about problems with ; Census Microfilm Expeditors 476 E. South Temple , Suite 4 Salt Lake City , UT 84111 website ; www.censusmicrofilm.com e-mail ; gme@nwinfo.net and ; sj@censusmicrofilm.com I was lured to order several microfilm copies from this company with "guarantees" of "speedy delivery" and "low price" . My order was placed in October of 1998 and as of this posting I have not received the order or a refund after numerous contacts with Steven Jensen at this firm . In his occasional replies he repeatedly gave false information to me as to the status of the order and cashed the check when mentioned stopping payment on it .I have copies of all documents and correspondences for those interested . Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau and the United States Postal Inspectors , they have informed me that even they can't order this company to give a refund , but may seek criminal charges . I guess small claims court is next . If you are seeking genealogy resources......consider my experiences with this "Firm". Thank you , Kenneth Sartin researching ; Sartin , Sartain , Sarton , Sarten , Sardin etc. etc.
