    3. Please I need help in connecting Frank Edward Winslett born on December 25, 1895 to his family. The following is all I can give you at this time other than to say there another Frank Edward Winslett that was born in April 1895 and I have traced him and he is not my line. Frank Edward Winslett was living at 1350 Miles Road Augusta, GA on June 5, 1917 according to his WW I Draft registration card when he met Nancy Geneva Hadden and they married on September 6, 1917 in Augusta, Richmond County, GA. Also according to his draft card he was born on December 25, 1895 in Greene County, GA. Nancy Geneva Hadden Winslett gave birth to their daughter, Mary Edna on June 3, 1921 and Geneva died on June 6, 1921 and Frank left the hospital = and no one ever heard from him again. According to Geneva's funeral records a telegram was sent to G. H. Winslett in Social Circle, GA. = notifying them of her death. Edna has never seen a picture or head from her father, my grandmother raise Edna.Nancy Geneva Hadden was my = mother's older sister. Edna is still living and I would like to connect her to her father before she dies. The next time I can find Frank Edward Winslett is in Lake Wales, Polk County, FL where he has married Ora Lee Landress sometime between 1921 = and 1931. Frank died on January 21, 1931 in Lake Wales, FL and is buried there. I have contacted the funeral home that handled the funeral and = they will not give me any information. I have found out Frank was shot by his wife's brother which was prominent family in that town at the time. I have a copy of Frank's death certificate which is little to no = help at all where it ask for father's name there is a check mark and same for mother's name, place of birth says Athens, GA. I have = contacted Jacksonville, Fl for a copy of the marriage certificate, that is where Polk County vitals are filed, but so far I have not heard from = them. Also, Athens, GA did not require birth certificates until 1919 so I am out of luck there. Any help or suggestions you can give me on connecting Frank Edward Winslett to his family would be very much appreciated. Oh, by the way = there are TWO Frank Edward Winslett, the other Frank was born on April 25, 1895. Thank you in advance, Margie Puckett King
