My future plans include many genealogical research trips, and the completion of two books, begun many years ago. I will also be co-authoring a second book with Bill Mills about the burnt earth of crafts and sawmills on Escambia and Blackwater Bays, before the withdrawal of Confederate troops from Northwest Florida. Genealogists interested in authoring the column are encouraged to submit your resume. Include a brief biography, noting your experience in genealogy research, names of genealogical societies you belong to, and any writing experience you may have. Guest speaker will be John Appleyard , local historian and author of historical mystery novels.
Visitors are welcome.
Bring your pedigree charts and family group sheets. Also, there will be a tour of the facilities at the Downtown Library on Saturday, April 10, 1999. You will be shown how to use the microfilm machines, and introduced to the many WFGS genealogy, reference books, and films housed there.
