I am a 5th generation Floridian. Born in Lakeland, Polk, FL, grew up in or around Lakeland, Plant City, Dover and Tampa.
Started doing genealogy in 1972.
Genealogy is an ongoing journey. My husband asks "when will you be done with that" and I tell him "when I'm lying in my grave". Now have my oldest granddaughter interested, so she will carry on.
My main lines are Cumbie, Gauldin, Williams, Ellison, Platt, Polk, Roberts,and Gornto, but have info on many names having over 13,000 names listed in my files.
