CENTRAL FLORIDA HISTORY

 

          I am proud to be a 10^th generation Floridian, and have always been fascinated with our local history.   Over the years, I have amassed quite a collection of documents and notes.  And, I decided the best (and probably easiest) way to share this material would be to post it on the internet.  I really appreciate the free hosting offered by Rootsweb, and would encourage anyone to take the opportunity this affords.

 

Please feel free to email me with any questions, comments, or suggestions!
