The genealogy section of this site is now in a much more
finished form as regards the information than when started at the end of the
summer of 1998. Most of the notes in the Generation Reports have now been
augmented, source information has been provided as endnotes to the reports, and
most items have been spell checked. However, there are still lines to be
added and information yet to be added to lines present. Most Generation
Reports omit the data for recent generations. The data is available in
many cases; however, it was decided not to post it to the web.
The main surnames of interest at present are:
Blount, Chandler,
Kalshoven, LaMartin, Martin, Parker, Raulerson, Stafford, Underhill,
Walker, Willingham,
and
Wyatt

Generation Reports
Here is where the descent
charts for the lines we follow are located. Most Generation Reports omit the
data for recent generations. The data is available in many cases;
however, it was decided not to post it to the web.
Much of this material was
compiled by Bobbie LaMartin Wilson (BW) and Kyle VanLandingham
(KV), with a small contribution by
William LaMartin (WL). The Raulerson material is mostly due to
Virgil
Raulerson, who passed away October 18,2009. His obituary, which
appeared in the Florida Times Union, may be viewed
here. The individual most
qualified to answer a question on a particular line is indicated following
each surname, e.g., (BW) for Bobbie LaMartin Wilson. Kyle VanLandingham is now deceased as of November 2009. His obituary, which
appeared in the Tampa Tribune and Okeechobee News may be
viewed
here.

Documents as Graphic Images
These are images of the original documents.
They have been reduced in size so as to fit on a standard 8.5 x 11 page if
printed from a graphics program--not from your browser. The resolution,
however, has been maintained so as to allow for better quality printing of the
file as well as online viewing. Unfortunately this creates a fairly large
file, requiring some time to download. The collection is small now but will, I
am sure, grow.
If you should desire to print out a copy, it would be
better to download the file (in Internet Explorer, right click on the link and
choose the option "Save Target As...") and open it in a graphics program for
printing. Printing from your Internet browser never produces good results for
these large graphics files.
