Dr. Lyons is working on translating
the old ship manifests and this will help us identify at what
point the Solanas' and the Sanchez' first landed in St.Augustine.
This is the beginning of a grand
story and hope many of you will be involved with unraveling the
mystery. We will need all the help we can get verifying information
between our genealogical sources and the Cathedral Records. The
research committee will meet the 3rd Saturday of each month at
10:00 at the Historical Society's Research Library. Please join
us and help with the effort.

 The
research committee under the capable leadership of Ann Masters
has outlined goals for the next year. They are:
- Identify the names of the early
settlers who stayed after the British takeover of St. Augustine
in 1763.
- Identify the Families who returned
to St. Augustine from Cuba at the Beginning of the Second Spanish
Period.
- Verify existing genealogies
with the Cathedral Parrish Records at the Historical Society
Library.

Our March meeting is scheduled for
March 3, at 10:00 am. We will meet as usual at Oscar's Old Florida
Grill. Hope everyone will stay and enjoy a wonderful lunch and
share old family stories.
At the meeting this month we will discuss genealogical research
goals and gather data from our attending members. It would help
if everyone can bring information on parents, grandparents, and
immediate family, updated with the current generation. We usually
have the old generational info but forget to update all the new
additions to our families. |

Memberships are available as follows: (Please make your check

functions. Memberships will run from January thru December of
each year. |
