Greetings, I am the new
coordinator for Hamilton
County, Florida; my name is Darrel R. Bell. I live in Suwannee County,
Florida and I'm originally from Lafayette County; however I have
Ancesteral
ties to Hamilton County. I'm in the process of gathering as
much information as I can and if nothing else I'll be able to provide
Look-Up
Capabilities from information that cannot be placed on this web site.
I ask you to bear with me, while I prepare an exciting web site for one of the many Pioneer Gateways, that was used in the the early 1800's for pioneer's coming into the Florida Territory and later the State of Florida. At the bottom of the page you will find e-mails and links provided to further aide you in your research. I am always open for comments, suggestions and request. I'm pleased to announce that Mike Jones will be assisting with the Hamilton County Web Site, as the Assistant County Coordinator. Also, Regina M. Henderson will be assisting with the Courthouse and other local lookups. So I think we have a viable research team and hope to provide more info. THE FLORIDA GENWEB PROJECT In 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Florida GenWeb Project, modeled after a project originally started in the state of Kentucky. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Florida, where collected databases and information on genealogy in the state could be stored. At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of data. It is our aim and desires to maintain the standards that were set forth in providing free access for geanealogy researchers. I share this goal to the upmost. As the FLGenWeb State Coordinator it is my responsibility to ensure that this County and all other County Web Sites maintain a high degree of information for our internet visitors. Should viewer have the desire to a volunteer, we are in need of look-up volunteers, census and headstone transcribers. For more information click on the above highligted link. Look-up Volunteers Needed Please remember I don't live in Hamilton County. Therefore, unfortunately, I'll be unable to do many special request look-ups. I would like to enlist volunteers who live in Hamilton County and have available materials who, and who are willing to do lookups for people. Please, if you can do this let me know. Please put HAMILTON FL VOLUNTEER in the subject box. Please view the information pertaining to: LOOK-UPS.
