have lived here in Orlando, Florida sence my family moved here where I
was 6 in 1954. Any help or advice that you could offer me in locating the
names of my ancestors would be appreciated. My gf was Carl E. Thompson,
my ggf was Ramzi Thompson, and my gggf was Jacob. I remember going to an
old family cemetary on top of a hill on Chestnyt ridge many years ago but
most of the grave stones or wood markers were gone. I look forward to
