GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH
We would be happy to assist you in your family research.  We have among our membership competent researchers who can assist you.

What we can furnish you is a sourced (if available) family tree.  We have access to a multitude of research options.  Depending on your family's immigration history, we may be able to trace lineage back to the Civil War, Revolutionary War, Jamestown, and the Mayflower.

Our primary researcher is a past president of the local Sons of the American Revolution chapter, past governor of the local Jamestowne Society, and member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas, National Society of Washington Family Descendants and the Military Order of the Stars and Bars. 
What we ask of you is a donation of $200.00. 

The Process:
Before payment, send us a brief family tree
     1.  Your name and spouse
     2.  Your parent's names with dates of birth and death (if applicable) and location
     3.  Your grand-parent's names with dates of birth and death and locations if known

We can take it from there

We will then get back to you with whether or not we have a viable family tree.  If viable, we will collect payment and continue with the lineage sourcing and documentation.

Baptist Churrch Sunday To Mark 30th Anniversary

​

PAHOKEE-- Thr Pahokee First Baptist Church will observe its 30th anniverasry at a special service Sunday at 1:30 pm, with the public invited.

     When the church was organized in 1922 the first service was held in the community church building on Bacom Point, with the Rev. A. J. York as first pastor.  The Rev. E. M.C. Dunkin, Okeechobee, preached the first sermon.  Of the 24 charter members only one, Mrs. Gene Butler.,is still an active member.

     The abnniversary service will be preceded by a fellowship dinner on the church grounds.  Interesting sidelights on the early history of the church will be given, including a description of the colorful preacher-missionary, "Brother Dunkin," who rode  to Pahokee on horseback to preach the first sermon.

​

The story of the construction of the first church building by the men of the congregation in four days will also be told.  The church has since used two other buildings as places of worship and a campaign is now underway to raise funds tfor the erection of a fourth structure in keeping with  the membership growth.

     The first pastor, the Rev. A. J. York, was followed by the Rev. Cecil and the Rev. Nolte, and these were followed by the Revs. E. L. Williamson, Earl Lewis, W. C. Taylor, S. . Rennicks, James P. Rodgers, Jack Dalton, Spencer Beard, Carl A. Moberg, Hoke H. Shirley and the present pastor, the Rev. W. Hal Hunter, formerly of Jacksonville, who took over his charge in Pahikee last fall.
