Genealogical Reference, Wakulla County, Florida
                  A Self-Help Instrument for Queries

This reference containing entries for some 5,000 persons of earlier
generations is presented as an aid to genealogists. It refers a
researcher to an existing genealogy or genealogies covering a subject
individual—book-and-page.  It was compiled by systematic gleaning from
the 35 genealogies obtained to date by the Wakulla County Historical
Society or the Wakulla County Public Library. While there presently is
no single repository of these works where a researcher might have
access to all the cited genealogies, it is the desire of the Historical
Society to see such a place provided in the future.
The reference does not, itself, give genealogy for a subject
person—beyond life-span data found in the genealogies surveyed. The
reference is limited to coverage of persons of Wakulla County, Florida,
or its borders, and limited largely to persons born before 1935. The
arrangement of the entries is simply alphabetical—surnames primary,
with given-names alphabetized subordinately. Since there are surnames
occurring once or very few times, as maiden names or married surnames
for women, that are not given their own surname place in the
alphabetical arrangement, electronic name-searching of the reference
can be fruitful if that is available.
Differing classes of publication of the different genealogies are
referred to by four types:
   type 1  –books identifiable by Library of Congress catalog
   number or ISBN number;
   type 2  –other works in covers, including "desktop-published"
   works;
   type 3  –other typescripts;
   type 4  –genealogy-form articles or passages in periodical or
   occasional publications.
Note carefully the code that begins the citation for each genealogy in
the list that follows; that code is used throughout the presentation,
for brevity, to give the essential reference of a genealogy to a
person.
