Wow! It seems like I chose the right path to take when I chose to go with my Stevenson side first. I was playing around again last night and came upon a great discovery!
I was on the Family Search Labs site and was just typing names in again. I do that sometimes when I am bored! I typed in my great-grandmother’s name, Eudora Stevenson, and was going through the results when I came upon a death record for my great-grandfather, Emmit Stevenson. I knew his death date and I have a picture of his tombstone but I have never found his death record.
Surprisingly, his death record is not in Texas!
I figured that is where it would be as he had been living in Texas for at least 20 years or more before he died. I went to all the surrounding counties by where he lived and searched through the court houses looking for his death certificate and never found it! So, I gave up hope on finding it!
So, where did the record I found last night say he died? In Florida! That’s right, in Florida! I knew he had died on February 11, 1928 because that is what was on his tombstone. The record I found last night has that same date and has his birth date, which is right also! It also lists his parents names and they are correct. It’s just a transcript of the death certificate so I will have to see about how I can go about getting a copy of it.
Isn’t it interesting how we are able to find things sometimes. I had no idea what I was looking for. I was just bored and was typing in stuff and made a great discovery!
Now to try to figure out what he was doing in Florida! 
Until next time,
Ken
That is so exciting. I’m really happy for you. Let us know if you find out what he was doing in Florida!
Thanks for the reply Becky! I’ll gladly post something as soon as I find out! I do believe there were some of his children living in Florida at that time so perhaps he was just visiting! How said if that were true! Of course, he could have also been spotting out a place to move himself!
