Hello;

Can anyone help me locate information on Fred Swain born 1919 Ala, and his brother, Raymond born 1917 Ala, s/o Thomas Collier Swain and Mary Ann Stanton.

Both brothers came to Florida around 1950 and were in West Palm Beach area at the time of their mothers death in 1958.
I would be grateful for any marriage, children and death information available.

OK, I will give you the five dollar version.
Fred owned/operated an air conditioning shop in WPB. He was married to Lela C. She died 25 Aug 2006.There is a very short obit on her.
Raymond was ( I believe) married to Nora Irene.She died in 2001.When she died she was a "Brooks". She was married to Mr. Brooks long enough to have children. Clayton S Brooks was one of those children.Nora's obit is longer, but no mention of Raymond.
Below is a copy of public record in Florida. That is where I came upon Nora's name. This record is one of several for Fred. It is dated 1975.

Good Afternoon Frank;

I appreciate the information you sent, we have searched for our second cousins a long time and just found their mother's obit that stated where they were.
Fred and Ray have 5 brothers and sisters, Mattie Oline Swain who married Alfred Anderson in WPB, also died in West Palm Beach 30 March 1989, Jim Tom died in Ga, that leaves Junior and brother Stanton, (another one I am searching for in Montgomery County, Ala).
Do you have Fred and Ray's death dates or know how I can get their obits or copies of those public records?

Thanks again for all of your kindness, Best Wishes; MaurieAnne

I believe that Fred died in March 1991.
He along with Olien used Dorsey's funeral home in Lake Worth, Florida. They might have addition information.
The public records can be found at
myfloridacounty.com
You can search those records and order the ones you believe are your family's. Search Palm Beach county otherwise it will overload with information.
You might also look for a Joseph C Coates in that area. From the records you will see that Fred dealt w/ him quite a lot.
Good Hunting,
Frank
