On Saturday, October 21, deceased Fernandina residents came back to life through remembrances told by reenactors and some direct descendants during the Amelia Island Genealogical Society Bosque Bello Cemetery Tour. Highlighted during the tour were The Delaney Family, Alexander Oswald McDonell, Corporal Amos Atkinson, Charles Beresford, John A Ferreira, Thomas H. Askins, and Nathaniel B. Borden.
The Genealogical Society is celebrating its 25th anniversary. If you wish further information on the society click here.
The AI Genealogical Society’s Tour was wonderful! We really enjoyed the short hour visiting with residents of the Bosque Bello Cemetery. My husband and I learned so many interesting stories about the history of Fernandina Beach. The actors did such a good job taking us back in time and telling their stories. Thank you for a wonderful time. Please don’t wait another 6 years.
