That was my proposed solution to finding something just today; it didn’t work, but one of the bags ended up containing an old contract from General Development Company. Apparently a late family member had been buying some land down there through them, but county appraisers showed that the land never changed hands until after GDC’s bankruptcy. Not even their kid had heard about this, so it really makes me wonder what the story was behind that considering they lived in the Midwest (but did have some relatives nearby in Florida).
