 Mrs. Lockheart, I am about to ask you some questions regarding

your family like and the first question I will ask you is where

were your parents born:

 (Mrs. Genevieve Lockheart): My parents were born in the

Bahamas, mother and father.

 (Ms. Daily): Did they ever live in Overtown?

 (Mrs. Lockheart): Yes, when they left the Bahamas, when they

left the Bahamas, they went to Key West, Florida and they lived

there for a number of years and then afterwards they came to Miami

and when they came to Miami (and you hear that phone?)...

 (Ms. Daily): ...I don't hear it.

 (Mrs. Lockheart): I was born here in Miami, February 22,

 1924, two years before the '26 Hurricane, they told me (go ahead).

 (Ms. Daily): What years did they live in Overtown?

 (Mrs. Lockheart): What years?

 (Ms. Daily): Yes

 (Mrs. Lockheart): They were before I was born, I understand

 they built the house there on Fifth Avenue, 1733 Northwest Fifth

 Avenue. I don't know what year they built it but I know I was born

 in that in that area so it was there, they must have built it prior
