Beliech Family in the front of their home located at 1415 Border St. Pensacola Florida.
L-R-top-row: Raymond Dudley Beliech, Mary Elizabeth " Lizzie " Beliech ( Brown ), Nona Lorraine Smith Nelson Stewart ( Beliech )<--( my Granny ).
Front Row: Thomas " Tommy " Jefferson Beliech ( Lizzie husband ), Mary Elizabeth " Molly " Lee Brown ( Lee ), Linnie Copeland Sanders (Beliech).
As a very young child, I recall sharing & enjoying quite a few very large holiday gatherings with family & friends at the the Border Street Homestead. In the early years, many family members gathered at the Beliech Homestead however, along with her sweet tea and famous potato salad, happy days of family gatherings ended after my Granny -Nona died in May of 1978.....
Celebrations shared at the Beliech Family Home included their descendant family vines being of or joined to Beliech family (aka) Bilich (aka) Bell (aka) Bielich (aka ) Belich (aka-other incorrect spellings?) Lee family & Brown family were Whitwell, Johns, Stafford, Kale - (Aka (Sp?) Call, McCall, Kull, Cale?), Hendricks/Hendrix (aka) Nelson, Baker, Smith, Stewart, Lindsey, Copeland, McNair, Sanders, Ficks, Thorne, Blanton, Owens, Borman, Metcalfe, Ellis, Elliotte, Drahier, Houdashelt, Chilcutt, Taylor, Tillman, Williams, Keller, and more?
Story goes that the Border Street Beliech Home was built by my Great Grand Father Thomas Jefferson Beliech " Tommy " and his brother Mitchell Edward Beliech " Metchel ( whom was 1st my Great Uncle however, via marriage also later became my Step Great Grand Father ). Brothers were a team in life as a Fishers, Oysterman & boatbuilding duo whom turned Home Builders when need be. Together the brothers built several homes for family members. Their life long partnership was also referred to or also known as (AKA) the " Thomas Mitchell " team which explains the name of the partnerships fishing boat. Though Mitchell lived in Mobile, Alabama, the Thomas Mitchell fishing boat was said to have always been kept at Joe Patties, Pensacola Florida and was considered their boats home base for end of the trip dockiing.
All thanks to the Beliech Brothers quality workmanship, the Ole Beliech Border St Home is still standing & is currently occupied ( 2015 ). Current ownership status of the Border Street Beliech Estate is as followed... Was transferred via Florida survivorship laws. Estate is recorded as sold outside of family ownership in the early 1990's. 1st Grantor- Thomas J Beliech Survived by wife Grantee-Mary Elizabeth "Lizzie' Lee Beliech ( Brown ) became Grantee up in his death. Now Grantor- Lizzie via Estate Surviorship Laws granted ownership to her surviving Beliech children whom became Grantee's. Via Lizzie's succession- Grantor of Beliech Estate recorded ownership to her surviving children 2 Daughters and one Son, - - Grantee's- Helen Beliech, Lyndsey McNair & Linnie Beliech Copeland Sanders & Son Thomas Clifford Beliech.
The fishing & boatbuilding duo Brothers turned Home Builders Duo ( aka together as
" Thomas Mitchell " ) also built a home for Mitchell's family in Mobile Alabama, Cottage Hills, Mobile County Ala., at 617 Azalea Rd. Mobile Al. Story goes that many family members hunkered down in this home to weather the vicious hurricane Camile. I was to young to remember it but was told I was there. Mitchell's Azalea St home was very similar to his brother Tommy's Border St Home however, Mitchell's home addio ally had a separate car garage and was built on a very large tract of land filled with beautiful Magnolia tree's, Oak Tree's, white picket fence and beautiful azalea and rose bushes. I also recall awesome family gatherings at this home... So many Magnolia trees that me, my siblings and cousins often times wasted time making play clothing out of the magnolia leaves. Status of said home condition unknown. I think(?) Land ownership of property has always transferred via Alabama survivorship laws 1st Grantor being Mitchell Edward Beliech to surviving wife Grantee Searethy Bell Beliech ( maiden names Cale aka Kale aka McCall? or Stafford ( I need more info on her maiden name??? She was 1st married to my Dad's grandfather Carlos Hendricks aka Hendrix whom later changed his and family's sir name to Nelson. 2nd marriage to my Uncle Mitchel Beliech ) then via Alabama Surviorship laws, property was Granted via Surviorship Law to her surviving child, a daughter Grantee Dorothy Hendricks Nelson Baker " Aunt Dot " ( maiden names Hendricks/Hendrix aka Nelson aka Beliech Not sure of details but I think next property transfer was granted before both Aunt Dorthy & her mother-Granny Bell's death to Dorothy's son. Records indicate her property ownership was to have been granted or maybe sold ($?) to Dorothy's surviving son - Grantee Lawrence Baker & his wife Sue.
I noted in my Geneology research via archived phone book records that Thomas J Beliech & MItchel E Beliech's father, John Belich (note spelling difference) owned a home located at 2126 John's Lane, Mobile, Alabama phone number 4774964 however, I'm not sure if his son's Thomas & Mitchel helped build their fathers home or not. Current mapping does allow street view and a home was standing on John Belich's ole homestead?

*Beliech Geneology can be tuff to research via land records, address search or even name search due to incorrect knowledge and or incorrect recording of sir name such as Bilich, Bielich, Bell & more( ?) however, I recently learned via my Father that the Beliech family's Border Street address differed over time via name change on street. Story goes that BORDER STREET was previously named WIDOWS LANE due to the majority of residence being that of mostly Widows whom lost their spouse during war times. Upon further research I learned the Beliech property was originally recorded as a part of the Domingues Land Grant.
The Beliech daughter Nona ( my Granny ) lived in & raised her only son Kenneth in a shot gun house located left of their property and said home was also built via Beliech. Said home was court ordered to be demolished in the 90's after being damaged via a car wrecking into it then running off without conveying payment to cure. Current land ownership staus of narrow land tract Grantor- Estate Of Nona Beliech Stewart is still family owned via Grantee of her Estate, her Only Son, KL Nelson.
