Hi, everyone, Janet is in the process of re-subscribing to the list... ---------------- Begin Forwarded Message ---------------- Date: 11/14 7:49 AM Received: 11/14 12:26 PM From: Janet Gardner, jgardner@myriad.net To: ardrew-l@rootsweb.com Hi Everybody! Several months ago I subscribed to this mailing list and received generous help and consideration. Throughout my search, it was determined by myself and others on this list that several families from Drew County Arkansas went to Bell County, Texas. In the past months I started a project in Bell County. I donated a new link to the Bell Co. Texas homepage titled "Nannie's Scrapbooks". Nannie was my great grandmother. She was born and reared in Bell Co. Texas. Throughout her life she kept scrapbooks. These scrapbooks contained newspaper articles,programs, etc. of Bell County residents. In these scrapbooks you will find marriages, births, deaths, pioneer stories,photographs, etc. These scrapbooks are a new link found on the Bell Co. homepage at http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbell/ However, you will only find books 1, 2, 4, 5 and part of book 3 entered on the internet at this time. The rest of book 3 and book 6 will be added a little at a time, each week, until all books are there. I should have books on the internet by the end of December. In order for you to find your surname you must use your browser to search through each page. Instructions below: 1. Call up the "Nannie Scrapbook" link 2. Click on Edit (at top of toolbar) 3. Click Find 4. Type in surname 5. Click on "find now" This will take you through the page on screen. Then you will just click on the next page link and continue. This is a slow process but productive if you find what you are looking for. Kay Bradley, the co-ordinator of the homepage, has mentioned putting the books in order and perhaps have a better way to search after all books are on the homepage. Thought this might help Drew Co folks find out more about their families that went to Bell Co. Texas. This is free! It cost nothing to view these scrapbooks. However, I would appreciate you letting me know how successful you were in finding your ancestor. I know Nannie would be proud she has helped someone. Happy Hunting!
