The Port of Galveston The port of Galveston, on Texas' gulf coast, was an important immigration center during much of the nineteenth century. Certinly for people from Central America and the Caribbean, but especially for Germanic immigrants, who founded many early Texas towns. Regular compilation of arrival records for the port of Galveston began in 1846, the year after Texas gained statehood. Microfilm copies of the largest portion of these lists, and indexes to them, are available through the U.S. National Archives, the Family History Library, and Family History Centers. Like many other records, transcriptions and indexes to arrival lists from Galveston are beginning to show up on the Internet.

Has anyone been successful in locating church records for Jackson or Volcano (Catholic or Protestant) for the period 1860 to 1900? If so, I would very much appreciate the particulars on what types of information you were successful in finding and where the information was found. I have been advised that St. Patrick's in Jackson has nothing and the Catholic Diocese in Sacramento is "doubtful" as to the success of finding any, although they will look. I have not tried Protestant sources. Any pointers along these lines would be very welcome. My regards, Deborah
