I have received several posts, almost too many to answer concerning books to research the census, cemeteries etc for Nacogdoches, Rusk, Cherokee, Panola, etc. I would recommend that you search the site for Ericson Books. Carolyn Ericson & Kathryn Hooper Davis have done wonderful work on transcriptions of census microfilm and other data to make researching a great time saver and also to give the researcher the opportunity to gather and maintain their own libraries at home when others are not available. All of their publications are reasonably priced and quickly accessable. When I find something I want, I am lucky enough to be able to drive to Nacogdoches (3 hours away) once in a while and go to her home/office and pick up what I need and to browse and gather other publications. When I cannot make the trip, I find what I want and send her an email of my choices. I ask them to get the package ready for mailing and put my check in the mail. As soon as they receive it, my books are mailed. It works really well and surprisingly fast. They do not take credit cards. Here is the site to browse for the publications available and also Carolyn Ericson's email to contact her if you have questions before ordering or whatever: They are soft cover and very inexpensive I think. Here's her site address and her email: http://www.webpsalms.com/eb/index.htm Carolyn Ericson [email protected] Enjoy. It's really nice to have access to this kind of information from someone you can recommend and rely on to help with your search.
