Chuck and Deborah- RE: Does anyone know the history or founder of Counselor, NM ? It is located on Hwy 44 about 60 miles NNW of Albuquerque. Searching for Conselars and variant names. Chuck Counceller and I have been trying to obtain information on my grandfather. I have a document that states he was born in Bigo, Texas on 25 Aug 1900. I cannot locate such a place during any timeframe. A friend suggested that maybe it was the name of a ranch - Big O (like Double D or whatever). Anyway - does anyone have any ideas how I might find such a ranch in all of Texas in 1900? A daunting task I know. I do not even know which county to look! Thanks for all suggestions! Deborah Donegan -- When I needed to find information on Phoenix ND I contacted the ND Historical Society. They were most helpful in providing information on this town which no longer exists. So perhaps NM's and TX's Historical Societies could help you. Mary Pat Marshall Searching Marschall, Wilkinson, Rives, Schnitzius
