Dear Ethel........please take your arms and wrap them around you and give yourself a BIG HUG from me. YOU, WITHOUT KNOWING IT, GAVE OUR WHOLE EXTENDED BAKER CLAN A WONDERFUL GIFT! Yesterday you were helping me look for CSA cavalry info. on my CANTWELL great grandfather. You found information through the "GOOGLE" search engine.......one I had not used in the past. So with that info. I decided to play around with it and see what popped up. Here is the AMAZING part. I put in my deceased father-in-law's name, Roland Gail BAKER, b. 1897 d. 1967, Phoenix, AZ and up he came. Now it gets even better. Gail Baker was a native of Phoenix, AZ. and a fairly prominent person in his profession of civil engineering. The information that came up was from an ARIZONA CULTURAL HISTORY PROJECT at the main Phoenix Library. I called and they directed me to the ARCHIVES AND MANUSCRIPTS COLLECTION of ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY. As it turns out they are holding over 8 FEET ! and 16 BOXES of his professional papers! Our family had NO idea these papers existed.....partly because they had been held by one of his close professional friends whose widow donated the papers to the University.( She probably didn't know where the kids were to even tell us as no one lives in Pheonix any longer. ) I called ASU and they sent me a "finding" through e-mail yesterday so we could view what items were held in the collection. There was also a personal bio. on my father-in-law which was nice to read. ASU also directed me the the University of Arizona Archives where there should be more information as Gail was a U of A grad. My husband was so excited last evening to know of this body of work existed. Most of Gail's professional life was before his children were born. (He didn't marry until he was 35 and by then he had designed and built several dams in Arizona) I'm saving all of this as a surprise for the family when we meet for Easter dinner. What a wonderful legacy to share with our children and grandchildren. One grandchild is a civil engineer and now "takes dams down" sort of a reverse of what her grandfather did. I suspect these papers will mean the world to her! But I'm not done........I then put in some "old", before 1800, family names I had been working on and up came two copies of Wills and Deeds I was able to printout. It was a VERY productive day and ETHEL..........thanks for sharing........you have no idea what your little e-mail has done. Like throwing a pebble on a still pond.......the ripples are still extending outward............THANK YOU from ALL the BAKERS. Sharyn CANTWELL BAKER

Sharyn, all I can say is...WOW!!!! What a marvelous find for you! I'm so happy if I played a small part in your discovery. Wouldn't you just *love* to dig through all those papers!?!? I use 'google' a lot. There are many good search engines, but since I found that one, it's my favorite.

Thanks. Both times you have replied, I got it twice. Have a good day. Vickie Neill Taylor flip@okplus.com

Ethel.....thanks for the "google" information.......I should have been using it and now have it bookmarked. I have an inquiry out to a Texas CSA source and he is looking for me also. I called the Library in OK ....Dept. of Archives and Records ( Thanks Marti for this information) and they are sending me a copy of my great grandmother's pension application......maybe that will have useful information. I've never seen one before. It is so frustrating being so far away from your "roots" and having to rely on others..........but with that said, THANKS <3 to all who give so generously of their time and resources. Sharyn

http://www.cba.uh.edu/~parks/tex/texreb1p.htm#tcr THis is a list of Texas Confederate units, Infantry and Cavalry, http://www.tarleton.edu/~kjones/txoffs.html This page lists the Field Officers in the TX Confederate Reg'ts. It shows a Reuben Brown, Lt Col., then Col. Served in 12th Cav. Bat., 13th Infantry, and 35th Tx (Brown's) Cav. You might also want to try the TX archives for your grandfather's service record, no, wait a minute, they may not have the service records, but I found my grandfather's in AR, where they served. Don't know about TX. If they don't then you would need to order from NARA, and it would take a bit. You can also order from Broadfoot's Publishing, costs a bit more, but a fast turn around. As for how I found this, I used google.com, typed in tx confederate cavalry, and gave me a long list of pages.
