    1. Re: [TX-ETGS] Handouts for June 6, 2007 Meeting - How to Find Your Revolutionary War Ancestor
    2. Trevia W Beverly
    3. Those of you who enjoyed Don's lecture will want to try and make his all-day Thursday presentation at Angelina College in July. Land Workshop: How to Find Your Ancestors in the Land Records. Our ancestors left a paper trail in the land records that exist in an uninterrupted series from the arrival of the first settler in the colonies to the present time. Land records and deed records provide a valuable resource for finding your missing ancestors. Over ninety percent of the adult white male population owned land before 1850. Most of our ancestors were ordinary farmers and land records were often the only trace that they left in the county records. This lecture will also demonstrate the procedure for plotting the outline of a tract of land using the metes and bounds description found in the deed. Each student will then participate in a hands-on session using a protractor and ruler to plot metes and bounds descriptions for a two different land tracts. We hope you'll join us! Not only will you receive information that you can use, but I'm sure as experienced researchers you can lend to the class discussions .... and a great opportunity to network (bring you business cards). ___________________________________ In Search of Unknown Generations at the 11th Annual ANGELINA COLLEGE GENEALOGY CONFERENCE* Lufkin, Texas July 19 - 21, 2007 * Certified by the Texas Education Agency as a Certified Professional Educator (CPE) Provider This is an opportunity to attend lectures by some of the region's most popular speakers.

About one out of every five males in the colonies served and many thousands more filed claims for services and materials provided to the colonies. Therefore, anyone who had ancestors living in the colonies in 1776 had a high probability of being a descendant of one or more patriots or Revolutionary War veterans. Don Raney's lecture will describe how you can use a number of sources such as; Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files, HeritageQuest Online images of the Revolutionary War pension files, Pierce's Register, Rider Index, DAR Patriot Index, DAR Genealogical Records Committee National Index, and the SAR Patriot Index. In addition, he will provide information about nineteen Internet sites as additional sources for information on your Revolutionary War ancestor. If your ancestor is found in one of these sources, additional information can be obtained from the National Archives microfilm collection and state archives records on veterans of the state militia. Donald Raney, a sixth-generation Texan, has been an active genealogist for over 25 years, and a frequent speaker at ETGS and all over Texas. On the national level, he has presented sessions at GENTECH, the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and the Genealogical Institute of Texas. He is a life member of the San Jacinto Descendants and past director of GENTECH and the Dallas Genealogical Society's Computer Interest Group. Mr. Raney will be a speaker at the upcoming Angelina College Conference in Lufkin.

East Texas Family Records is published by East Texas Genealogical Society four times a year. ETGS represents six counties which are Anderson, Gregg, Henderson, Panola, Rusk and Smith. ETGS also publishes a monthly newsletter - The Bulletin which is edited by Janice Cox Brown. ETGS regular meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium starting at 2:00 p.m. After the regular meeting and refreshments the Computer Interest Group meets to discuss topics relating to computers and genealogy.

For more information on ETGS, you may go to our website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs/ or you may contact me at: scottfitzgerald@tyler.net SUBMISSIONS: East Texas Family Records welcomes previously unpublished source material from its readers. The prime requisites for all materials are that they should be as useful in 50 years as they are today. We will strive to publish a variety of material on each of the six counties represented by ETGS. Although exceptions may be made, material relating to our six counties prior to 1900 are of the most interest. Articles concerning other areas will be used occasionally if of sufficient interest to many people. Material from old and/or rare unindexed books will also be considered. Priority will be given to courthouse, Bible and cemetery records, but we are very interested in publishing the following types of source material: Biographical Family Sketches, Lodge Records, Old Diary Accounts, Census Records, Marriage Records, Old Letters, Commissioners Court Minutes, Military Muster Rolls, Post Offices, Confederate Records, Mortality Schedules, Probate Abstracts, Deed and Land Records, Newspaper Clippings, School Lists, Jury Lists, Obituaries of East Texas Citizens, Tax Lists, Library Microfilm Holdings, and Voter Lists. When submitting Bible records, please give name of person possessing Bible, give date of publication, if known, make sure all information is legible and accurate if copied by hand. When submitting cemetery records, please give exact location of cemetery, date copied and name of copier. PUBLICATION: To be considered for publication, an item or article should have a reliable reference and should not be based entirely on "tradition." We do not wish to publish items from books now in print, however, such references may be used as footnotes to clarify sources. Please be certain all material is legible. Xerox copies can be used, but typewritten articles are preferred to avoid errors in transcribing handwritten material. Please include your name, address, e-mail address and day-time telephone number with all material submitted. The editor must retain the right to accept or reject materials and to edit those chosen for publications. Credit will be given to each contributor. If requested, material may be returned, otherwise it will become property of the Society. QUERIES: Queries submitted will be published as space is available. Please type or print each query on a separate sheet of paper. Capitalize all surnames and include at least one date and place. Limit your query to 8 or 10 typed lines and carefully recheck for accuracy. SUBMISSION DEADLINES: Spring issue - January 15 Summer issue - March 15 Fall issue - June 15 Winter issue - September 15 ETGS welcomes any suggestions for improving our publications. We also welcome constructive criticism. Let us know what you would like to see published. Please send all material to: Scott Fitzgerald, Editor (e-mail: scottfitzgerald@tyler.net ). ETGS does not assume responsibility for errors of fact or opinions expressed by contributors. However, we strive to publish reliable source material, and errors will be corrected when submitted in writing. ETGS POLICY ON THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICALS The East Texas Genealogical Society strives to publish a maximum of genealogical information at minimum costs, in order that the Society's publications may be widely available to all who are interested. Consistent with this objective, certain restraints are necessary in regard to replacement of periodicals, which were not received by the intended recipients. Hence, if a member, institution or other organization fails to receive a copy of THE EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS, the quarterly, ETGS must be notified within six months of the publication date of that issue. Otherwise, the intended recipient will be supplied a replacement copy only if copies are still available and only at the published price. The ETGS Newsletter, "The Bulletin," primarily carries news of short-term interest and back issues will not normally be supplied. If there is a special need for back issues, the recipient will be quoted a price for which they may be ordered. PUBLICATION DATES ARE: MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, and DECEMBER 31 of each year.
