Surnames: HANSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XiB.2ACI/1640 Message Board Post: I find my great great grandparents, Niels and Ernestine Hanson in the 1880 Palestine Texas U.S. Census. Their children were ages 11 and under. I have been able to trace their children, my great grandfather and his sibs, but cannot find what happened to Niels and Ernestine after 1880. Niels was a baker at the time. Perhaps he worked in a bakery in Palestine. Maybe my great great grandparents are buried in Palestine. If anyone has any information about the Hansons of Palestine Texas, I would be most grateful.

I volunteered to compile info on Butler when Freestone County Genealogy Society began the project. I want to introduce my self. I was born Carlene Killough to Carrol & Ollie FRANKLIN KILLOUGH in Butler 1934, the oldest of four daughters. At age eleven or there abouts when I moved to Galveston with my mother, I started having everyone call me Johnnye after my uncle's wife Johnnie Mae JINKINS FRANKLIN. The family still call me Carlene, but I had my name legally changed to JOHNNYE CARLENE KILLOUGH about 1980. I remember trips to Palestine to visit my Aunt Lucille KILLOUGH DIETZ who lived over some kind of a market that that her husband Farrell owned. It must have been about 1939 as I remember that like yesterday, as it was my first time to see a flushing toilet, electric iron, ceiling fan, light bulb hanging from the ceiling and fruit I had never seen before in that market. If you have memories or stories that were associated with Butler, if it is mentioned in old bibles or journals, any information will be appreciated. I have a copy of my ggrandfather W.L. EDWARDS 1909 journal and he tells of making a trip to Palestine to sell his honey. He took Homer, his youngest son who was about six at the time and tells about how scared he was going acrose the Trinity river ferry. I remember visiting some one there when I was very small, but don't know if it was still a ferry or just a bait camp. I don't remember who took us there, just remember that as you went over the bridge going east that you turned directly to the right and drove down a very steep road. I would love to meet some of the people that descended from that family. Some of the Mobley descent ants are probably still in the Palestine area. Would sure like to hear from some of them as they descend from the early settlers. My EDWARDS was there 1838, FRANKLINS, WALDRON/SATTERWHITE 1850, KILLOUGH/DUNCAN families arrived around 1885. The society needs my info by the 15Th of August and I will give credit to anyone for the information that they can send. It can be by email or snail mail. My address is: Johnnye KILLOUGH CARLSON 1024 ROSS STREET LA MARQUE, TX 77568

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.
