Don't think I have seen another census that lists towns where you were born. I can't read SH Lindsey's birthplace, either. It does seem he and his mother's bp's might be the same. Are these Lindsey's connected to Anderson County?

Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX Saturday, January 14, 2006 Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Judy Knight Program: "Interlibrary Loans for Genealogists" Everyone has found a book about an elusive ancestor in a library 500 miles away, but they will only copy a couple of pages. Find out how you can have this book at your home or local library to peruse at your leisure through Interlibrary Loan Programs. Our speaker, Judy Knight, will give us the best places to request interlibrary loans and tell of her experiences with each place. Judy is a graduate of East Texas State University in Commerce and a retired elementary school teacher. Judy is married to Willis Knight, a photographer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. They have two grown sons and one grandson. Her love of genealogy began as a child and she started activity researching about 35 years ago. She has a certificate for the First Families of Tennessee for my ancestor who was a resident of Tennessee before 1796, an Oregon Pioneer Certificate for my ancestor who traveled the Oregon Train in 1853, three certificates for Civil War Families of Tennessee and a Gone to Texas certificate. She has also received a Texas First Families certificate for her husband. She has traveled extensively doing family history research. She is Past President of the Mid-Cities Genealogical Society and currently District 11 Representative and President Elect for Texas State Genealogical Society.

no offense taken. I roll with the punches, haven't many blacksheep but they are who they are and I don't judge their choices. 1 bushwacker, 1 smuggler and one who's rumored to have stole another man's girl and ran off with her. maybe more, but I've yet to hear their stories. may not all be ancestors, but the three above are, as are a lot of good solid individuals. happens in nearly every tree. this census was in 1920 Madison > Justice Precinct 1 > District 101 for S.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: MONTGOMERY, McNEELY, BOBO Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XiB.2ACI/1397.1 Message Board Post: Diane, don't know if I corresponded with you before or not. The oldest daughter of Martha and Robert Montgomery, Sarah Elizabeth "Bettie" married my great great uncle, Robert Martin McNeely. Interestingly, your Robert and wife Martha are found living next door to Robert Martin McNeely's uncle, Thomas G. McNeely (and his mother, Ellender) in Anderson County in 1860. In 1870 in Ellis County, they are living one household away from Thomas G. McNeely and his wife Rhoda Bobo McNeely. Makes me wonder if there is more of a connection than is readily apparent. I visit the cemetery (Sycamore Cemetery in Wise County, Texas) where Robert Martin McNeely and wife Sarah Elizabeth Montgomery are buried at least once a year. Robert Martin's tombstone is a tall metal one. I had seen it for years and didn't notice until someone pointed out it was metal. Sheryl McNeely Shaw sjmcs@earthlink.net

If maybe you could give the page number you are looking at of the census it might be easier for someone to be able to help. In Tennessee Colony there was a Coffield Unit Prison. No offense but the lettering matches.

thank you, Bob, that's a lot of help as the site is very useful. unfortunately the two Goff's mentioned aren't the one I'm looking at. the two listed are Goff Bayou and Goff, Benson. the one I'm looking at looks like Goff Ruguilo???? there's no tail of a g below the line, so it may not be a g. there's no Goff under the USGenWeb TX site under Texas Towns. Goff being a surname and a common one, ferreting the town name out of the archives is impossible. a check of the county didn't help, either.

where is this town in Texas? it is mentioned as the birthplace of a relative in the 1920 census, and there is either another word or an extension of Goff after it. the enumerator wrote Texas supercased over the second part, and I can't make it out. Rootsweb's town search thingy doesn't bring a Goff, TX up. thanks for your help. Cornelia

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 by members 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 lease 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.

Anderson County's 1873-1875 Voter's Register Paul R. Scott, editor In 1971 the Legislature authorized the Archives Divison of the Texas State Library to establish the Regional Historical Resource Depository (RHRD) Program. RHRD's mission is to locate historically significant local records lying unused and forgotten in the attics and basements of county courthouses and city halls and, whenever, possible to accession them for placement in designated depositories near the county where created. A classic example of the statewide potentials of RHRD was the 1976 transfer of records from Anderson Conty. County Judge N. R. Link and County Clerk Stanley Walton with the concurrence of the County Commissioners, agreed to transfer a large quanity of non-current records to the custody of the State Archives. In sorting through one of the many stacks of unused volumes in the attic, this editor found a list of registered voters compiled in 1873 and updated until 1875. This volume, along with others (some dating back to 1839), was accessioned and subsequently deposited at the University Library of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville. Although the binding had suffered some water damage and subsequent mildew, the pages were in excellent condition and none of the information was lost. The following is an edited version of the names in each precinct arranged alphabetically by the first letter of the surname and showing the voter's registration number, race, and any notations made about him. The editor's comments are enclosed in brackets.

Pete Broomfield, 55, widower, born TX, parents listed as TX; border in Stubblefield household. If Pete is Davis I don't know what happened to the children and no Broomfield's in the 1930 record. Eunice Broomfield not found in 1930 record. Since Davis Broomfield SR lived past 1910 he should be in the death index.
