    1. [TXBASTRO] Bastrop County Funeral Book
    2. I know we strive to get as much info as possible at no cost but sometimes we do have to pay a little to get valuable information. I want to give you a heads up on a book that is now available for $12.00. I first heard about the original journal over a year ago. If I remember the story right (and I may be off a bit), one of the undertakers kept dates, names and locations of burials in a journal. I can't remember the timeframe but it was way back. This journal was sold in something like a yard sale and purchased by a local resident who thought to make some money. It took some working out, but an agreement was reached about funds and the journal was released to the Save Texas Cemetery who has had someone working to transcribe it. I sent an email to STC about how the book was progressing and received a reply that it was finished and who to contact to purchase a copy. I have left a message with the lady who worked on it to get her mailing information on where to send the $12.00 including postage. I'll let you guys know more as soon as she calls me back. I also remember there were several journals of this type at the sale but it isn't known where the others ended up. Could be in someones attic? I will also ask her if she will allow lookups. She might not as there is probably a certain amount of money that has to be made to break even on this and I would assume anything over would go to the Save TX Cemetery people, which is a very good cause. I'm not affiliated with TSC but I do get their newsletter. I've got my $12.00 ready. They are in the process of moving to rootsweb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txstc/ Also, some of you may have found this site already. It's called Migrations and you can input your ancestor's information on where they came from and where they went. You can also search to see what has already been submitted. http://www.migrations.org/ Tammy Owen Bastrop CO, TX Coordinator Bastropcc@aol.com http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbastro/bastrop.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~txtammy/bastrop/bastropmain.html
