The Family Search (LDS) has some awesome new resources including several new databases with death record images. Texas Death Record Images 1890-1976 http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#c=1320964;p=2;t=searchable For the past 3 years I have been trying to unravel the mystery of my mother's adoption. We were able to get her adoption papers opened with the help of an attorney in Bexar Co. But those papers proved to be a little generic. Her mother's maiden name was not mentioned; and we had no idea where Marshall and Francis Cobb originated from. Turns out Marshall Cobb was from Columbus OH -- and as it turns out the Family Search site also has Ohio death records. Boom. I was able to find a death record for one of my mother's siblings... a twin who died as an infant. Her other 3 siblings had been put up for adoption. She did submit information to the adoption registries in the San Antonio area and discovered that her family was looking for her -- and that in total there were TEN siblings.. yup TEN. The other five who were not adopted were half siblings; from her mother's second marriage etc. With the help of Lexis (by credit card)[ http://www.lexis.com/] -- under the "additional product drop menu -- select "Lexis by Credit card" You can purchase articles from newspapers, magazines and a host of other resources; including some legal case records.[http://web.lexis.com/xchange/ccsubs/cc_prods.asp]. was able to purchase 5 items for about $3 dollars each -- obituaries from 1999 to 2003 that listed the family line of Marshall Cobb I, to Marshall Cobb II, III and even IV. In the obituary of my mother's brother Marshall Cobb III -- she is actually listed as Joanne Cobb -- my mother's given name before she was adopted. Amazingly she and two of her sisters (adopted to different parents) were at one point all going to the same elementary school. Ohio Death Records 1908-1953 http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=4 See all the other records that might be of interest to you: http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=4 The web is becoming a more powerful tool every day in doing genealogy research. I have also been particularly impressed with www.newspaperarchive.com -- I have found hundreds of newspaper articles. If anyone has relatives who went to Quincy IL -- there is also an excellent link to newspaper articles from 1835-1919.... this is particularly helpful if you also have ancestors from Marion, Lewis, Pike or other Northern MO counties.. they may have been picked up in in the Quincy papers. http://archive.quincylibrary.org/Default/Skins/QPL/Client.asp?skin=QPL&AppName=2&AW=1217393416035 Happy Thursday Traci Wilson-Kleekamp African Americans in MO www.missouri-slave-data.org African-American Genealogy: Putting Together the Pieces of Your Past.

Arnold/Medina Ranch Cemetery. Mapsco: 677-F1, GPS: N29*20.625 W098*43.230. This cemetery was established in 1849 and is located on private property owned by Strauss Medina Ranch. To reach the cemetery, travel 2.5 miles south of Highway 90 on W.T. Montgomery Road. Turn left into Strauss Medina Ranch Road. Drive 1.15 miles to a gate across the road. The cemetery is located on the north bank of the Medina River, about 0.14 miles past the gate. The cemetery is the burying place of Hendrick Arnold, who was given this land by the Republic of Texas for his services as a soldier, according to a plaque on the gate. He served as a scout and participant in the seige and capture of San Antonio 5-10 Dec. 1835 and was a member of Deaf Smith's spy company at the Battle of San Jacinto. He died of Cholera in 1849. For more information on Arnold, see the article published 2 Aug. 1981 in Section H3 of the San Antonio Express News. See also The Handbook of Texas, 1:71. Stones in the grave are flat and have only names engraved upon them. A monument placed in the ceme! tery in 1936 by the State of Texas, says Arnold was born in Kentucky in 1804 and died 9 Nov. 1849. Arnold, Hendrick Arnold, Katherine Adams, William C., Sr. Adams, William C., Jr. Adams, Mary Ann Adams, Ophelia K. McDonald, Charles M. McDonald, Guadalupe Boling, Joseph I hope this helps.
