Another source for this same information, but much more time-consuming to extract, is the search engine for the USGenWeb at the following page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/newsearch.htm If you know the county of birth, you can narrow your search by searching the county data through the following site: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/ I have used this USGenWeb search page extensively with my CARLOCK research. By the way, when I searched for the surname CARLOCK on the Texas Births Database 264 names did come up. Theoretically, though, I have already previously extracted all of this same information from the above-mentioned USGenWeb site. When I search by the surname TILLEMAN, my daughter, ex-husband, and his daughter by his second marriage do come up, everyone that I would expect to be listed there. My niece and two nephews also come up when I search by their surnames. Anna, I will contact you privately regarding one reason you might not be finding the information for which you are searching. I would also be willing to share this same information with anyone else who contacts me privately inquiring about the same subject.

I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, but if the people that I have real information for (including myself) aren't on there, I would be hesitant to use it for people that I'm not sure were born in texas.
