Hi folks, County and Surname lists are filled with varying information which is now being added to the various data bases on the Internet for birth, death and cemetery records. I thought I'd take a few minutes to get the various URL's and get them together in one message. So far, I have seen postings for Kaufman, Bowie and others near us. Please feel free to share this message with others. For information on what records are available and when for the State of Texas: http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/bvs/registra/INDEX.HTM Rootsweb.com is gradually adding these data bases as they are transcribed by volunteers: This death data base covers 1964 to 1998: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/tx/death/search.cgi A great source to look for county records is to visit the vast records of the various counties of the US GenWeb Project. This is their main site, from there you can go to the state of choice and then to the county of choice. This is their home page, it list all their projects, all done by volunteers and varies from state to state and from county to county: http://www.usgenweb.com/ State Links http://www.usgenweb.com/statelinks-table.html State Archives - Building A Virtual Courthouse http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ Texas Information: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/txfiles.htm Cities and Towns in Texas http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/cities.htm Archives by County http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/txcounties.htm Folks, if you can help with transcribing any records, please consider contacting the appropriate persons, all help is appreciated and we all benefit, regardless of where the information is shared or who does it.
