Both Travis and Williamson counties have some documents posted. Williamson Co. also has a private site that I have used off and and on for years called ThreeLeggedWillie. Many records for both counties can be found on Family History Library microfilm and ordered through your Family History Center. I'm unfamiliar with Alaska, but I suspect there are some centers there. If members of this family died in Texas after 1902, the Texas death certificates are online at familysearch.org and may help you identify ancestors. Travis Co. was particularly good at filing certificates when the requirement first became law in 1903. (It took 33 years for all counties to comply.) Once you have the correct Raven family, you can also view the county tax records for free on familysearch.org. When all else is exhausted, don't forget that a return address and postage stamp from Alaska may get you some help from a county clerk.
