Posted on: Callahan County, Tx Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Callahan/407 Surname: Teague ------------------------- Lost Creek Cemetery is in Brown Co. TX "Burial will be in Lost Creek Cemetery in Brown County." Dorothy

A genealogist should have lots of tools in his/her bag of tricks. Here's one of mine: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html Simply type in a name (cemetery, etc) and see what happens. The info from the above site appears at the end of this msg. I actually cheated- I already knew that Lost Creek Cemetery was in Brown County. By the way, this cemetery is listed at the Brown County page at TxGenWeb by its other name, which is Hog Creek Cemetery. I also recommend that anyone who lives in Texas buy a copy of "The Roads of Texas." This book is available at most book stores, I would think. It is invaluable. The publisher's website (and no, I don't work for them): http://www.shearerpub.com/ Good luck on finding your ancestor!
