Dear Bobbie, I am researching the McMeekin family(My Mothers side) and hope you can help me. My great uncle married a woman named Manze Neyland. I am trying to find the location of her grave. When she passed away they lived in Oakton comm. Do you know where that is located? The Rev. Reynolds from Pearl performed her service and the undertaker was Morton Scott. She was reared in Ireland,Texas.The date of death was 4-12-l935. I am also looking for the grave site of my great aunt Nancy Jane "Nannie" McMeekin Laman. She passed away in l904. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Hello Bobbie: Could you please lookup the Volume and page number for the marriage of MARVEL WHTNEY SELLERS and REBECCA JANE WILSON on 21 MARCH 1875 in MT. ZION, CORYELL CO., TX. Thanks you in advance for your valued assistance, Lynda

I am sure these are the right children. The names are family names and the dates are right.

My Aunt , Opal Dooley and her first husband, John Ingram Blanchard Jr., gave birth to several children in Gatesville who lived only a week or so. The first one was born Sept. 22, 1949, a little girl who they named Judith Elaine Blanchard. I would like to know the burial place of this child. I am also looking for the birthdates, names and gravesites of the other children who were born after this and lived only a week or so. I believe my Aunt had three children who died shortly after birth. All three were born in Coryell County. Thanks for any help in advance. ^..^ Rose Lyne (THOMPSON) Denson

For just a few dollars contribution to rootsweb you can build your own home page. And if you talk real nice to Bobbie she just might let you link your home page to her Coryell Co. page. If you have a lot of Coryell county families and info about Coryell co. Old pictures and stories about Coryell Co. are great to include. Cheers Cassie

Meow....<grin> Do what I am doing. I am writing a history of all my Coryell Co. Families with any and everything I want in it. Along with pictures, stories and anything else interesting including the genealogies. I am going to put it in Book Form using my computer and run off copies and will put a copy in the library at Gatesville, Waco and various other places. I will also put a copy on Rootsweb and the LDS Library. That way I control it. I own it. And I can do what ever I want to with it. MEOW again.

Bobbie, The Coryell Family history had a vary restrictive 400 word limit. A more informative family history requires more than that. Don't get me wrong because I was very happy to have the opportunity to submit my family history but I had to cut over 200 words from my original draft to meet the deadline. I also understand and agree with their reasoning but do you require anything other than reasonableness? Thanks, Bob Meeks

Dear List members, The ones you have sent already are fine, but from now on when you send your biographies please send them as a .txt file (like word perfect or even note pad). I have to send a copy on to the state co-ordinator to go in the archives and they have to be in that form. Thanks, I'm delighted with the ones I've received already.

Come 'on list members, send me biographies. Keep me busy, at the very least you should have the biographies that you wrote to go in the new Coryell County Families book. Let me put them online and they will be saved for posterity and future generations in another format. The wave of the future, to be saved in internet archives! I want pictures too, I am having trouble getting them on line at the moment, but hope to solve that. With 3 of my husband's families of Coryell County we are already ahead of most TX counties! Let's show them Coryell County!

Hi, Bobbie. I sent you the following message, to your e-mail address, which I have as bwross@htcomp.net. I actually sent it twice. But it bounced, both times, so I sent it to the list. ""Hi, Bobbie. As a GEN student with less than one year of 'time in grade', I have to reveal my ignorance, and ask you -- Where and how do I find the WPA biography files to which you referred??"" Thanks.

We have a new listing on our first table of our home page, Coryell County Biographies. This is a place for us to use modern day techniques to save info about our pioneer families, anyone who is not living, please. The links can be followed to see what others are doing. I would actually prefer that these be written by you about your people, somewhat like we have the WPA biographies.

Reprinted from the Hoston Genealogical Forum: Yesterday I received my issue of the Texas State Library and Archives newsletter. A point of interest to us all is the announcement that the "State Library to launch LIBRARY OF TEXAS. [abstracted portions:] the State Library is currently laying the groundwork for a five-year build-out of new services, technology, and infrastructure. As each phase of the project is completed, the LIBRARY OF TEXAS will offer a growing variety of electronic information to school children and their parents; business owners and their customers; legislators and their constituents; and all others across Texas with access to the Internet, either through their local library or from their personal computers. The LIBRARY OF TEXAS project builds on existing agency services and extends thei scope and reach in ways never before possible. The core programs of the LIBRARY OF TEXAS included Online Databases .. in which public and academic libraries can access otherwise expensive subscription databases free of charge .... and permit library patrons to access them from their home or office computers. Electronic State Government Information ..... [*] Statwide Catalog - imagine extending the reach of one online catalog to include libraries across Texas. In one simple search, online patrons will be able to search for specific items; detemine where in Texas they can find them; and initiate an Interlibrary Loan to have them delivered to their local library. [*] Extensive Training to reach librarians across Texas. Over $40 million in grant monies from the Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Board." Sounds exciting for everyone! Keep a watch on the progress; surely the news media will make note!? Bobbie Ross, county co-ordinator for Coryell County, Texas http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcoryel/

Winona - Re. Bee House school records. It has always been my understanding that the Bee House records were transferred to Pearl when it was consolidated.
