Hi, Bobbie, I was just at your Coryell Co. TX Gen Web site and I noticed that the link for the Coryell Co. Hist. Museum isn't there anymore. I submitted two family histories on the Burns/Bruton and Bruton/Lynch families for the new book they are going to do. Do you have any idea if they still plan on doing this? I have not received an answer back to any of my emails, so I was just curious. Has anybody else had this same problem? Thanks, Cindy

Bobbie, over and above what? I think I missed your meaning. Sorry.

Are there any Gilstraps listed in the index to the book of Coryell Co.? I have at least one that died and was buried there. Maybe more. Wanda Patton

This is a very interesting site: http://atlas.thc.state.tx.us/Atlas/atlas_search_frame.html Bobbie

Dear List Members, I am in possession of an index for the book that has been under discussion and will do look-ups. I went to the look up page on the county page to add that and "Loh and Behold!" It was already there and has been all of the time. So, some of you can use that e-mail site to query a different volunteer. Cassie, as to the Fort Hood cemeteries, those look ups are there also. I have 17 cemeteries on the fort and all of those who were moved. Over and above that, please do make it available. Bobbie Ross, county co-ordinator for Coryell County, Texas http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcoryel/

I guess by the time this book came out, the Latham clan had already moved to Eastland Co., and Greer Co. TX. Thanks Bobby, John Christoff

Don, I dunno. Bobbie hasn't set me the yea or nay yet...lets keep our ears to the ground. You ever find out the CSA unit of your Payne kin? John Christoff

Bobbie, how about Thomas Jefferson Latham, Hannah Condie (Parker) Latham, Edna Octavia (Latham) Power(s), Augustus "Gus" Power(s). To bad they won't reprint the book. John Christoff Wichita Falls

Hello, I think I have most of the graves that were marked and a list of some that I know were buried there but, graves were unmarked. I am not sure about those that were moved. I do not mind typing them and doing what ever is necessary to post them to the web site. Or make a web site.

I did subscribe to their list and they say so far nearly 400 have subscribed. I now have 3 digests and they are about 30 messages each, all asking for lookups among each other. I don't need this Cassie, a lot of the cemeteries have been done and the archeologist at Ft. Hood has been a great help I am referring to being done in the past. I don't see how it would be involved with the Genealogical Society. I have one disk that is titled "Ft. Hood, those moved and those there". I have no idea how complete it is.

This did not work for me. I am sure by now you all think I have lost my mind and dreamed up that promised link!! But it is really there. When I get home tonight I will try to type in the step by step tp get to the page on the LDS site, ( the one with the film# on it). Hang on, its out there!! Rose

Bobbie, I read the message on this new project. Will this include the cemeteries in Fort Hood? I will personally volunteer to go knock on the door of the person in charge at Fort Hood and beg for a copy of these records. I will even volunteer to type them all. Will it cause a problem with the Genealogical Society in any way?

Hello, I am proud to announce the creation of a new mail list called TX-Cemeteries. This list has the encouragement of Gerron S. Hite, Cemetery Preservation Coordinator in the History Programs Division of the Texas Historical Commission gerron.hite@thc.state.tx.us and he's excited at the opportunity to share his feelings about our cemetery preservation to a large group all at once Others that have been notified, Lee Campbell, Past Representative for the Texas State Genealogical Society {and my cousin} and her friend, Past President of the TSGS Wanda Donaldson. I've let all the following people know about the list and they may join from time to time. Yvonne Pickens, current President of the TSGS. Trey Holt, coordinator for the Texas GenWeb. Wyndell Taylor, creator of GA Cherokee County GenWeb page, {and my cousin}. <Smile> I just have a lot of cousins !!!! The main focus of this list will be to locate and catalogue our endangered cemeteries. Gerron Hite has obtained a new program to help us give our cemeteries "Historic Texas Cemetery Designation". He is willing to help us learn how to accomplish this designation. This will also be a topic for us to address. I am an experienced RootsWeb mail list admin. Currently I manage the mail list for VARoots, SC-Old Pendleton-District, and the Brand surname list. Donna, the lead technician, of the RootsWeb Help Desk has complimented me with a request to join her on the RootsWeb desk, which made me feel really good, but my main focus is our cemeteries. I am also experienced in the survey of large and small cemeteries. In addition to the topics above there will be discussions on how to preserve and restore old monuments with the help of a caretaker with over 25 years experience. To join the mail list simply send a message to TX-Cemeteries-L-request@rootsweb.com with only the word subscribe in the subject line and nothing else. If you prefer the Digest send a message to TX-Cemeteries-D-request@rootsweb.com with only the word subscribe in the subject line and nothing else. I look forward to seeing you there, Respectfully, donna brand

Hi Wayne: Thank you for being such a nice member of the list. One thing you might be able to do and still put the index on this page is to check with the author/authors and ask for their permission. If they grant it, then there is no copyright problem. Bobbie said in an earlier post that they were not interested in republishing the book so they won't be losing any money by having the index on this list, right. It might be worth a try.

Wayne, Bobbie Ross just reminded me of the copyright problems with posting the index on the Coryell County page. I tried to post the url for the page I found it on the LDS site. I goofed that up. But Bobbie said she would post it. Thanks so much for the offer. I do not have the time for a lot of look ups on the index, but I would check for your surnames if you want. Bobbie does not suggest I do it for the list. She is probley right.

Linda: Would you possibly be related to Vera & Vernon Painter. He was employed by the Humble Oil Co. (present day EXXON) for a long time and they used to live at the various pump stations. The last time I visited with them, they came to my house and they lived between Comanche and Hamilton, TX. at that time.

I still have the directions "posters" were kind enough to supply, so we should be able to find the Coffey Cemetery where the Williams and Painters are buried. I've heard of the cemetery all of my life, but have never been there. Taking the camera for sure!!! > > Everyone take care and have a good Labor Day weekend! > > Linda Reasor
