    1. [ERATH] Erath County visit
    2. Joseph T. Richardson
    3. I'm planning a visit to Erath County for some time in the next two weeks. I'm pretty pressed for time, and I'm wondering about where I should go to research to get the most out of it. I'll probably be making a trip to the courthouse (unless the records I need are available elsewhere), and I'd like to make one other stop at a library, if time allows. Which library has the most genealogical resources? What in particular I'm looking for-- * Marriage records, in the period of 1880 to 1920 * Death records, in the period of 1900 to 1920 * Land or deed records * Probate or will records * Cemetery transcriptions Are the marriage, deed, or probate records available at the courthouse indexed? I see on the website that there have been some cemetery books published. How thorough are these books? I.e. do they cover most or all of the cemeteries in the county? Also, do any of the libraries have books on the surrounding counties, in particular Eastland or Comanche? Thanks. Joseph T. Richardson
