Thanks Cindy, I was so in hopes they would be online. I think Stephenville is about 90 miles from here. Do you know if the Library has steps that I would have to climb?

Callie - the library has a ramp access and interior elevators so it is possible to avoid the steps. Parking might be an issue if walking is difficult. Call ahead to check on visitor and/or handicap parking. Before you make the drive over...the tax rolls may have been published. Maybe someone on the list is aware of a published version? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Callie Waits" <calliewaits@digitex.net> To: <TXERATH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 10:05 PM Subject: Re: [ERATH] Old Erath > Thanks Cindy, I was so in hopes they would be online.
