I've just posted online a GEDCOM of my three ancestral families who came to Erath County: ROBERSON (arrived 1859), RAGSDILL (arrived 1859) and LONG (arrived ca. 1874). The GEDCOM traces all of these lines back to their original roots in South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi (Roberson), Tennessee and Arkansas (Ragsdill) and North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama (LONG) and also takes the lines of some of the families they intermarried with back a few generations. Follow this link to go to the complete index of surnames: http://members.aol.com/ftp4genes/hettie/surnames.htm In addition to ROBERSON, RAGSDILL and LONG, other Erath and surrounding counties surnames covered include: Hollis, (LOTS of Hollis info) Keahey (* found 'em!), Stone, Montgomery, Wolfe, Allard, Sumrall, Elliott, Roberts,Burnett, Green, Rhodes, etc etc. I just uploaded this and had to do a lot of manual changes to links because of problems with the software generating the html, so if any links don't work, e-mail me and I'll fix them! All the best, Kathryn Coombs
