How about it Bill, can you give us a sneak preview of what is to come? I have been reading about family and friends of family in these articles and can't wait to see what is next >> Peggy, I appreciate your kind words.....the Fort Worth Genealogical Society has granted to use the RUCIDLO papers ( 3 reel set ) in order to use the writings and collective papers of the late Mrs. Rucidlo in order to adapt biography pieces for this Erath County project. This week's submitted biography is on Bertha Cappleman Williamson, b. 1876- d. 1976 who was a long time resident of Stephenville. Mrs. Williamson had a very sharp mind and was interviewed by Mrs. Rucidlo around 1973/74 when Mrs. Williamson related many family stories of her family to Mrs. Rucidlo. This piece is really more in relating stories by Mrs. Williamson (somewhat lik those of Charles Wyly except I think Mrs. Williamson was a little bit older than Charles although I am sure not by much...) RUCIDLO papers is copyright of the FWGS and I know that one set of the films are in the Fort Worth Public Library and we have one here in the Odessa library. This week's piece should be up on the webpage by sometime Sunday. If anyone is interested in submitting biographies for Erath County, they may contact me or Alice Moore (xmasmom@juno.com). If one would like to volunteer in the statewide project or would like to submit a biography for another county, Cindy Radway of Iraan is the state project chairman. Her E-mail address is: radway@tenet.edu To contact the FWGS, their president is Pat Gordon...E-mail: patg@flash.net I think there are more than one Peggy on this list. Where do you live if I may ask? I know there is one lady from Dublin but there must be two of you unless you have more than one E-mail address?!
