You are just more likely to received more informed assistance by sticking to the topic of the board. Don't worry. We were all new once and made our share of mistakes. Your last two questions were answered in the Texas Death Records at: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start which also has lots of useful databases. You might try poking around in there for some of your answers. You might also check out http://www.usgenweb.org. This site is divided into states and counties with specific records for each area...and it's all free and specific to your needs. Good luck in you search!
