Thanks to everyone. You all have been trying, but I am not sure it can be found. I have tried it too. My grandmother was born about 1885-8 she wasn't sure, her parents had never written it down. I do remember her telling me she was born near Bonham. On her social security application she wrote Omahall and included her mother's pension request from the civial war, and it stated the mother did not know exactly when. My grandmother's name was Lementine, but she was called Tiney after her aunt. Her sister Zona was born around there too, in Fannin county, both of them to Sam or Samuel A. Burns and Mary Harriett Dean Burns. I just found out Sam and Hattie or Harriet as she was called on the license, got married in Fannin county May 18, 1873. I would very much like to find a marriage license for them if someone can tell me what I need to do, and who to call or write? This Burns family has been nearly invisible! I am just going to keep trying. I had hoped maybe Sam moved here from MO. with family. Still no proof! Peggy Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig McDonald" <[email protected]> To: "'Howard & Judith Busch'" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 5:08 PM Subject: Re: [TXFANNIN] Burns connections & Omahall > > No luck, but here is the website if you want to check it out: > http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/ > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Howard & Judith Busch > Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 8:58 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [TXFANNIN] Burns connections & Omahall > > There is a site called Handbook of Texas that lists many old towns. > Try it. > > Judy Busch > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "teresa skokowski" <[email protected]> > To: "Peggy" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 8:51 AM > Subject: Re: [TXFANNIN] Burns connections > > >> just looking at what you wrote, i do not know of your family..but..if you >> go >> to us gen web and look up texas..under this you can find counties and >> cities >> that are gone..hope this will help a little on your search >> teresa >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Peggy" <[email protected]> >> To: <[email protected]> >> Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 1:31 PM >> Subject: [TXFANNIN] Burns connections >> >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am new to the list.

Could there be a possibility that your "Omahall" might be the same town in northeast Texas known as Omaha? This small community is in Morris County, east of Mt. Pleasant, a short distance off Interstate 30. This location would be maybe 75 miles southeast of Bonham. Good Luck
