Originated by the host, Michael Matthews of Dallas Texas, featuring knowledgeable guests every Sunday evening : state archivists, librarians, college professors, professional genealogists, representatives of genealogical and lineage societies, authors, columnists, family association representatives, and others. More than 220 individuals have been featured on the weekly radio broadcasts over the past four years. All the guests have reported having a great time answering questions from callers regarding family history research strategies and problems. All pertinent questions are welcome and appreciated. Listeners are encouraged to PARTICIPATE on the program with their comments or questions. The number is tollfree from anywhere it can be heard. The show may be heard live on the Internet on KTSA San Antonio at http://www.ktsa.com. You will need Real Audio to listen on line. ============================================================ - New in The TXGenWeb Project Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/txfiles.htm Bell County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/cemetery/cemlist.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/misc/1925class.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/misc/1925class.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/cemetery/donahoe.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/obits/jdanley.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/military/jdanley02.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bell/cemetery/rockhollow.txt Comanche County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/comanche/cemetery/oakland.txt Comal County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/comal/cemetery/rust.txt Cooke County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/cooke/marriage/book04pg1-71.txt Dallas County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookjp.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookq.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookjb.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/minister.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookig.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookip.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookqg.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookqb.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/dallas/vitals/bookqp.txt Fannin County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/fannin/cemetery/bledsoe.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/fannin/cemetery/pettigrew.txt Grayson County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/georgetown02.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/fairview02.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/fairview01.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/fairview01.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/cemetery/fairview02.txt Hill County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/hill/cemetery/blum01.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/hill/cemetery/blum02.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/hill/cemetery/blum03.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/hill/cemetery/blum04.txt Houston County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/houston/census/1850cens.txt Rains County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/rains/military/discharg.txt Smith County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/cemetery/libertyhill.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/cemetery/libertymem.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/cemetery/pinesprings.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/obit/bfmcbride.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/obit/jdray.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/bible/mcbridebib.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/smith/cemetery/center02.txt Tyler County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/tyler/cemetery/bethany.txt ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/tyler/cemetery/bethany.txt ============================================================ If you would like to submit news, information or press releases for inclusion in future newsletters, send them to holt@txcyber.com.
