As a member of the genealogical community interested in Galveston County, I would like to take my hat off to Shelly Henley Kelly for the work she has put into developing this Master List of 1900 Storm Victims. I have talked to her periodically from the time she started this project many months ago, and I know the tremendous effort that it took. For some time, we have wanted to have this information available on-line. The Storm Victims are a continual matter of genealogical inquiry across the country. By cross-checking the several existing lists against the city directories, and working with meticulous care, Shelly has produced a wonderful genealogical resource, clearly superior to any other version. Shelly, we congratulate you and thank you! Jim Turner
