Hi everyone, I hope your summer is going well, and that you've all had time to do some family research. It seems that more and more databases and census records are being put online everyday, so I'll continue to keep you updated on any new sites I hear about...you all do the same! We've had two projects already this summer, and have been adding all your new SURNAMES and Family Group Sheets to the webpage. Many thanks to those of you who have helped to add valuable information on early Gray County residents. For the August 1-15 project, we'll be asking for BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES of your Gray County families, to be added to the growing collection of resource information on the webpage. Nothing formal...just include what you know about your Gray County families. You may want to tell us about the first of your family to settle in the county, or you may choose a later family to feature. Even better, tell us something about each generation! You can also focus on an individual person, if you prefer. Share with us anything you know about these folks...where they resided before coming to Gray County and what caused them to relocate, where and how they lived, if the children went to school or were taught at home or worked to help out, if they were active in a church or community, how they were affected by adversity or better times, and any other bits of information you may have learned in your research. Remember to replace the Subject line with the person or family you are featuring. Whether you have one surname or a dozen, I'm looking forward to hearing all the interesting stories handed down to you or that you've discovered about your Gray County families. Thanks, LaRae Gray County listmgr. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgray/ Note: You may continue to submit new material in a previous category, and we'll add it to the Gray County webpage as they're received. The project schedule is as follows: July 1 - Surnames July 15 - Family Group Sheets August 1 - Biographical Sketches August 15 - Photo Album September 1 - Land Records September 15 - Obituaries October 1 - Wills

Hello, As some of you may know, Rootsweb and Ancestry.com have recently merged. While Rootsweb will continue to function separately by providing us with all the services, research sources, and over 21,000 genealogical mailing lists just as it has in the past, the merger has provided Rootsweb listmembers with a few 'perks' from Ancestry.com. Starting today and lasting until the end of July, Ancestry.com is opening up all of their databases to us for free access. They have routinely allowed free access to all new resources for the first 10 days, and I occasionally pass that information along to you if it pertains to something of particular interest. However, until July 31st, ALL of their databases can be searched for free. Please don't misinterpret this as a recommendation beyond the free offer, as I only wish to pass along to you the ability to search records which are normally open to members only. The signup is very simple...I did it, and took all morning just to get through the databases beginning with the letter 'A', as the list of records is quite extensive. Browsing further, I found an actual photocopy of my g-g-grandfather's Civil War pension application. They also have a free daily newsletter with genealogical articles, lists of the new 'free for the first 10 days' databases and maps, and research tips from readers. Many of the little things I post to the list have come from this newsletter. The URL for the free offer is: http://www.ancestry.com/subscribe/freepromo.asp?sourcecode=A11AF I deliberated whether or not to forward this offer on to you, but then decided that you could do a great deal of free research in the next couple of weeks! I hope each of you will check through what is available, and wish you good luck in your research. Be sure to let us know any new discoveries! Thanks, LaRae Gray County -- TXGRAY listmgr. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgray/ Their notice in today's newsletter..... ============================================================ FREE ACCESS TO ANCESTRY.COM SUBSCRIBER DATABASES ============================================================ Ancestry.com is offering free access to all of its databases through July 31, 2000.

Dear John, My grandmother and grandfather lived in Lefors. I don't know where they were buried or when they died. My Grandmother's name was Edna Mae White Campbell and my Grandfather's name was Jack William Campbell. He is listed as J.W. Campbell in at least one document. Are there any Campbell's on your cemetery list? Thanks Sheila Campbell Atlanta, GA "John A. Mead" wrote: > Posted on: Gray Co.

Posted on: Gray Co. Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Gray?read=18 Surname: McAdams ------------------------- John, Thank you for looking for me. Great to hear from you again!You tried to find my Grandfather,Charles McAdams, in Gray Co. for me a while back. I found HIM buried in Hunt Co. and now am searching for his younger brother,James Walter. Have accquired an old post card that he mailed his sister,post marked McLean,probably late 20's,so assumed he lived near-by.The Grandma McAdams MIGHT be his wife,that's pretty wierd!My Grandmother McAdams is buried there also, but she died in 1950 & apparently isn't even listed!But I heard his sisters had gone to Gray Co. to attend his funeral,so that's why I'm checking there, and with no name other than Grandma McAdams(Poor record keeping!)I don't know what to think or how to proceed! Thank you so much for replying..Bobbie

Posted on: Gray Co. Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Gray?read=17 Surname: McAdams ------------------------- In reference to your query, a list of those buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in McLean lists a "Grandma McAdams", buried in 1955. Very frustrating--no full name, and no date of burial, which would enable me to get an obituary from our mcrofilmed issues of the "McLean News", in Lovett Library, Pampa. I went to the Gray County Clerk's office in Pampa, and checked the indexes to the death certificates. Nothing for James Walter McAdams, or for any McAdams in 1955 or around there. I do not know that "Grandma" was the wife of James Walter, but hoped that I could find a date of death for her, and an obit, and maybe that would mentioned James Walter. No McAdams in the Pampa directory or the Feist areawide directory including Gray and some surrounding counties. There are 2 in Stinnett, in Hutchinsion County. Might write and see if they could be descended from James Walter.

Posted on: Gray Co. Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Gray?read=16 Surname: Darnall, Luna, Fatheree, Evans ------------------------- In reference to your query concerning these Gray County families--have had little luck so far. The Fatheree family is locally prominent, and there is a writeup on VE and Hattie and their descendants in the Gray County History book, written in 1986. However, have not found the Darnalls in Pampa city directories from 1933, the earliest we have at Lovett Library, Pampa (Pampa directories started in 1929). Do you know where and when they died? If here, then might be able to get an obit from the microfilmed Pampa papers which would give a complete list of their children. Have not found an Ebb Luna so far in Pampa city directories,. Early directories list an Hamilton Luna, wife Neta. Well, not early--he appears in the 1950s and continues on into the 1950s. Pampa phone book lists some Lunas--could be descended from H. M., might know something about this Ebb. No luck so far on R. L. Evans. Some city directories mention a Ray, wife Maxine, who was the city engineer in 1951. Might try to get an obit for Maxine, assuming that she is dead and that she died here, and see if it mentions her maiden name. There were 12 Evans families in 1951, and many Evans families in the current phone book--might write them and see if they know of an R. L.

Posted on: Gray Co. Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Gray?read=15 Surname: Hugg, Kite ------------------------- In reference to your query concerning Huggs and Kites in McLean in Gray County--I have a list of those buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in McLean up to the end of 1997. For Huggs, there are: G. T., died 1973; Junie Neal, died 6 December 1940; Noah, died 1988; Ollie Mae, died 1969; and W. Paul, died 1954. I have the obits of W. Paul and Ollie Mae. For Kites, there are Elvin, died 1986; and Mrs. J. D., died 1961. There are no Olivers listed. There are several Burrs listed, but no Henry Allen. No Elza Floyde Hall. No Gravenor. I could furnish you copies of obits for at least W. Paul Hugg and Elvin Kite, if you like. Where did your father died, and where is he buried? In Gray County? If so, I could be an obit for him, if you knot the date of death.
