    1. [TXGRAY] Gray County webpage news
    2. Hi all, There have been a couple of new databases added to the Gray County TXGenWeb page < http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgray/ > in the past few days that I'd like to let you know about. I'm VERY happy to tell you about the new Hillcrest Cemetery roster that has been added to the Gray County page. Our list 'Angel', John Mead, located the transcription in the Texas Tombstone Project pages, and passed the information along to us. The McLean cemetery rolls were transcribed by Gloria Kunkel Harrison and Pat Kunkel. Pat, as I discovered after contacting her regarding placing the data on the Gray page, is the wife of an old friend and McLean classmate of mine, Eddie Kunkel. The cemetery listings are current through the end of 1999, and are presented on two pages: A through K and L through Z. The second addition to the page are Gray County Marriages for the years 1966, 67, 68, 69, and 1970. There are just under 400 registrations for most of the individual years given, and the names of the brides and grooms are now searchable through the site search engine (as are the new cemetery listings and other databases on the page). I wish we had records for earlier County marriages than those made available online by the State of Texas....if any of you have access to early County birth-marriage-death records, please let me know. You may remember posts last summer regarding a project to gather photos and biographical material on Early Sheriffs of Gray County....there is now a new webpage that has the results of that project, and the beginnings of a new project to showcase the Earliest Texas Panhandle Sheriffs. Deputy Sheriff Gary Noblett has sent us all the photos, graphics, and text material for the new Gray Co. Sheriff's Office: http://www.pan-tex.net/usr/s/sheriff/index.html and dhtr Eireann and I have been putting the page together for them. I hope you will all stop by and say 'hey' in the guestbook! Take care, LaRae
