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
