DON; I HAVE PORTIONS OF THE 1900 AND 1910 CENSUS BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TOWNSHIP, ED.NUMBER. AND SOMETIMES DISTRICT. FIRST,YOU NEED TO USE SOUNDEX. ALL THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE IN YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. AN INDEX WILL GIVE YOU THE SUR-NAME NUMBER. FROM THERE YOU GO TO CARD-EX(STATE OF TEXAS) AND LOOK FOR THE 3 DIGIT SUR-NAME NUMBER. THE IS ON MICRO-FILM. THE LIBRARY MUST HAVE A MICRO-FILM MACHINE TO RUN THIS FILM THROUGH. NOW , THE SUR-NAME WILL BE LISTED IN ABC ORDER. NOT ONLY WILL YOUR WETZEL NAME BE LISTED(IF THEY WERE LISTED IN THE 1900 CENSUS)BUT OTHER SURNAMES CLOSE TO THE SAME BEGINNING SPELLING FOR EXAMPLE, WET. EACH NAME WILL LIST LIKE THE1900 CENSUS WITH THE NAME, HEAD OF FAMILY AND FAMILY MEMBERS LISTED ETC/ THE TOWN, COUNTY WILL ALSO BE LISTED AND WHAT STATE THE PERSON WAS BORN. UP IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER WILL LIST THE CENSUS FILM LOCATION. NEXT YOU GO TO THAT LOCATION AND GET THE FEDERAL 1900 CENSUS. THE CARD-X SYSTEM IS GREAT BECAUSE IT LIST E! VERYONE IN TEXAS THAT HAS THE SAME NUMBER OF THE SURNAME YOU ARE SEARCHING. GRAYSON CO. IS A LARGE COUNTY. I HAVE FOUND MANY OF MY FAMILY CENSUS THIS WAY. I HOPE I HAVE NOT CONFUSED YOU. YOU PROBABLY ARE FAMILIAR WITH SOUNDEX ALREADY. I AM LUCKY THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE A GREAT GENEOAGY DEPT ON HAND WITH 10-15 MICRO-FILM MACHINES AND EVERY STATE CENSUS RECORDS ON FILM/AFTER ONE YEAR, GOING EVERYDAY, 5DAYS A WEEK, I WAS ABLE TO TRACK MY SURNAMES FROM ENGLAND, VA.,TN.,KY.A ND NOW TEXAS.GOOD LUCK. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER NEEDS.

Does anyone have an index for the 1900 and 1910 census? Trying to determine when Charlie C. Wetzel and Callie Burk came to Grayson County. Thanks Don

Genivieve J. Brown (Jamie) b. 1892 married John Samuel Rencher prior to 1913. She died in the flu epidemic of 1918 along with two of her children, Jasmia and "infant" Rencher. The only survivors were her husband, and one son, Jack S. Rencher. John S and his son moved to California with Johns mother and siblings about 1923. Jamie was buried in Fairview Cemetery along with her father-in-law (died 1907) and her children and one brother in law, Charles Rencher who died in 1920 of an accidental gunshot wound (he was 16 yrs old.) I would love to know if anyone is familiar with this family bev

PIERCE FAMILY Looking for connections and information relating to the PIERCE FAMILY of Grayson County, Texas. THE PIERCE'S lived in Grayson County, near Whitewright for over 50 years, but I have found very little information applicable to this PIERCE family. FATHER: JACOB PIERCE, B 1799 in Kentucky, D 1884 in Texas MOTHER ELIZABETH HAZEL PIERCE, B 1808 in Kentucky, D 1878 in Texas CHILDREN: RICHARD PIERCE GEORGE H. PIERCE LOUISA PIERCE ADELAIDE PIERCE A. J. PIERCE J. H. PIERCE MARY PIERCE WILLIAM H. PIERCE RICHARD F. PIERCE JACOB R. PIERCE (my grandfather) BACKGROUND ON THE PIERCE FAMILY: This family moved from Kentucky to Kentucky Town, Texas (near Whitewright) in the early 1850's) ELIZABETH HAZEL PIERCE was related to ABRAHAM LINCOLN through her mother ELIZABETH HAZEL. JACOB PIERCE AND ELIZABETH HAZEL PIERCE are buried side by side in Grayson Co., Texas in the Everheart Cemetery near the town of Whitewright Texas.. J. H. PIERCE lived in Washington, DC and worked for the Department Of The Treasury. RICHARD F. FIERCE lived in Nebraska, JACOB R. PIERCE served in the US Army, worked surveying railroad lines in Texas, was a street car conductor in Omaha, Nebr. and later farmed in Nebraska, married Matilda Bast and had three children, Nettie, Eugene and Gladys. He died in College Springs, Iowa about 1913. GEORGE H. PIERCE was killed in the civil war and was buried on the field of battle at Wilson Creek. All the other children lived in Texas and are buried there. Would appreciate any information relating to this (THE PIERCE) FAMILY.

I would appreciate any information on where the PIERCE property was located in Grayson County. Sincerely, KENNETH L. MCNUTT MCNUTTK447@aol.com

Thank you so much for checking on my Dossey/Dossie name. Jane

Could you please look up TATE in your plat book? Thank you !

Some of the surnames in the subject line were not in Grayson county, but many are from KY and have descendants that were in the north Texas area, including Grayson. Some specifics for more common surnames: CARTER, Joseph John, b. 5 Nov 1849, d. 11 Jan 1919 in Denison. Buried in Daniel Cemetery, approx 0.5 mi. north of W. Danieldale Rd on Bolton Boone (west of Hampton road) in or near DeSoto, TX BUSH, John Henry, b. 26 Sep 1874 in Trigg Co KY, d. 13 Feb 1944 in Dallas. (also seeking info on his 2nd marriage).

Looking for information of this father and son. They and their families came to Texas about 1909 from Arkansas. I think both men and lots of their family members died and are buried in Grayson Co TX. Kathy

Could you please take a look in your Grayson Co Plat book and see if there is a listing for a William or George Marshall? They should have arrived in Grayson Co TX from Arkansas about 1909. Thank you. Kathy, Killeen, TX

Could you please check for McDonnell/McDonald in the plat Book you mention below? My McDonnell's came to Grayson Co. about 1880.

Have a school question for everyone or anyone - if my grandmother lived outside of Van Alstyne - what school would she have attended? Is there a website for the Van Alstyne school that tells when it open? Any help would be much appreciated.
