I was told this book was put on hold & that another book had come out publishing family history. I would like to know the name of that book and when it was published. I too had several articles to submit & need to know when they will start taking articles for the Frontier Book. Vicki

Hello Ladies, I will be delighted to make digital photographs of your family's tombstones. Although I was born in Grayson County, I will need to know where Westhill Cemetery is and best route to get there and the exact location of the graves. Let me hear from you...probably off-line since I suspect everyone is not vitally interested in this venture. Don't expect over-night service. I'm a bit old and slow but extremely accurate and the price is right...all for fun and free! BTW, does Westhill have Chiggers?

I was wondering if I could ask for the same favor in taking pictures of graves I have located from Westhill. I have the map I had sent for four weeks ago of where they are buried "DUNN". We were suppose to make a trip to Sherman yesterday but my 87 year old mother in law hurt herself & we had to stay behind. I have to miss the Dunn reunion being held today from 11 am to 4 pm.

Hi, I tried to submit articles for the book and was told that a decision had been made not to publish it. Can you tell us the latest? I was really looking forward to all the families I thought would be found in such a book. Do you think there might be a possibility that the book might still be published?

The marriage records have only been microfilmed to 1911, I haven't checked how far the divorce records have been filmed but if you go to the www.familysearch.org and on the right side pick 'search the FHL catalog" you can put in any county name and state it will let you see what has been filmed and what books are available that might cover the topics. The county clerk in any Texas county can do lookups and send certifcates, true it does cost but it is less than hiring someone to go look and you get a copy. A link is on the webpages for that. Sometimes, such as the case of a marriage, the original return comes along with your certificate order of a copy. A nice bonus if it is still in the courthouse rod and vicki reynolds wrote: > Can someone tell me how to search on the web for Grayson county Texas marriages of the past, especially in the 1930's & 1940's. > Thanks!

Can you also do a search on both divorce and marriages from the 1930-1940's in line? I don't know the exact date, only know it took place in the 1930--1940's, I only have the complete name of the female and not the male. I should have mentioned this in my first email to the list. I must apologize but I have been sick and I am still not feeling well. Thanks! Vicki

Can someone tell me how to search on the web for Grayson county Texas marriages of the past, especially in the 1930's & 1940's. Thanks! I appreciate your help. Vicki

This is in the realm of being an urban legend. I know that it made the rounds 25 years ago, as a much xeroxed sheet, in the title office that I worked in; though it's probably older than that. Denise Farrell

AN EYE OPENER> READ BELOW ABT 1803 Property TITTLE for a 2003 PURCHASE. Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 11:33 AM Subject: Fw: This is great! ----- Original Message ----- From: J Larry Moss To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2003 10:08 AM Subject: Fw: This is great! Typical Government Workers Land in Louisiana Everyone who has ever bought a house can enjoy this it's too good not to share! A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client. He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title to a parcel of property being offered as collateral. The title to the property dated back to 1803, which took the Lawyer three months to track down. After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply (actual letter): "Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application, we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title. While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803. Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin." Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows (actual letter): "Your letter regarding title in Case No. 189156 has been received. I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 194 years covered by the present application. I was unaware that any educated person in this country, particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased, by the U.S., from France in 1803, the year of origin identified in our application. For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain. The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus, who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India by the Spanish monarch, Isabella. The good queen, Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus' expedition. Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world. Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana. God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back, to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it AND the FHA. I hope the hell you find God's original claim to be satisfactory. Now, may we have our damn loan?" The loan was approved.
