I am looking for info on Matilda A. R. Short that married William Fincher on Dec. 2, 1874 in Gregg County, Texas. Margaret Short married Benjamin Frank Fuller in 1875 in Gregg County, Texas. Were they sisters? Who were their parents? Thanks for your time.

Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX Saturday, January 10, 2004 Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Michael Vaughn Program: "From Polls & Tithables to Jacks & Jennets -- and Everything in Between: Hidden Genealogical Gems in Tax Records" The focus of the program will be first on methods and resources for finding available tax records, including a beginning bibliography for tax record research. The primary sources for tax records, both library and archival, will be discussed, and several search methods for finding those records will be illustrated. The last part of the program will turn to case studies showing how tax records can be used to move beyond genealogical brickwalls. One study will use tax rolls from Anderson County, Texas to determine an ancestor's death date when there are no other records. Another study, using tax records from Tattnall County, Georgia will demonstrate the use of tax records to prove parental and spousal relationships in the absence of wills or marriage licenses. Mike is a retired attorney who specialized in real estate transactions and commercial law matters. He has been actively involved in genealogical research since 1955. His family has lived in East Texas since 1834. In addition to being an ETGS board member, he is a member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas and the Jamestown Society, as well as other lineage societies.

The prime requisites for all materials are that they should be as useful in 50 years as they are today. We will strive to publish a variety of material on each of the six counties represented by ETGS. Although exceptions may be made, material relating to our six counties prior to 1900 are of the most interest. Articles concerning other areas will be used occasionally if of sufficient interest to many people. Material from old and/or rare unindexed books will also be considered. Priority will be given to courthouse, Bible and cemetery records, but we are very interested in publishing the following types of source material: Biographical Family Sketches, Lodge Records, Old Diary Accounts, Census Records, Marriage Records, Old Letters, Commissioners Court Minutes, Military Muster Rolls, Post Offices, Confederate Records, Mortality Schedules, Probate Abstracts, Deed and Land Records, Newspaper Clippings, School Lists, Jury Lists, Obituaries of East Texas Citizens, Tax Lists, Library Microfilm Holdings, and Voter Lists. When submitting Bible records, please give name of person possessing Bible, give date of publication, if known, make sure all information is legible and accurate if copied by hand. When submitting cemetery records, please give exact location of cemetery, date copied and name of copier. PUBLICATION: To be considered for publication, an item or article should have a reliable reference and should not be based entirely on "tradition." We do not wish to publish items from books now in print, however, such references may be used as footnotes to clarify sources. Please be certain all material is legible. Xerox copies can be used, but typewritten articles are preferred to avoid errors in transcribing handwritten material. Please include your name, address, e-mail address and day-time telephone number with all material submitted. The editor must retain the right to accept or reject materials and to edit those chosen for publications. Credit will be given to each contributor.

ETGS does not assume responsibility for errors of fact or opinions expressed by contributors. However, we strive to publish reliable source material, and errors will be corrected when submitted in writing. ETGS POLICY ON THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICALS The East Texas Genealogical Society strives to publish a maximum of genealogical information at minimum costs, in order that the Society's publications may be widely available to all who are interested. Consistent with this objective, certain restraints are necessary in regard to replacement of periodicals, which were not received by the intended recipients. Hence, if a member, institution or other organization fails to receive a copy of THE EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS, the quarterly, ETGS must be notified within six months of the publication date of that issue. Otherwise, the intended recipient will be supplied a replacement copy only if copies are still available and only at the published price. The ETGS Newsletter, "The Bulletin," primarily carries news of short-term interest and back issues will not normally be supplied. If there is a special need for back issues, the recipient will be quoted a price for which they may be ordered. PUBLICATION DATES ARE: MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, and DECEMBER 31 of each year.
