Posted on: Grimes Co. Tx Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Grimes?read=68 Surname: Gellette ------------------------- I need info of any kind about an O.R. Gellette who lived in Grimes County, TX in the early 20th century. He had two children born there. He later moved to Louisiana. They are listed in the 1920 U.S. census

Received this from another list, and thought I would pass it on. This information is making the rounds of the library world, due to the American Library Association (ALA) convention about to take place in Chicago. No doubt "subscriptions" to access the database will be expensive, so genealogists will need to find out which libraries near them will be planning to subscribe. Colleagues, This will be a big story. Heritage Quest is going online with the entire US Census, all 12,555 rolls of film. The U.S. Census from 1790 to 1920, fully digitized and going online. You can get more information at a demo during ALA in Chicago, on Saturday, July 8, from 9:30 - Noon in the Hyatt Regency Grand Ballroom E, or stop by the Heritage Quest booth, #3625. It will be available by subscription to libraries when it is up this Fall at GenealogyDatabase.com. This is expected to be the largest data base of any subject on the Internet.

I have been told by a descendant of Sim Taylor Doughtie that there was a Sheriff in Grimes County in the late 1800's or early 1900's who was called "Two-Gun Taylor." Does anyone know anything about this sheriff--his given name and the dates he was in office?

You and me both - I have bought a number of old photos over the years just to give them a home. What can I say? I love them as my own. My little adoptees. Putting our Grimes Co. photos online sounds like a great way to reconstruct a little of the visual history of the place and its people. Leta

I love old pictures. When I see them in antique stores I get so sad. Would love to have a sharing place.
