This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Boyd and Hanna (Hannah) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4kB.2ACI/1840 Message Board Post: I find a lot of info on these families posted on family trees in World Connect and other that has not been verified. My grandfather was the grandson of John Hanna but it has not been verified that his mother's given name was Mary. A John Boyd appears on the Union Parrish Census next to the Hanna's but we do not know if this is the Boyd that married the Hanna daughter or even that his name was John. We do not know if this daughter was from his first or second family since we do not have her date of birth. We do not know that John Hanna's first wife was named Celia. I am concerned that wrong info will confuse researchers for these families. Please e-mail me if you have questions.

The WW 1 draft cards are a wonderful genealogy tool. In 2003 I located a birthplace for an ancestor that was my brick wall for 18 yrs. by using the WW 1 draft cards. Also your ancestor may not have served in WW 1 but he still had to register. Here is my husband's grandfather's card (grandfather died in 1927): _http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhender/ww1freeman.jpg_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhender/ww1freeman.jpg) If you have one that has a Henderson Co. connection and you would like me to post it, just scan it and send it as a jpg file and I can load it on the Henderson Co. website.

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. Scott Fitzgerald, President
