Second, if there is then do they have any publications? Cemetery records, marriage records, 1880 census published, 1900 census published? I am trying to find info on Dan BRYAN and Josephine BRYAN. They were siblings. According to their half brother's obituary, they were living in Hillsboro in 1942. Was there a city directory or something like that to check for them? I have nothing on them. Not even really sure of when they were born. Thanks for any assistance. I am shooting in the dark, hoping for anything.

WHITNEY MESSENGER SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1895 Little Joe T., the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W.T. Wade, who was affected like his younger sister, Era Inez, whose death we chronicaled last week, died last Sunday night. The remains were laid to rest beside the fresh made grave of the infant daughter at Degraffenried cemetery, Tuesday morning, Rev. J.T. Hunt conducting the funeral service. The taking off by cruel death of two innocent cherubins from a happy home seems an unmerciful dispensation of Providence, and the burdened hearts of the parents are aching almost unendurably, yet the sweet consolation affordsitself from the satisfying words of holy writ, where =in we are told that God doeth all things for the best. The entire community are sincerely sorrowful for the parents in their distress and if sympathy is an antidote, they share unlimitedly therein. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Thank you so much for the new search feature. I searched Burross and was surprised to find that someone had posted a question about Dora Burross at Burross Cemetery which I had provided info for. I may have found a new cousin! I am anxiously awaiting a reply. If you'd like to put my email addy on the page with Burross cemetery, I'd be happy to have it there, since I can put folks in touch with other researchers for almost all those buried there. Peggy

Barb: Seems to be working perfectly right now. (Thanks for your great job on the Sarah photo!). I did send the URL to another researcher who has Texas ancestors and she could not access it; said she said she was getting a message from her "Content Advisor." Should the site be accessible to anyone with the URL? Deven
