The Hood County Genealogical Society had a tremendous response regarding our e-mail entitled "The Brick Wall" and the availability of the Judge Henry Davis Papers for additional genealogical research. Twenty-one separate requests were made for 31 surnames! Frank Saffarrans and the HCGS volunteers have been diligently processing the requests. I have another resource that should help you. It is one of my best genealogical tools. A new search engine came on-line in 1999 called Google. Yes, it does have a silly little name, but it is fast and powerful! Just be very specific in what you enter for the keywords. Example: If you enter "Hood" you would get thousands of hits on Hood County, Fort Hood, Robin Hood, and the Ku Klux Klan. Be more specific, like "Lipan Hood County Texas" or "Outlaws Hood County Texas" or "Your Family Surname Hood County Texas," etc. The Google web crawler finds your key words that are embedded deep in the web pages. You will be amazed at the pieces of information you can glean! http://www.google.com Best wishes, Virginia Hale WebPages Staff Editor Hood County Genealogical Society
