Has any one "READ" the Gholson cemetery? RED PETERS

If you have been thinking about planning a weekend trip to do research in McLennan County, here is a chance you might not want to miss. I don't belong to this group, but I went last year and it was a blast. The second annual Genealogy Lock in will be held on Friday October 19th at 6 p.m. till Midnight. The doors lock at 7 but you are free to leave when you are ready. This is a great night to research with lots of different short discussions, prizes, and food. The only patrons allowed in the library this night will be genealogy researchers. This is also a great night to catch many of the people who are the most knowledgeable about McLennan County and its history.Last year there were plenty of people willing to listen and give you the best advice they can. If you have more questions about this night please contact: William Buckner at (254) 750-5945 or bbuckner@ci.waco.tx.us or the President of the genealogy group Bowman Price at (254) 753-4018 or bbaprice@mindspring.com.

Carol Couch has been adding McLennan County obits to the genconnect board. The Harper's you mentioned came thru a few months ago. I kept them because of a Harper Cemetery in the Waco area and I don't know if they're related. I'll resend them.

Hi everyone! Haven't been working on my genealogy for very long, but I'm pretty happy with how much I've gathered so far. Now I'd like to see if anyone out there knows any information on these individuals. I do not have any birth/death information. All I know is they are from McLennan County - more than likely from the Waco area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. George C. HARPER, Sr. Fannie Burk-HARPER Jacob Westmoreland THOMPSON Edna Virginia Taylor-THOMPSON Thank you so much! -Cindy

Hi! I am looking for a gentleman and his wife. His name was Louis Black and hers was Clara Starrett Black. They lived in the town of Mart,Tx. in the early 1900's. I do believe that he might have had some brothers in the area and one is believed to have been a police officer there. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Carmen Ward You can contact me at : thewards@ctesc.net

It can also be because the parents couldn't come up with a name before they left the hospital. This happened quite often. I see it regularly in many rural areas and many times in my trees.

Howdy, TX Birth General Records calls his Cecil Inf Of KLING. "Inf Of" may indicate he died as an infant before leaving the hospital.

I'm looking for the whereabouts of a Gerald Stanley Kling that was born July 12, 1937, in Waco, Texas to Cecil Kling and Lois Hall. His mother did not bring him home to Oklahoma after his birth. He could have stayed with the Kling family or put up for adoption. Thank you.

Just found out that Nyla Alford passed away in Waco on 12 April 2001. She was connected to the American Red Cross for many years and the whole family were good friends in the mid 1970s. Could someone please send be her obit. Thanks David Strickland dstrickland@optekinc.com Dallas, TX

Dog Tags Found In Viet Nam On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who went to Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy selling old GI dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet Nam War. They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting from the sale of these tags. Upon returning to the U.S., they decided to go back to Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying 19 cents per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is to return the tags to surviving family members, when they can find them. The process has already begun with one set being turned over to a grieving Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)! These two men have set up a website, "http://www.founddogtags.com" listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased. If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a loved one in Viet Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a name, there's an e-mail address to contact these two men and to help in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful survivor. I'm sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an important item returned. Please help by checking this website. And please send the website address to everyone you know. The more people who see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the tags to those who lost loved ones in Viet Nam! The discovery of these tags after so many years from servicemen dead, missing and in some cases still alive is mindboggling when you consider the emotions that will be reignited.I leave you to your own thoughts on this one «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Peggy, My greatgrandfather, William Nathaniel Irby, worked there during WWII also. I have 3 of his IDs, one is a photo ID card and the other two are metal buttons with a picture and ID number. Maybe they knew each other? Patrick Cuff

My dad worked at this plant in the early 1950's. It was PHILIPPS 66 then. It changed hands and became Rocketdyne in the mid 50's. I still remember the wonderful company picnics Phillips 66 used to give their employees.

The plant was spread over a fairly wide area immediately south and west of McGregor, TX, and was begun about 1942-1943. It borders on the city limits, was spread out to decrease the size of an accidental explosion and it was used to load powder/explosive mat'l into shells and bombs made elsewhere, I believe. I'd not say when it actually opened but it made a significant contribution to the WW II war effort. It was closed after the war, but was used by Rocketdyne for rocket motor production later (1960s, ?). It was shown as a Naval Weapons Reserve Plant on a 1988 Roads of Texas map, and on a 1998 Delorme Texas Road Atlas but not labelled. I believe it is currently in use by Texas A & M University. I believe that http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/MM/hgm4.html will "take" you to McGregor and explain more and better about it than I've done. Bestes', Ben
