Just wanted to let all of you know in reference to maps: A small genealogical store near the Clayton Library in Houston has "sets" of maps for different states. I have a set of maps for LA (ancestors from there) 1810 - 1920 and do not remember the price, but was not expensive. Also have a single map of the "Republic of Texas" 1836 - 1846 show counties, Indian nationalities, etc. These maps are distributed by: American Genealogical Lending Library P O Box 244 Bountiful, UT 84010 Hope this will help you!
