Hello, I have no idea when Shelby County was formed, or when the first census was done, but would appreciate it if anyone could direct me toward finding, or possibly do a lookup for me on the surnames Cox, Culberson, Culbertson, in the early years of the county on up as far as they would care to look.

Hi, I have just recently started working on my mother's family history. I have been able to trace my grandmother to Shelby County and was hoping to find some relatives out there. My grandmother was Arbor Lee Nixon and she married William Eugene Craig, Sr. on December 2, 1915 somewhere in Texas. She was born on January 27, 1900 in Shelby, Texas. Her parents were Thomas Houston Nixon and Alice Billingsley. She died in Hemphill, Texas on February 26, 1967 and is buried in the cemetry in Hemphill.Thanks for all of your help.

Thanks to Reba Jernigan Powers again for transcribing the Cedar Yard Cemetery. She is really going after this project. Also thanks to Vickie Sample Martin for submitting the Sample Cemetery. Both are now online from the cemetery page of Shelby County. I plan on making a trip over the Thanksgiving holidays so I plan on transcribing a few myself...... Jane Sanford Keppler

Eastman and Ancestry, Inc. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D - Genealogy Web Site Sells Your Name and E-mail Address It's a tough world. Lots of businesses sell their customer lists these days. The result is that you get junk mail and marketing phone calls from all sorts of companies trying to sell you something you probably don't want. The newest twist is "spam mail", unwanted e-mails that advertise all sorts of junk. Now a well-known genealogy Web site is contributing to the spam mail that you receive and apparently is profiting from personal information that they obtain from you under the guise of helping you do genealogy research. In fact, the Web site apparently is a "front", as the main purpose seems to be gathering personal information about you and then selling that information. The Family Tree House Web site at http://www.usaafter.com claims that it is "the Association for FamilyTree Enrollment and Registry." The home page says, "This site offers free family tree software and links to key genealogy sites. The software is available on-line. You can build your FamilyTree House in real time, no downloading is required." They also say, "...you can create and register your own on-line FamilyTree. And because it is on-line, you can enlist the help of other family members by giving them your personal access code to allow them to fill in the missing branches--it's a project the whole family can participate in no matter where they live." On another page the site advises, "When requesting information, please make sure you include your name, mailing address and the information you would like." After they collect all the personal information from you and your other family members, the owners of Family Tree House apparently package the information and sell it to other companies that send junk mail or spam e-mails. On a different Web site, the owners of Family Tree House offer "a file of 33,600 last-12-month registrants of the Family Tree House, an association that offers Web site members free software and links to genealogy sites." The file they sell reportedly contains information about each person's date of birth, gender, e-mail address, state and ZIP code. The Web advertisement says that the file contains listings for 33,600 people who have left personal information on the Family Tree House site. To check for yourself, first look at http://www.usaafter.com and then look at: http://www.mediacentral.com/Magazines/DirectNewsline/Archive/1998100910.ht= m =3D=3D=3D=3D PAALLEGH Mailing List =3D=3D=3D=3D To unsubscribe from the list or the digest send only the word unsubscribe to mailto:[email protected] or mailto:[email protected] --part0_909952919_boundary--

Did he marry Mary Ann HAMMER, daughter of Elisha HAMMER from the Shelby Co area. Elisha was born in Missouri. They were married about 1855, probably in Shelby Co, although I have not found a marriage record. They were in Kaufman County in 1870 and in Shelby County in 1880. The 1870 census gives Mary's birthplace as Texas, but the 1880 census gives her birthplace as Alabama, as well as both parents. I can not find them in 1900. I think she died and Giles married Lou Herrington and maybe moved to Louisiana. Could Mary have been a HAMNER instead of a HAMMER. I have found a possibliity in Tuscaloosa, Alabama that could be her and the heritage goes a great distance past her. I also need to know the names of the children of General Giles and Mary and General Giles and Lou. I have some of them but noot all. --part0_909614625_boundary--

Hi, Does anyone know why the county was named "Shelby"? Also, does anyone know of any wagon trains or groups of settlers that may have come to Shelby in 1839? Thanks Jeremy Fountain http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/7170

Again, a very special thank you to my cousin, Reba Jernigan Powers for transcibing the Mt. Herman Cemetery. You can access it by going to the Shelby County homepage at : www.rootsweb.com/~txshelby/ then go to the cemetery listings. Jane Sanford Keppler
