Is there an index online for Texas Rangers or does someone have an index to Texas Rangers from about 1880 - 1898? I'm interested in seeing if Richard Austin Center is listed. Lee Anne

Wow, What a service. Do we bring pictures to the cemetery or the library? I am concerned about the recent vandalism - I have family members there but had not heard about this. My family members there are JOHNSON, SPILLMAN and SANDSTROM. Not sure of the name of the section they are in though. Thanks for info.

Where would the funding for this come from?

Don, If you're trying to find out where he lived in 1942, call or e-mail either the Genealogy Division of the Texas State Library or the Austin History Center. I have heard that the Genealogy Division will respond if it's as simple a look-up as that, and I have gotten excellent service by e-mail from the Austin History Center in getting a copy of an obituary from a microfilmed newspaper. If, however, you want someone to check every directory from 1942 until he disappears from the listings, as a method to figure out a likely death date, I think they aren't staffed to do that. Good luck.
