This idea you mention in your first paragraph above..... I think it would "fly", although I still owe some folks some return mail that I "met" on some of the county surname postings. One fellow, Bill Richardson, was kind enough to send an attachment with the entire "population" of a cemetery in the north part of Hardin County, and it even had references about who was what kin to who. I looked at the death records added to Hardin County. The mention of the cause of death leads me to believe that this information came from death certificates. What about deaths gotten from tombstones? Would that be duplicating something? Perhaps that would be better put under a cemetery "inventory". I'm begining to see some of your problems. I'm not real smart on this stuff, but can lists (an kind of list) be made up in a word processor and displayed without making it an html page? I can see that the html pages you made for the 1850 census must have taken as much time to make the page as it did to take the census in 1850. Anyway, I will be glad to contribute what I have collected whatever format you come up with. The counties I'm looking in are Hardin County and all bordering counties back to 1846. That's when the first Hollands were supposed to have set up their homestead where Village Creek and Hickory Creek meet. Today that's about in the center of the Big Thicket National Park.
