This came in another list. I might make a personal comment, re Texas, at least. I was born right here in Victoria County in 1935. The search engine cannot find me, whether I use Exact, Soundex, or Metaphone search style. So, I thought I'd mention that if the person you are after does not show in this database (my brother, born here, is in it), then write anyway to the county you believe the records are in. I can guarantee you that my birth record is in our downtown county record book, I've got a copy and viewed it myself, in the county vital records birth books. There are death records in the county, same place. There must be many records still in the counties that aren't, and may never be, in the state records. We've been told many times to check the counties if they aren't at state archives. This database is just a case in point for us to look there, if your person isn't in these. Shoot, I feel bad no one can find me here, if they wanted to. Well, California and Texas are on, hope you find yours! bj The following Vital Records for California are now online for the years 1905 - 1995: Birth: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/birth/search.cgi Death: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi For Texas the following records are online: Birth - 1926 - 1995; Marriages - 1966 - 1997; Divorces: 1968 - 1997; Deaths: 1964 - 1998: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/graphics/texas.html There are search engines for both so one can look up all of a particular surname or whatever other criteria you may wish to use. Be SURE and use the soundex and metaphone searches, EXACT can miss your person. -------------------------------- End of TXVICTOR-D Digest V00 Issue #65 ************************************** From root@lists6.rootsweb.com Tue Aug 1 19:19:27 2000 Return-Path: <root@lists6.rootsweb.com> Received: from lists6.rootsweb.com (lists6.rootsweb.com [63.92.80.125]) by listsearches.rootsweb.com (8.10.1/8.10.1) with ESMTP id e722JRw25720 for <indexer@listsearches.rootsweb.com>; Tue, 1 Aug 2000 19:19:27 -0700 Received: (from root@localhost) by lists6.rootsweb.com (8.10.1/8.10.1) id e722JS816948 for indexer@listsearches.rootsweb.com; Tue, 1 Aug 2000 19:19:28 -0700 Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 19:19:28 -0700 Message-Id: <200008020219.e722JS816948@lists6.rootsweb.com> From: TXVICTOR-D-request@rootsweb.com Subject: TXVICTOR-D Digest V00 #65 X-Loop: TXVICTOR-D@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <TXVICTOR-D@rootsweb.com> archive/volume00/65 Precedence: list MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/digest; boundary="----------------------------" To: TXVICTOR-D@rootsweb.com Reply-To: TXVICTOR-L@rootsweb.com ------------------------------ Content-Type: text/plain TXVICTOR-D Digest Volume 00 : Issue 65 Today's Topics: #1 Cemeteries ["Billye D.
