To Sarah in Texas: (and others) If your kin went to Texas, try these sites. You can read forever. A lotta folks left the deep South for Texas in the 1830's till well after the Civil War. It was the same deal as Virginia and Kentucky--free land and all the Indians you could handle. Plus the entire Mexican army. Ha.
