While the subject of Indianola is here, may I remind everyone about the project of the Victoria County Historical Commission. We started a database recording names and info concerning immigrants who came to Texas thru Indianola. Here is the URL http://lois2.uhv.edu/vrhc/manuscripts/indianola/home.cfm If you have knowledge of anyone coming thru this port please check this out [even if you don't you might find it interesting].

All, Clayton Library in Houston has the indexes 1903-1997. Dallas Public Library has and has copies ofactual death certs. on microfilm. Texas State Library in Austin has some indices in book form, plus microprint. Remember some counties keep vital statistics (births, marriages, etc. before 1903). 1903 is when the law that created the keeping of vital records in Texas went into affect, but not good statewide compliance until 1920's +/-.

Is there a list somewhere of the 120 immigrants that originally settled Fredricksburg? Thanks, James

FYI, Clayton Library, 5300 Caroline, Houston, is considered to be the 3rd largest genealogical library in US. It is comprised of 2 bldgs. One (the Clayton House and old Clayton Library) holds the family history books and family files. The larger main bldg. houses censuses 1790-1930, has various collections in book and microprint form. The second floor is all microprint records, the first floor is divided as USA section, followed by states section, then the foreign collection. There are over 350 CD Roms fo

Deb, The State of Texas as in the Texas State Library has Texas County REcords on microfilm as well as books. The Texas State Library is in the Texas State Archives Bldg. just East of the Texas State Capital. You need to know what you're looking for before you research anywhere!

9. [G-T] Texas Birth, death and marriage records [1]
Article in the Houston Chronicle Saturday (29 June, p.4D) about the tragic withdrawal of online vital records by the goons in Austin. No, the article didn't say goons - it's my opinion. Now we learn that Governor Goon had signed a law that seals birth records for 75 years instead of 50. The good news (sort of) is that the index of vital statistics for Texas records that used to be online can be purchased for $129 + $4.85 shipping (plus tax, I assume) from a guy who was smart enough to dowload them w

13. [G-T] Vereign immigrants [1]
I have been finding conflicting information regarding the traversal of immigrants from Indian Point during Meusebach's leadership. According to Ms. King in her book on Meusebach, "The verein wagons were in constant use hauling corn from the farms where Meusebach had arranged to purchase it. On the return trip the wagons brought the immigrants up form the coast." She also states that when he finally retained the Torrey Brothers of Houston for 100 wagons, he lost out to Zachary Taylor's army on March 8, of
14. [G-T] Re: Original Settlers in Fredericksburg [1]
In his book, "The History of the German Settlements in Texas," Rudolph Biesele says the first wagon train to Fredericksburg included 120 men, women, and children and eight armed escorts. He also says on page 140, "The complete list of the first settlers of Fredericksburg will probably never be ascertained." However, he offers a partial list of 28 persons that does include a Martin Heinemann and a "Mrs. Anton Novian, nee Heinemann." Biesele offers the opinion that the records that may have included a compl

To all: It will take a better person than me to explain the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections to all, called NUCMC by genealogists. You can use www.google.com then do a search for NUCMC and there is an explanation. Then I use the OCLC (online computer library catalog) to find "stuff" like Germans in Texas, German immigrations, etc. ANYWAY, ALOT OF THE TRANSVEREIN AND SOLMS-BRAUNFELS PAPERS ARE AT THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN HISTORY AT UT-AUSTIN IN THE BARKER HISTORY CENTER.

Deb -- I had always planned to do get into the resources at UT or the State facilities and look through them, but I had a miraculous string of good fortune researching my families and never needed to. That is, I pretty much decided that what I couldn't find, I wouldn't find in the state or UT resources, either. I won't get into how I decided that, but none of the "strings" led there. So I really can't say how good those resources are, or how to get to them, or how successful you might be. But I would advis

James -- Here are some excerpts from my own history that should clear up the "chronology" of the Meuseback wagons for you. This was taken from a bunch of sources, including the one you listed. In early March, 1846, Meusebach was finally able to contract with two brothers, John F. and David K. Torrey of Harrisburg (Houston), to begin transporting the immigrants from Indian Point to New Braunfels by wagon, a trip of one hundred sixty-five miles...After only a brief layover in New Braunfels, sixteen wagon

The following list of immigrants were among the first settlers of Fredricksburg. I am trying to find out if there are any family histories existent regarding any of these members which may reference their early experiences. These members arrived on the same ship as my ancestors, and they would have shared many of the same experiences.

25. Re: [G-T] Re: Researching State Archives... [1]
Bob, Excellent advise! I can understand how they could not do for one what they could not do for all. I think I will eventually go there to seek a copy of the Vereins contract and/or any "paperwork" that might have been brought with them from Germany. I understand that they do have that on file for quite a few. I know of the Clayton library, but where is the "George"? I lived in Houston for 12 years, but unfortunately, had not been bitten by the bug. I would only go back there out of dire necessity!
