Several months ago, someone posted a message that contained a link a list of
sources for adhesives to use to repair broken tombstones. I thought I save
the message, but can not find it.
If you know of any sources please let me know.
Thanks.

Do you have ancestors who are from Kentucky? I sure
do and Im always looking for new and unique
resources to help me with this long-distance
research.
My g-g-g-grandmother was Julianna H.\Julia Ann H.
Whitledge Clark (b. 1819, KY d. 1847, Shelby Co.,
KY) and shortly after her death, her husband, John
A. Clark (b. 1814, Shelby Co., KY) came to Houston,
Harris County, Texas.
The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) has a wealth
of information and numerous databases
I thought I was ... I type in MS Word and save
as .txt and then cut/paste into e-mail ... I
don't know how it looks when it gets to you and
I don't know how to stop whatever is happening

The preservation of the thousands of historic cemeteries in Texas is a
major concern of many folks -- and of Save Texas Cemeteries, Inc. With
approximately 50,000 cemeteries and burial sites in Texas, time is not on
the side of saving them!
Many cemeteries are in much worse shape now than they were in the 1900s;
it appears that taking responsibility is currently not in vogue. The last
session of the Texas Legislature passed a very significant bill making
the Texas Funeral Service Commission responsib
I would do anything I can to help but, at the moment I am primary care giver

attention to a cemetery near Flatonia. Maybe next time, sorry.

Family researchers put out by library's move"

The Houston Public Library is trying to put the
genealogy back in the bottle.
To meet its fiscal 2003 budget target, the library
proposes to reduce hours at all facilities,
including the Clayton Library Center for
Genealogical Research.

most Clayton Library services, e.g., photocopiers,

Thank you James. There are a couple of coincidences here.
My great Aunt married two Bullocks & Walker is the name of some of my best
friends in the early school days.
When I can get back to work on my gene hobby, I hope to do some more
cemeteries.
I visited your site and it is impressive, I am an amateur at this stuff (web
pages) and have to K.I.S.S. keep in touch.

Asa,
I saw your message on the cemtery preservation board and was glad to get
your email address.
I had wanted to write and commend you for posting the burials in Freezeout
Cemetery (Milam County). Well done. My nephew had some kinfolk buried at
Freezeout.
I have a website wherein I post items related to my family history and also
items of general interest to those researching Milam County Roots (address
listed below). I took the liberty of linking to your cemetery site.
