I just received my Genealogy Bulletin from Heritage Quest and thought I
would pass this little tid bit along for all to see.
We all know Texas became a state in 1845 so the first federal census was
in 1850 right? Wrong There was Miller County Arkansas Territory enumerated
in 1820 and again in 1830 which was within an area that is now part of North
Eastern Texas. The 1820 census was taken for people living on both the north
and south sides of the Red River, all within Texas and part of present day

We need to do some research, and they are not in the Rootsweb USA listing.
I did find them in the TexGenWeb, but I was hoping to find a mail list..
(my cousin only has free juno e-mail, and no internet connection.. she does
very well with mail lists.)
So, does anyone know if they are on Listserve or independent?

Fellow list members,
Below is a new site, which I think is wonderful and I thought you might
want to be part of it. Briefly it is a site for gaining someone to do
research in counties over the states, and you do research ONCE per month
for someone and they repay it by doing some research for someone else.
Take a look, if this sounds interesting to you.

There are several Cornett families in Cass County. I am searching for
information on two Cornett brothers who left Georgia, Harris County, about
1905 and moved to Cass Co., TX, where both were enumerated in 1910. By
1920, Mattie Culpeper Cornett, widow of Abb or Babby Cornett, was still in
Cass County, TX.
Have Cass County marriages been published? What about cemetery records?
Could someone check them for me if so? I would be most grateful. I am
writing from Oxford, England, and so am a long way away

I have recently learned that I am Franco-American.
My name is Claude Richard and I live in the southern part of France.
The circumstances surrounding my birth were concealed from me until
recently.
My father is Richard Gray and this is what I know about him:
1. He was in Oran, Algeria, during few months until end November,
1943 .
2. He may well have been in the US Army. His provisional camp
was not near the harbor or the airport.

1846. Until then, the Neutral Strip flourished. That was along the LA-TX
border. The government was near Nachitoches LA where the Federal government
tried to keep peace. Records for that era can still be found at the courthouse
there. Until that War, Mexico claimed nearly to Canada.
One of the settlers of Wavell's Colony was Daniel McKinney, son of old Daniel

I have several sources on early Miller County settlers (before 1835), if
anyone is researching this area. Permanent white settlement took place in the
area as early as 1815. The U.S. government vacillated for several years
during early settlement as to whether this area would be ceded to the Indians.
The settlers were chased south of the Red River around 1818, later they were
required to move north of the Red River. Much of old Miller County was

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to let you know I'm experiencing major hard drive problems.
I contacted my internet server regarding downloading problems and it
seems I need to uninstall Win98, reformat hard drive and reload every
program.
If you contact me and I don't immediately respond, please allow a day or
two to see what is happening with my computer. This is the 3rd time
Win98 has caused a major problem with the harddrive.
Does anyone have an aspirin?
