The Journal, German-Texan Heritage Society, Vol. 24, Numbers 1, 2, & 3, 2002. Softcover, oversized 8-1/2x11-1/2, 306 pages plus an approximate twenty page membership directory, giving the names, address, and phone numbers of this big society. The journals are generously illustrated with long ago pictures of people , places, and things . Maps abound, and these journals are in new or near new condition. Issue No. 3 has had the back few pages bent back and creased, and there are former owner address labels. There are no markings. These are really huge quarterlies, each having over a hundred pages, and are underwritten by the Germania Insurance Companies. You will really be getting your money's worth! Because of the number of articles in each journal, I am not going to list those articles pertaining to queries, news of the society or its members, only the featured articles.
