Cheryl, yes, I live in Fredericksburg but I don't have any data on
your Watsons. There are
several Watsons listed in the local phone directory. There are
quite a few more in the "regional" directory which includes Blanco
and other towns surrounding Fredericksburg. If you have not already
done so, visit the Gillespie County website,

http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgilles/

I also suggest two other mail lists to which you might want to
subscribe and submit your inquiry.

The German-texan list IS NOT limited to German surnames.



This is the mail list for Gillespie county. There is a similiar
list on rootsweb for Blanco County. I'm sure someone here will give
you that address.



Happy hunting. BTW, I have found that more folks are likely to
respond if you give your full name and where you live.
