WANTED, Help transcribing books about Texas for http://www.TrailsToThePast.org.

 

I have several ebooks about Texas (or a particular area of Texas) that I would like to transcribe / format for posting on the Texas county pages at Trails To The Past.  All of these books are in the ‘public domain’ (not copyrighted) and were written in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. 

 

The books contain history about the state, Texas counties and cities as well as biographies (hundreds of them) about those who were instrumental in the formation of Texas as we know it today.

 

I am currently working on “Types of Successful Men of Texas” by Lewis E Daniell.  I have completed a bio on R. M. Page of Tarrant Co., TX (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txtarrtp/biographies-p.html) and I am working on a bio about Oran Milo Roberts (17^th governor of Texas).

 

I am looking for volunteers who would like to assist in the transcribing/formatting of these books.  No pressure.  You can work as much or as little as your schedule permits.  If you think you would be interested in helping, please contact me at charlie.vines@gmail.com.

 

Blessings,

 

Charlie Vines

The team at GenealogyTrails.com spends time throughout the year researching and transcribing data for different states. All data that comes in is posted to the
appropriate county/state. During the first three weeks of December we are
focusing on Texas (the entire state). I currently host Dallas, Hunt, and
Lubbock Counties within the state. If anyone would be interested in posting any data related to Texas (or anywhere else for that matter), please forward it to me orto the appropriate county host and we will work to get it posted.

GenealogyTrails is dedicated to provided a resource for free genealogy data.
The main website is www.genealogytrails.com.

Happy Hunting,

I am looking for info about my great grandfather, William Howard Hunt and his Wife Lillie. He was born Feb. 22, 1876 in Salem, VA. and died around 1900. He married Lillie Belle Watson in Llano, TX. She was born June 30, 1882 in Llano, and died in 1934 in San Angelo, TX. They had one son, my grandfather, Thomas Rae Hunt. Lillie later married Raymond Voss. I can not find any info on either of William or Lillies families. No records of any kind.

I'm happy to have found this group. My paternal grandfather, Willis Oliver Treadwell was born in Kenedy in Karnes County in 1884. His father Oliver Goldsmith Treadwell was born in Mississippi but I don't know what year he moved to Texas. I do know he was there during the Civil War; he fought with McCord's Texas Cavalry. My grandfather's mother, Arcanie Elizabeth Watkins Treadwell, came from Georgia after the Civil War with her family. Her father was Baylis Sanford Watkins and her mother Caroline Treadwell Watkins (yes, I'm a Treadwell twice!) When my husband was stationed at Ft. Hood we went to Kenedy and met my wonderful cousin Effie McClane Williams, my grandfather's first cousin. She was retired and genealogy was her hobby; she gave me lots of wonderful family information. She was related to me through the Watkins but told me what she could about the Treadwells.

A research resource I love is the Corpus Christi Public Libraries Local History Databases!
