Your Texas state coordinator is Debbie
Texas is in need of County Hosts.  It is our hope that most, if not all, of Texas' counties can have their own hosts, who can transcribe data and upload it to the county's webpage.   If interested - please view our Volunteer Information Page and contact Kim  (html knowledge and a desire to transcribe data is required). I would very much like to make you part of this project.  If you have information that you'd like to share about any town, family, county or subject, please send it to us and we'll make sure it gets posted to the right county.  We are looking for Biographies, Obituaries, Newspaper Stories, History and Family stories.  Email me   Welcome Janice our new host for Upton County.  Check out her additions to the site.   Are you looking for your ancestors?  Below are links to free data which you might find useful.
