I am in the process of rescanning all of the images in my Mom’s file, to add to my RootsMagic database. Finicky that I am, the images that transferred over from my other programs seem a bit fuzzy to me, and I want everything to be just right…

I just mailed the request for Crist Carrico’s death certificate! I sorta forgot, I guess. Too much excitement! Anyway, that’s in the mail and on the way, so in about 4 weeks (if I filled out the money order correctly!) or less, maybe I’ll know a bit more about him. That’s if the state of [...]

The James Bennett family from San Saba is a big one: 12 kids. I have been going through my records for each child, mostly census at this point. One son, Thomas, was a prominent physician in 1900 Austin. Another son, Albert was a deputy sheriff in San Saba and also a rancher in Montana. There [...]
