The table below lists some of the areas of my research where I haven't been able to find the information needed to get through the "road block." The names that are highlighted have marriage records available; click on those names to see a copy of the certificate I found for them. If you have any possible connections or leads to these people, please write me at traceyfromkc@att.net so we can trade information. The counties listed in the table are in Texas (unless otherwise noted). Thank you so much for your help!
