Oh, if you haven't used any GenWeb sites, you are in for a treat.
Hyperlink below for TXGenWeb site.Bookmark it for later use.Scroll down to “TX County Index” option, find your county and click and look at everything.Sites are manned by volunteers, so they vary in material and information offered.Post your query; plus, ask if anyone has a copy of a county history, and will they check their copy for any possible info on your family.If cemeteries not online, ask if a collection of material, or book has been published on local cemeteries, and can someone check the index for you.

TX is a state with lots of good “stuff”, click and look, try “Texas Research Help”, it will lead you to such as:Handbook of TX Online (good for those TX towns not on maps, early settlers, history etc); Confederate Museum (all Rebs); TX Ranger Museum (both have records); TX Confederate Pension Idx Online (different then Museum); TX State Library & Archives etc etc.
When you finish with ALL of TX, see very first option on that site – USGenWeb Project – click and you are at the U.S. level, from there you can choose any state, and county/counties within those states – you are off and running, again. BTW, if you have a state for an ancestor, but no county, every GenWeb state has an "unknown" county site, too.I posted on KY's and had great results, so try "everything".Just be sure to pack a lunch before you begin.Happy Hunting.
