Please send me a copy of my response to your request. Having a new iPhone & an 86 year old mind caused me NOT to be able to make a copy for my records. My email address is: outofwoodtx@gmail.com. Thanks again for allowing us to be members. Dr Alan& Jane Siebenthall
I’m looking to talk with someone from around Harris, Texas and Borger Texas. My question is then what Genealogy Society would be the closest??
Thanks, Mary
