“Following the Civil War, Texas’ path to re-unification with the U.S. took many twists and turns before adoption of the 1876 Constitution (the constitution still in effect today) cemented Texas’ place in the United States. It was a time of change for Texas. But all of the changes provide genealogists with unique records and opportunities for research.”
