Comments:This pilot site is well worth visiting:

http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0

I located numerous death certificates that were helpful in piecing together information, such as when are where deceased, where interred, father's names, and mother's surnames. I was able to locate more individuals death certificates than ones for births. I did find an instance where the cemetery info was incorrect. It may have been that the family later changed their minds on where they wanted that person interred.

Comments:HI TERRI HUNT DAVIS. I saw your posting here. I like this site too. I tried to reach you by your email address on FindAGrave, but couldn't. I'm continuing to do genealogy research of both my and my husband's families. As you know, most of his family is buried at St. John Cemetery in San Augustine. I'm from Mansfield (DeSoto Parish), Louisiana. I found another site with death certificate info that has led to the discoveries of many Sowell family connections in the 1850's onward.
Write me back at my personal email. My husband (George Clayton Sowell) and I were visting Aunt Lera (Sowell) Harper in Lufkin a month ago, and someone mentioned they saw you in Lufkin. Have you had a chance to check out St. John Cemetery on the San Augustine County TXGenWeb Archives page. It's the one where Lola Withrow is the site manager. Also, I posted the cemetery on FindAGrave, and gave a copy to the San Augustine Public Library. The lady in the genealogy dept. (Ms. Lillian) was thrilled. She said she had lots of info on the Caucasian cemeteries and family histories, but had almost no info on the African-American cemeteries. I told here that I would spread the word. I saw the Greer Cemetery on FindAGrave. Raymond Sowell, who is buried at Greer Cemetery was married to Vodine Greer. I saw a Vodine Sowell on your list and was wondering whether she had passed. We sort of lost touch with her after Raymond passed. Also, did you get in touch with Margarette Hunt Jones of Dallas? I've found tons of info on the African American Sowell family; however, I haven't been so successful with my own. If anyone has any information on the following surnames from Louisiana, I'd appreciate it: HIGHTOWER/COLEMAN/HEWITT/BAILEY. Thanks in advance

He served and was stationed in Australia around 1943/1944.I am trying to find a child, grandchild,or a relative of FRANK BELTRAM. If FRANK is alive today he would be in his mid to late 80's. Being an only child I welcome information and contact with family members. I hope someone can help me in my search. Please email me. Thank you. Pauline.

Comments:I graduated from SA High School in 1965 and now live in South East Texas. All issues of the SA Tribune up til last year, I believe, have been put on microfilm and are at the SA library. This has created a lot of interest. Contact the library about copies. Arlan and Stephen have a new building and the Tribune has been moved into it located at East Columbia and St. Hwy. 147. The SA Library has a nice geneology dept. Also all of the records in the SA courthouse have been put on computer and requests for copies or searches can be made. There is a charge for these services. For more information, call the County Clerk's office or the County Judge's office. Hope this will be of help.

Comments:Enjoyed the visit. My grandfather was from San Augustine Co. He had a sister named Martha. His parents died when he was about 8 or 9. He never told anyone who they were. The best we have come up iwth is he is a decendant of Henry Williams. When they died the Napolian Howard family took him in. His first marriage was to Mary Letney.

If there is anyone that can give me info about him or his sister Martha I would be so grateful.

I have heard Martha had a daughter named Onita Jones. But she has passed on and I am at a stand still.

I am interested in learning about his various descendants and discovering living ones today who would be my cousins. I live in Aurora, Wise County, Texas, just north of Fort Worth. Felix gave issue to nine children between two wives. The only descendancy information I have is through Martha Jane Dixon, his daughter who married William Albert Abney, Sr. of Angelina County and their subsequent descandants to my family. I am a Presbyterian and am interested in the fact that Felix was a member of the Bethel Presbyterian Church, the first of that denomination organized in Texas (1838).

Comments:Hello, we are researching our Huston/Houston ancestors. My gr-gr-grandfather was Col. Almanzon Huston. The Col. and his family lived in San Augustine in the 1830 - 40s. He built 'The Mansion House' on the north side of Columbia Street between Harrison and Montgomery streets in San Augustine sometime before the winter of 1836, when he sold it to Harrison E. Watson.

Our family is researching the Huston/Houston ancestors. We have been unable to locate where the Col. is buried. If you know anything on this (or other Huston family information), please contact us. Thank you so very much. Marge at: margeisrael@aol.com

My paternal line is Bullock, but have crossed with Horton & Bulloch. I made a pilgrimage to SA in 1996 with my father. We did a lot of research, and even found the property my gg-grandfather farmed. The people there were really helpful. SA will always hold a special place in my heart.
