This is an enjoyable county
website. It shows a lot of research and
hard work.; Our Henderson Co, Cemeteries are the
Best!; This Henderson Co. TX genweb site is the
most professional genealogy site that I have
found on the web. The women in charge of this
website are up to the minute with submissions,
and acknowledgements. Their interest makes those
who submit to the website look for more material
to send in. The content of the website is
displayed in such a manner to help both the
beginnning genealogist as well as the more
experienced researcher. This site upholds the
highest ideals that other genweb sites could use
a pattern to construct their county sites. I
would like to nominate this Henderson County Tx
website for your highest honors. Betty

grandparents were from Henderson County.; |

This is the best site I have
seen on the USGenWeb Project Site. I have
searched many counties in the GA, MS, TN, AL, CA,
VA GenWeb pages and cannot find as much
information in all combined as I have found on
the Kaufman County site. I like what they
do so much that I volunteered and transcribed
transcribed part of the 1900 County census for
them. I have also contributed to the site
and will continue to do so as I acquire new
family information. My father was born in
Kaufman County in 1910 and will be 95 this month,
this site has given him a great deal of pleasure
and information about his background. It is
the best!!!!!!; Has the most information; I think
this is one of the best sites that I have
seen. I use it often to research some of my
own lines. The information is updated often, new
information is added all the time, and the
Coordinator is very pleasant. You can tell
she puts a lot of love into this site. I
would like to see it and Abby win COM!; i was born in
kaufman, now live in s. arizona, most all my
immediate family still live in kaufman co. i have
found many pictures and much info that i have
shared with them from this site, i come here
often. my grand mother was county treasurer
for many yrs in the late 60;s early 70's. i am
