The coordinator appears to have taken on this county recently.
She appears to be rebuilding this TexGenWeb page for those of us
whose families who lived there The county has a wonderful
Historical Society, but appears the Genealogical Society may no
longer be active or have been folded into the Historical
Society. While definitely related, in my opinion, genealogy and
the history are different. The coordinator is working very hard
and diligently bringing all the records and documents to one
place. I applaud her efforts to restart TexGenWeb Lee County
Genealogy web site. |

Tamara Stevens adopted
this county in September last year and has completely
transformed it. It is organized and very readable.
Over all it is a very nice looking website. |

In my genealogical work I found relatives who moved to Freestone
after the Civil War. This genweb
site answered several of my big questions. The coordinator has
done a superb job!! The info lay-out is very helpful. |

I
am amazed at the amount of information there is on the internet
for people searching for their Texas roots. I have been
researching my great grandparents, Lucinda Connelly and Henry
Arch, for years but have hit many brick walls in trying to
discover their progenitors and a semblance of their life. I
found some documents to both verify and contradict anecdotal
history my mother conveyed to me based on her childhood
memories. It saddens me that, like most people I talk to, I did
not converse more extensively with my mother and grandparents
about our family history. I am writing a book on my family but
have been unable and unwilling to complete it without knowing
more about my beginnings and how I got to be. I considered
hiring an Ancestry.com genealogist, but could not afford them.
So, I kept combing websites and discovered Hays County TXGenWeb
Project. Some of the information on the website has helped me
clarify and eliminate certain possibilities. Their link, the
“History of Hays County,” provided me with clues as to how my
great grandparents ended up in Texas. I clicked on their
“Family Queries” link and discovered genealogical help was
available. I emailed the Hays County TXGenWeb site for help and
was soon contacted by Lisa Smith-Curtean, a Certified
Genealogical Researcher for Hays County who had researched and
attached several vital documents for my great grandparents, some
of which I had already and some of which I did not have. I was
thrilled. I was hoping to
be provided with some basic direction or information, but she is
giving me so much more. I am so appreciative of her. Since
receiving the initial email from Ms. Smith-Curtean, we have been
exchanging information and she has volunteered to thoroughly
research additional information when she soon visits Hays
County. I finally feel that I will get to know Lucinda Connelly
and Henry Arch and their forefathers a little bit more. My
heart is singing with HOPE! |

this TX webgen site is the best I have ever found while looking
for the history of my fore bearers. I
found grave sites of 3 or 4 of my relatives because of this
site. |
