Answer 1

I all ready have the US History badge, but I would be interested in helping with the Texas Project. Please let me know what you are working on.

Comments

Thanks Dean! Welcome to the Texas subproject!! I’ll let Mary Richardson, project coordinator know you are on board!!

Answer 2

Both my parents were from Texas and I have ancestors that were there pre-statehood.  I'm stretched pretty thin with my other project groups so other than doing what I can on my own profiles, I can't take on much else.

Answer 3

I have deep roots in Texas and would like to do what I can to help.

Hi A.    

I see you already have your US_history badge.. Great

Welcome to the Texas subproject!!   That was easy?  I will add you to the Texas Project list!!  I am including the link to the Texas page..  We have 254 counties, and you will see a list of space pages already complete, which may stimulate your interest for another page!

thanks for your offer, Mary

Answer 4

I was born and raised in Texas, so most of my relatives (and ancestors) are from Texas. But I'm not real big on history, so I'm not sure how I can help (especially while I'm still working on my own tree/close relatives).

Comments

Dennis, just adding your own ancestors helps. You may have the time, information and opportunity to answer a question on g2g because of your knowledge of Texas. You may come across a source that you want to add to our project page or share a profile you are excited about.  

If you just add your own Texas ancestors and make sure they have sources and biographies, that’s all that’s needed. If you need help with that, please feel free to contact us.

---

thanks for adding me... I'll try to help out where and when I can.

---

I apologize- I thought I had already added you. I am late on adding several badges and I apologize to all of you who have waited!

This is a fun project!  If you are naturally interested in Texas you will add things. Just keep the project in mind and connect to it so we can enjoy your work!!

---

I should point out that this project is Mary Richardson’s baby! She is an amazing project coordinator from Texas. I am leader which means I can add the US History badge, but Mary is the expert behind this project!! Thanks, Mary!!

Answer 7

I am a native Texan with three of my grandparent's lines dating back to at least the 1800s (the fourth moved here between 1910 and 1920). Between aunts, uncles, and cousins, the number of my Texas relatives is probably in the thousands. I am interested in Texas history and what part my family played in it.

Answer 8

Welcome to all new members of the Texas Project!

Answer 9

I have alot of family that came from Texas, mainly farmers and their families. Cartwrights, Bandys, Thompsons, Meadows, just to name a few.  I would be greatly interested in expanding my knowledge of them and the areas they came from.  Mainly from Bandera County is where they settled.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Please add me, will love to help! Native Texan, most roots in East/Southeast Texas.

Let me know where you need me.  Looking forward to this like crazy.  Texas is by far the most amazing of places to be from :)

Answer 15

If this is still in progress I would like to join. My father's side of the family has been in Texas for generations as well as my husband's family.  Thank you!

Answer 16

Yes, I am very interested in Texas.  One question, why doesn't Texas have its' own Badge, we did after all have six (6) Flags over Texas and we are still way different than any other state.  :)

Ooops, I read in one of the older posts that Texas was a sub-project...Texas is sooo big, I think we should have a Texas Project and break the State down into sub-projects....

All teasing aside, I would love to work on Texas!

Here is Texas:
