Texas Genealogy Resources

Texas Genealogy Resources
With 254 counties, Texas is a big state with a vast amount of resources for the genealogy and family history researcher. General resources that pertain to the whole state of Texas are listed first below, and then selected counties in alphabetical order are listed next. Not able to visit the Texas-Based repositories in person to research or for a document look-up? Contact me. I can do it for you. Also, this is not an exhaustive list. Please contact me for more information. Click here if you are looking for more general genealogy research resources.
