November Dedicated CC Award

Vickye White is the recipient of this months Dedicated CC Award.  Vickye has been the CC for Cottle County since 1998. Cottle County is a small county, with only 24 people listed in the 1880 census, and in 1940 there were only about 700 farms listed.  In spite of the small area and population, Vickye has been able to put together records and photographs for the Cottle County researchers.  The TXGenWeb thanks her for her years of dedication to this small county.

October County of the Month

It is my pleasure to announce Bexar County as the October COM. Jimmy Epperson is the Bexar County CC and he has done a great job with the website but accrding to him, he still has a lot of information to add. A couple of interesting files on the Bexar County website are the 1900 State Hospital Patients and Employees. Of course, here is a file on the people at the Alamo and another that lists those who died there.

The Honorable Mention countes are Guadalupe, Lavaca, McLennan, Montgomery, and Yoakum. All are great sites and deserve a ten-gallon salute.


Congratulations to Jimmy Epperson and the CC's of the Honorale Mention counties!
