Interesting and Helpful Websites

Just thought I would post a couple of websites that I've found helpful in the past.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txgenweb/society.htm
This page has a handy list of addresses to Texas Genealogical and Historical Societies. If you find yourself needing information from a particular county, and can't travel therre in person, you might try writing or emailing them for help.

http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/influenza-epidemic/
As I have said many times in the past, you need to know your history. This site tells about the horrible influenza empidemic of 1918, which very well may have affected your ancestors lives. Well work a look!

http://www.rootstelevision.com/program_guide.php
Roots Television™ is by and for avid genealogists and family history lovers of all stripes. Whether you’re an archives hound, a scrapbooker, a cousin collector, a roots-travel enthusiast, a Civil War re-enactor, a DNA fan, a reunion instigator, a sepia-toned photos zealot, an Internet-junkie, a history buff, an old country traditions follower, a cemetery devotee, a story-teller, a multicultural food aficionado, a flea market and antiques fanatic, a family documentarian, a nostalgia nut, or a mystery-solver, Roots Television™ has something for you -- and that “something” is quality programming. Check it out!

Hope you enjoy these sites and let me know what you think of them!
