Comments And Suggestions
BIBLE RECORDS The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) have copied many Bible records from Texas. Some of these have been microfilmed and are available at the Family History Library. A large set is on FHL films 227500-16. Some are listed separately in the catalog under the specific county or city they are from. Still others are part of the collection described in the “Genealogy” section of this outline.
They are partially indexed by E. Kay Kirkham, An Index to Some of the Bibles and Family Records of the United States, Vol. 2 (Logan, Utah: Everton Publishers, 1984; FHL book Ref 973 D22kk v.2; fiche 6089184).
Most of the major archives mentioned in the “Archives and Libraries” section of this outline have collections of biographical materials.
An ongoing project to index more than 200 biographical and historical publications in the Texas Collection at Baylor University has produced the Biographical Gazetteer of Texas (Austin, Tex.: W.M. Morrison Books, 1985- vols. 1-6, alphabetical; FHL book 976.4 D3bgt).
The Family History Library acquires many published sources of biographical information. State, regional, and county histories often include helpful biographical sections.
