| If you own any
Blanco County books or references, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups,
please contact me via email
with the reference source, location of the source ie; library, court house,
personal collection, etc., and how you may be contacted. Volunteers are needed!
Feel free to request a look-up from the following books. Please limit your request to one name per request. Also, most of the volunteers are busy and often get MANY lookup requests. Please put Blanco County Lookup in the subject line of your request to ensure the message is not overlooked or accidently deleted, in the first line of the message, please put the name of the book from which you are requesting the lookup. You have no idea how many messages I myself recieve that have none of this information. I don't know what they are requesting...a lookup, or maybe a query post to my page, or maybe this was sent to me by accident. Again, PLEASE provide as much SPECIFIC information possible for the request you make. If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time. |

We now have an excellent opportunity for Blanco County Lookups! Pat
Althaus of the Blanco County Historical Commission has offered to perform
courthouse lookups. Pat will perform lookups for "specific" queries. Please
do not ask her to look up all Johnson's from 1860 to 1880 or such...this
is not the service she is offering to perform. However, if you have a specific
request such as deed records for Samuel Johnson circa 1860/70's or probate
for Samuel Johnson circa 1882/6, she is in a position to perform these services
for you. Please don't forget to thank her...she is a busy lady but a valuable
resource for Blanco County history and genealogy.
Thank you Pat for your offer!
Pat may be contacted via email: althaus@moment.net
