The TXGenWeb Project

The city of Childress is the county seat.


Greetings - I'm Vicki Shaffer, your volunteer County Coordinator and responsible for upkeep and additions to these pages. This site  is associated with The TXGenWeb Project and The USGenWeb Project and is dedicated to the posting of "free access" genealogical information on the Internet.
   
In June 1996, as the KyGenWeb Project was nearing 100% county coverage, interested volunteers decided to create a similar set of pages for all states, establishing The USGenWeb Project. Volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the efforts for each state, and additional volunteers were sought to create and maintain websites for every county in the United States.
    Anyone who desires to contribute to the information contained on these pages or has reference material and willing to do lookups please contact Vicki Shaffer. The TXGenWeb State Coordinator is Shirley Cullen.

 

     PLEASE consider making a contribution to our site!
Thanks! 
Vicki Shaffer
