Researchers:
Swann Reid
is willing to do local research for counties surrounding Gonzales County, Texas.
E-mail to her for particulars.
Beth Parsley
does research in a 100-mile radius of the City of Gonzales. This would include the original area
of the DeWitt Colony - all or parts of the following counties: Caldwell, Comal, DeWitt, Fayette, Guadalupe,
Gonzales, Hays, Jackson, Victoria and Wilson.
She also does research in Calhoun, Karnes, Lavaca, and Bexar Counties and will go to Austin if need be.
Scope of search: available newspapers, census records, probate, tax, birth, death, marriage, land, court and
cemetery records. If a cemetery is within the above-mentioned radius, she will try to locate the headstone and take a
picture for the client should it be desired.
Since sometimes the most intense search is unfruitful, a report is rendered with a statement listing all
sources/places searched and the outcome.
Microfilmed records are not always very clear due to the age of the documents but she will always get
the best available copy for the client. Contact Beth for price quote and further information.
