This is my first visit to this site.
My favorite part of this site is: I liked the queries and
gedcom. The searchable database is nice and the cemetery lists where good
too.
I would like to see added to this site: I would like online
census records to be added for easier research (see Smith county's GenWeb
page), and more work should be done on the Oakland Cemetery page (maybe
provide a list of names in the cemetery). This site needs more online
access to vital records(birth, marriage, and death), this will better
assist those who are researching informaion about Kaufman County.
I would love to contribute a GedCom file, but currently I only have about
650 names in it. I would also, be willing to look-up information from the
Terrell Library for anyone who needs it. I have found the Marriage
records and Terrell Tribune Obituary listing's to be very helpful. I
would also be willing to look through Oakland and Highland Memorial
Cemeteries for particular names.
My Kaufman County success story: My family has lived in
Kaufman county from about 1870 and we have owned and operated many
restraunts in Terrell. In 1919 my great-grandparents opened the first of
our restraunts, called "Olympia" which later became
"Chris' Cafe". In 1957, my grandparents opened "Chris'
Steak House" on Moore Ave and after my grandfather suffered a heart
attack in 1974, my grandmother, Mary Helen Cacas, continued running the
Steak House until about four years ago, in 1996.
My great Aunt, Pauline and her husband, Woodrow Reagan opened the first
Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise in Terrell. And through the years my
family ran other eating establishments including: "Catfish
Alley" (run by Pauline and brother Jimmy)and "Chris'
Smokehouse", a barbecue place, run by my grandfather Tom Cacas.
As you can see, my family has been rooted in Kaufman County for many
years now and I am proud to call it my home.

lived in Kaufman county since about 1870, yet none are listed anywhere on
your site. (See success story above)

My favorite part of this site is: Help from Linda Kay
Harwell.
I would like to see added to this site: Kaufman Co cemeteries
listing with pictures of individual headstones. As soon as I am able, I
would like to volunteer to take photographs of the gravesites in the
Crandall cemetery. I am presently tied up with tending to health problems
of my elderly parents.
My Kaufman County success story: My name is Jerry Bateman and
I live in Forney, TX. My mother (Bonnie Juanille Denton Bateman Pilgrim)
lost her mother when she was sixteen months of age. Her mother was Jewel
Julia Denton Boone. My grandfather (William Edward Denton) was killed in
Whitton, Van Zandt Co, TX when Mother was a very young teenage girl.
Mother was passed around from relative to relative and eventually lived
with her Grandmother (Rosabelle Fortner Boone Dill) through her
highschool years in Corsicana, Navarro Co, TX. Mother later married and
moved to the Dallas area. Through the years, her grandmother Rosabelle
died along with other relatives. For some unknown reason, mother was not
contacted concerning her grandmother's death. She had no idea where
Rosabelle was buried or where aunts and uncles were buried. I recently
subscribed to several genealogy sites and received several responses. One
of them was a cousin who had been tending the gravesite and of my
ggrandmother Rosabelle and other relatives. Much to my surprise, I
learned that they were all buried in the Crandall Cemetery which is just
a few miles from my home in Forney. I took several pictures and showed
them to my mother in Canton, TX and she broke out in tears of happiness
with the discovery. I cannot begin to thank the genealogy world enough
for their help. Especially Linda Harwell (a long time friend and once
close neighbor). Genealogy has opened up a new world for me. I am now
researching both sides of my family which includes Bateman, Denton,
Fortner, Boone and Dill.
I would like to make the following comments: The Kaufman
County site has been very helpful in my research. Especially when I
opened the cemetery listing and there were my relatives. Please keep up
the good work you are doing.

This is my first visit to this site.
My favorite part of this site is: The cemetery preservation.
You have done
an excellent job on the cemetery
preservation. It is the best that I
have seen on any of the other county
genealogy sites. Also, the pictures
of the cemetery sites are very helpful.
They also tell a story - sometimes very
disturbing in cases where the cemetery
is in very, very, very poor condition.
Also, your site is very organized and
easy to move around. I will definitely
come back again. I have relatives that
are buried in Kaufman County and also
have some relatives that live in Kaufman
County.
I would like to see added to this site: 1. Just a little
more information about the cemetery.
Directions to the cemetery. Some of these
are in fairly remote areas and unless one knows the
area and back roads, they would have a very
difficult time finding the cemetery. I have been
to several cemeteries in the Kaufman County area,
but I am at a lost to find them again. I do not
live in the area, therefore, I would not be able
to assist with this recommendation.
2. More vital statistics information.
I would like to make the following comments: It appears that
a lot of the cemeteries are in
poor condition, especially those where non-whites
are buried. Isn't there something that can be
done to ensure that ALL cemeteries are at least
kept to a minimum standard of keeping them
cleared of overgrowth and also from keeping land
owners from destroying the burial sites? This is
very disrepectful of the deceased. I know that
in a lot of instances,the descendents are no
longer alive, etc., but still, it seems as if
some organization or group or governmental entity
should try to preserve the history.

story comes with a kind person named Susan Moody who photographed my gr-
gr- Uncle's grave and sent it to me. His name is Hiram Lilly Murray and
he was the first or one of the first graves in this cemetery. He died
young while living with his Aunt and Uncle William (Billy) McCarroll and
Lilly Murray McCarroll. The families had all traveled together from North
Carolina staying for a while in Haw Creek, Morgan County, MO. Hiram's
mother, Father and siblings decided to stay there and didn't move on to
Texas with these family members.He died one year after he moved to Texas.

According to her parent's bible, Rosie was born 8 Sept 1868 in Scott Co.,
MS. I see Lone Elm Cemetery is not fairing any better than Blackland. I
am still willing to work on the restoration of both Cemeteries.
