• A History of the D & O H Ranch of McCulloch and Concho Counties (masters thesis) gives the story of the early open range ranch which covered McCulloch and Concho Counties from the Brady Mountains to the Colorado River during the 1880's and 90's.
• A file area has been set aside for Family Histories and Local Histories. It is the top drawer in the cabinet just to the left of the computer in the Genealogy Department, and can be easily expanded to two drawers or more, depending on usage. Get your family information together and place it in this vertical file so that other researchers can find it. This is a great way to share what we have found.
• Old Marriage Licenses - A box of very old marriage licenses that had been stored at the courthouse from 1876 to 1939 has been relocated to the library .  Many have been picked up by family members during the past years but there are still many left.  I've checked on the names for people who have submitted queries,  but if any of you would like to check on a license, please let us know. These old unclaimed licenses are now stored at Richards Memorial Library.  You can see a list of available licenses. A self addressed envelope should be sent to them if you would like a license mailed to you.
