Footprints
Quarterly
Journal of FWGS
Getting
it's start in May 1957 as a one page monthly
newsletter named Bulletin, the journal
Footprints is now published quarterly
by the Fort Worth Genealogical Society. It
contains items such as: Bible records; church
records; lodge records; cemetery and funeral
home records; military records; newspaper
clippings and obituaries; old letters, maps
and diaries; school, tax and voter lists;
queries; and other materials pertaining to
genealogical or historical research in Texas.
Membership benefits include receiving all four
issues published annually, even if you join
mid-year.
The
Society solicits unpublished Texas related
material for inclusion in Footprints. Priority
is given first to Tarrant County and then to
materials from the surrounding counties.
Primary source material is preferred,
but secondary sources are also accepted.
Queries
are always welcome. We print them free of
charge, but they must be Texas-related. You
must furnish your full name, full mailing
address and your e-mail address (optional).
Better queries will include full names, dates
and places when known. Questions should be
concise and to the point. Incomplete or
incoherent queries will be rejected. We
reserve the right to edit prior to
publication.
