East Texas Family Records is published by East Texas Genealogical Society
four times a year. ETGS represents six counties which are Anderson, Gregg,
Henderson, Panola, Rusk and Smith. ETGS also publishes a monthly
newsletter - The Bulletin which is edited by Beverly Bailey Odom. ETGS
regular meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the Tyler
Public Library - Taylor Auditorium starting at 2:00 p.m. After the regular
meeting and refreshments the Computer Interest Group meets to discuss topics
relating to computers and genealogy. Our dues are $20/year which entitle you
to all four quarterlies for that year and all bulletins from the time you
join. Back issue quarterlies if available are sold for $5.00/each with
postage paid.

SUBMISSIONS: East Texas Family Records welcomes previously unpublished
source material from its readers. The prime requisites for all materials are
that they should be as useful in 50 years as they are today. We will strive
to publish a variety of material on each of the six counties represented by
ETGS. Although exceptions may be made, material relating to our six counties
prior to 1900 are of the most interest. Articles concerning other areas will
be used occasionally if of sufficient interest to many people. Material from
old and/or rare unindexed books will also be considered.

Priority will be given to courthouse, Bible and cemetery records, but we are
very interested in publishing the following types of source material:
Biographical Family Sketches, Lodge Records, Old Diary Accounts, Census
Records, Marriage Records, Old Letters, Commissioners Court Minutes,
Military Muster Rolls, Post Offices, Confederate Records, Mortality
Schedules, Probate Abstracts, Deed and Land Records, Newspaper Clippings,
School Lists, Jury Lists, Obituaries of East Texas Citizens, Tax Lists,
Library Microfilm Holdings, and Voter Lists.

When submitting Bible records, please give name of person possessing Bible,
give date of publication, if known, make sure all information is legible and
accurate if copied by hand. When submitting cemetery records, please give
exact location of cemetery, date copied and name of copier.

PUBLICATION: To be considered for publication, an item or article should
have a reliable reference and should not be based entirely on "tradition."
We do not wish to publish items from books now in print, however, such
references may be used as footnotes to clarify sources. Please be certain
all material is legible. Xerox copies can be used, but typewritten articles
are preferred to avoid errors in transcribing handwritten material.

Please include your name, address, e-mail address and day-time telephone
number with all material submitted. The editor must retain the right to
accept or reject materials and to edit those chosen for publications. Credit
will be given to each contributor. If requested, material may be returned,
otherwise it will become property of the Society.

QUERIES: Queries submitted by members will be published as space is
available. Please type or print each query on a separate sheet of paper.
Capitalize all surnames and include at lease one date and place. Limit your
query to 8 or 10 typed lines and carefully recheck for accuracy.

SUBMISSION DEADLINES:

Spring issue - January 15

Summer issue - March 15

Fall issue - June 15

ETGS welcomes any suggestions for improving our publications. We also
welcome constructive criticism. Let us know what you would like to see
published. Please send all material to: June Everheart, Editor (e-mail:
).

ETGS does not assume responsibility for errors of fact or opinions expressed
by contributors. However, we strive to publish reliable source material, and
errors will be corrected when submitted in writing.

ETGS POLICY ON THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICALS

The East Texas Genealogical Society strives to publish a maximum of
genealogical information at minimum costs, in order that the Society's
publications may be widely available to all who are interested. Consistent
with this objective, certain restraints are necessary in regard to
replacement of periodicals, which were not received by the intended
recipients. Hence, if a member, institution or other organization fails to
receive a copy of THE EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS, the quarterly, ETGS must be
notified within six months of the publication date of that issue. Otherwise,
the intended recipient will be supplied a replacement copy only if copies
are still available and only at the published price. The ETGS Newsletter,
"The Bulletin," primarily carries news of short-term interest and back
issues will not normally be supplied. If there is a special need for back
issues, the recipient will be quoted a price for which they may be ordered.

PUBLICATION DATES ARE: MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, and DECEMBER 31 of
each year.
