The digital collection is a browse collection. It is organized by volume, application number and years. Later volumes were not assigned volume numbers. If you have the application number, you should be able to find it in one of the ranges listed in the browse lists. Another option is to look in the folders for the year that your family member might have joined the Association.

Any woman having attained her 16th birthday is eligible for membership and must be a lineal descendant of a man or women who rendered loyal service for Texas prior to the consummation of the Annexation Agreement of the Republic of Texas with the with the United States of American on February 19, 1846.

These records consist of 1,525 booklets containing membership applications, ancestor’s service descriptions, lineages and supplementary affidavits and documentation.<br>
