*'''''Texas First Families, Volumes 1 and 2'''''<i>- </i>TSGS offers several Heritage Certificates, including Texas First Families. To qualify, applicants must prove direct or collateral descent from an ancestor who settled in Texas before February 19, 1846, the day of the ceremony on which the Republic of Texas turned the government over to the State of Texas. A collateral ancestor would be a brother, sister, uncle, or aunt or your Texas ancestor who was in Texas by this date. The relationship must be explained onthe LIne of Descent Chart. Frequently, this information is compiled into a series of Texas First Families books. Volumes 1 and 2 are currently available from TSGS. Volume 3 will be published in 2013. | |||
