Pioneer Families of Tarrant County
Pioneer Families of Tarrant County is a project of the Fort Worth Genealogical Society to identify and honor researchers who have deep roots in Tarrant County, Texas. To qualify for membership, one must provide proof of direct lineage from a person who can be documented as being a resident of Tarrant County during or prior to 1870.
Some possible sources for information on Pioneer Families can be found at the Tarrant County GenWeb Site. after entering this site Click on "Pioneers Found Here 1848-1870" . [ Note: Merely finding your ancestor's name in this index is not sufficient proof of residency; you will be required to provide photocopies of the original source records. ]
Some of these records may not provide enough evidence to prove residency. For example, a person who was issued a land grant may have never come to Texas, or a person paying taxes here may actually lived in another county.
It is not required that the pioneer's name appear in this list as there are numerous other local records that will be perfectly acceptable as proof of residency.
