We will be glad to help.

This list was created for the purpose of locating, and preserving our

Texas-Cemeteries.

List's Guidelines

(1.) RootsWeb and Ancestry.Com are our host, without them there would not be a list. Before anything else their guidelines will be what governs this list. Should you have
any questions about those guide lines you may view them at

http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html

A brief summary of the "Acceptable Use Policy" guidelines are: "Have fun", "Respect others", "Respect copyright" and "Stay on topic".

    (a.) Copyright.

            Any message composed by a person who submits it to this list is copyrighted by that person. DO NOT forward any message to this list or from this list before asking that person's permission to do so. Should you have any questions concerning copyright laws you may find answers at:

            U.S. Copyright Office
            Library of Congress
            101 Independence Ave. S.E.
            Washington, D.C. 20559-6000

              copyinfo@loc.gov
              http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/

(2.) Majority rules.

Here everyone will need some definitions. We have people on this list ranging in age from their early 20s to their early 90s. The majority of the people, however, are between the ages of 55 and 75. When anyone ask these folks for special help, please know that they will do their best, and in return they need your thanks and gratitude for their efforts. Those efforts are given freely by those who are sometimes hampered by age. These quite folks will be my PRIMARY concern when working with ANY issue.

(3.) Special Interest

        (a) Genealogy

Genealogy research is acceptable unless or until it begins to detract from the major purpose of this list.

        (b.) Other types of Research

Our list has the unique distinction of being studied by students of Archaeology, Historical Art, as well as many more interesting fields of research. These studies are acceptable unless or until they make too stringent demands on the general population of the list.

(4.) The Texas Historic Commission has a program headed by Gerron Hite titled Historic Texas Cemetery Designation   You may learn of this project by visiting his web site at: http://www.thc.state.tx.us/cemetery/Gerron.html He needs our help in locating cemeteries. He can't help us preserve them unless he knows where they are.

Suggestion:

        (a) Notify others about the project. Solicit their help. Encourage all ideas that might assist in the project. Encourage new groups to take an interest. Encourage solicitation from these new groups and bring their questions to this list for discussion. We would like to help.

        (b.) Work with our TX statutes governing cemeteries to help enforce what laws we have, change what is in conflict, and help implement new laws that will protect our cemeteries.

The statutes governing our TX-Cemeteries may be found at:

http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/statutes.html
These statutes are under the section of Health and Safety Code of Texas:

Or: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/hstoc.html Scroll down to Title 8

(5.) This is really the only steadfast rule on this list. Harmony is the objective of this list.   Please respect others' right to voice their own opinion. Quick "ridiculing" responses will result in an immediate unsub.

Special Request:

Experience has taught me that many list members who post to a mail list such as this receive ridiculing messages in private later. Should you receive this type of "poison pen" letter please forward that message to me. The person harassing a lists members will be banned from the list.
