A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE COURT HOUSE!

Several years ago, I was engaged in family researching in Bosque County, TX.  My mother was born there on the McKissick Ranch.  I needed her birth certificate in order to apply for membership in the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.

I drove over the the court house and tried to do a little research, but found little information.  They were getting ready to renovate the building, and it was messy inside.  So, disappointed, I came home.

About a year later, I decided to call to ask about a birth record on her, so I did.  I connected with the County Clerk and asked her about the birth records.

She replied, "Them records is in a trailer somewhere, and we don't know where it is."
