27 Aug 2008     From 1935's Warwhoop are several "Chiefs" featured each week in the
                            school newspaper.   These have been scanned and sent to the Haskell
                            page by Robert Coburn.   There are 14 he has sent and 6 of them are
                            already uploaded.   Click on the "Haskell Schools Photo Page" in the
                            left column of the Haskell TXGenWeb Pg, then click on the "Warwhoop Chiefs"
                            link.     Watch for more to come.

                            the photos pages, send them to

16 Aug 2008     A photo of 1950's era downtown Haskell was provided by Ed Williams
                            and is now displayed on the Haskell TXGenWeb home page.   Thanks, Ed.   

                            Also new on Haskell TXGenWeb's home page is a link to photos taken
                            in the far Southeast part of the county (near the Jones County line). 
                            Dorothy & Hess Hartsfield sent these interesting pictures.   Look under
                           "Haskell County Photo Pages" in a column on the left.   The southeast picture
                            page is tagged "NEW".    Also, all photos for the Rockdale Cemetery are now
                            online.   Thanks to Dorothy & Hess for these gravestone pictures.  
Rockdale Cem.

24 Jul 2008         Don Haynes has agreed to do look-ups in the Stamford Cemetery
                              burial records.  The two Stamford Cemeteries are located in Haskell and
                              Jones Counties.   Don is on the Stamford City Cemetery Board and
                              has a lot of knowledge about  these cemetery records.   
                              See 
Haskell Co Look-ups

 5 Jul 2008          New on the Cemeteries page is a survey of Rockdale Cemetery by
                              Dorothy and Hess Hartsfield.    This cemetery is located in the far
                              southeast section of the county.   Thanks to Dorothy and Hess for
                              this addition to the Haskell Co TXGenWeb page
                             
Rockdale Cemetery

                            The Rochester Cemetery now has all photographs linked to the cemetery
                             listings.   There is some burial information which came from family members so
                             no picture is there.    Those are indicated with a note beside the name.
                            
Rochester Cemetery           The Pico Search Engine has been updated.

                            If you have additional data on burials in Haskell County Cemeteries or other
                            family genealogy information you are welcome to send it for the Haskell page.
                            Contact 
Webmaster          

16 May 2008      Links have been updated for the TXGenWeb Tombstone Project, the
                              TXGenWeb Archives and the Haskell pages for those two projects
                               which are all part of USGenWeb.

                              Also updated are the links for the USGenWeb Family Group Sheet
                              Project and USGenWeb Tombstone Project Home Page.

                             The Archives and Tombstone Project pages are still in the process of
                              moving so some links have not been updated to reflect the new
                              addresses of many Texas and other states' county pages.
                              See these updated links on the Haskell Genealogy Home Page

  7 May 2008      The Historic LaBriere House - first house built in Haskell, has
                               photos and a biographical sketch of the family on the Haskell TXGenWeb
                               page.    Thanks to David Ballard and Dorothy Hartsfield for the
                               information they provided and to Jim Webb for the photos.

   28 Mar 2008    There's a link to the Haskell Chamber of Commerce webpage
                              on the Haskell TXGenWeb page.   It's under "More Haskell County
                              Information".   Try it and see what a nice page the Chamber has put up.
 

  22 Mar 2008   Haskell TXGenWeb's new internet address is
                            
http://haskellco.vibobgen.com/haskell.htm
 with all the same genealogy
                             data, cemeteries, census, look-ups and more, for Haskell County
                             researchers.   Be sure to "bookmark" the page.   Recent changes
                             in Rootsweb management has meant most USGenWeb counties are
                             moving to other internet domains.
  
(Note:  These management changes
                             do not affect the Rootsweb MailLists - featured in the March Research Site)                        

                             Also, more gravestone photos have been added to Rochester Cemetery's
                             listings.

   1 Mar 2008     Another method of internet genealogy research involves subscribing to
                             one of Rootsweb's many MailLists.   It's free.  And you can "Un"subscribe
                             at any time.   See more about this in the March Featured Research Site box on
                             the Haskell County TXGenWeb home page.

    9 Feb 2008     The Featured Research Site for February has information about
                              acquiring vital records in Texas or from county clerks.    There are
                              new rules for some items and a check of the Texas Department of
                              Health website gives updated information.   See "Featured Research Site"
                              on the home page of 
Haskell County TXGenWeb Site

    11 Jan 2008     New on the Haskell County TXGenWeb page is a transcription of the
                               Willow Cemetery.    This transcription contains over 5,000 names but it
                               is not the full cemetery listing.   We expect to have that data in a few months.

                               Don't forget to check out the Featured Research Site for January to see
                               information about using the Social Security Death Index and the SS-5 Form
                               to help with your genealogy research.   See this on the Haskell Co Home Pg.
