This will not find queries on the Colorado County Message Board. There is a separate search engine at that site.
Some of the resources on the "Online Data" page have their own search engines that will also need to be checked separately.
However, this will seach all of the cemetery records, obituaries, news items, biographies, etc.

Colorado County Citizen Obituary

Colorado County has suffered the loss of two prominent local historians in recent months. We will attempt to get the Colorado County TXGenWeb Project moving forward soon, but hope you will understand that our resources and ability to answer research questions are currently limited. Meanwhile, we invite you to spend some time perusing Dorothy's work on this award-winning genealogy and local history web site and encourage you to visit the Texas Room of the Nesbitt Memorial Library in Columbus. For additional information, please see note from the curent county coordinator below.

Note from the New County Coordinator

Rox Ann Johnson will be serving as the new coordinator of the Colorado County TXGenWeb Project. She is the daughter of past coordinator, Dorothy Albrecht, and has access to Dorothy's correspondence. Due to pressing responsibilities she is currently unable to handle requests for look-ups of any kind. Please see the Look-Up Volunteers page for others who may be able to help you. Do feel free to contact Rox Ann regarding information or photographs you would like to contribute to this web site.

If you can offer any assistance with lookups or data, please let me know.
