GOOD NEWS !!!!

I am always flustered when people ask how to get to our website because the name is just too long and complex to remember most of the time....sooooo, I have registered navarrocountyhistory.com  !  That name will take you to the same page as http://www.txgenweb6.org/txnavarro/ but is much easier to remember !!!!

HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK SCANS
The High School yearbook scans are coming along nicely.  We have almost all of the Blooming Grove Yearbooks scanned now, just a few more to go.  Most of Frost is done and I hope to have the missing years scanned shortly.  You can check the progress of this project on the page: Yearbook Scans Progress.  Thanks to Diane Richards and Thressa Green for gathering these yearbooks for the project.  There are many more to come.  I am putting the Corsicana yearbooks off till after we get the small town books scanned since we have most of the Corsicana volumes extracted already.  I should have some more Kerens, Dawson, Emhouse, and Rice yearboos ready to scan after I finish up this batch of Blooming Grove. 

Dana Stubb's photo survey of the Oakwood Cemetery is also progressing well. She is sending location, photos, and detailed info for dates and family with each entry.  This is only re-survey done on Oakwood in many years.

SITE STATISTICS
As of February 2, 2010, The Navarro County TXGenWeb site contains over 40,569 files.  There are over 13,018 entries in the Obituary Database and 1,232 entries in the Biography Database.  Many Thanks to all the submitters !
