Footprints
Quarterly
Journal of FWGS
Getting it's start
in May 1957 as a one page monthly
newsletter named Bulletin, the
journal Footprints is now
published quarterly by the Fort Worth
Genealogical Society. It contains
items such as: Bible records; church
records; lodge records; cemetery and
funeral home records; military
records; newspaper clippings and
obituaries; old letters, maps and
diaries; school, tax and voter lists;
queries; and other materials
pertaining to genealogical or
historical research in Texas.
Membership benefits include receiving
all four issues published annually,
even if you join mid-year.
The Society
solicits unpublished Texas related
material for inclusion in Footprints.
Priority
is given first to Tarrant County and
then to materials from the
surrounding counties.
Primary source material is
preferred, but secondary sources are
also accepted.
Queries are always
welcome. We print them free of charge,
but they must be Texas-related. You
must furnish your full name, full
mailing address and your e-mail
address (optional). Better queries
will include full names, dates and
places when known. Questions should be
concise and to the point. Incomplete
or incoherent queries will be
rejected. We reserve the right to edit
prior to publication.

Queries On-Line

When submitting
Bible records, if possible, please
send a scanned image or Xerox copy of
the Bible pages, including the title
page or copyright page. Also send a
transcribed text file or typed copy of
the record and a brief sketch of the
family in order to clarify names and
relationships.
The editor reserves
the right to edit material prior to
publication. Submitted material will
be returned if requested and if a
S.A.S.E. is included. Sending material
is not a guarantee that it will be
published. We reserve the right to
choose the material used in
publication and to reject materials we
determine to be inappropriate, unfit
for printing, or of little interest to
the public.
