3rd Annual Genealogy Workshop, 12-13 Apr 2019
Welcome
Welcome to the TXGenWeb Project site for Galveston County, Texas. The purpose of this site is to provide resource information and assistance in genealogical research in Galveston County. This site is supported by the Galveston County Genealogical Society, League City Genealogical Society and Texas City Ancestry Searchers.My name is Gina Heffernan and I'm your Coordinator for Galveston County, TXGenWeb.
Galveston Island and the city that grew there and shared its name were once two of the most important places in the state and are rich in history and culture.
The Portal to Texas History contains a wealth of documents from Galveston County, including copies of newspapers! Don't forget to visit this awesome site.
We would like to thank Jim Turner, for establishing this project in 1997 and Betty Dunquez for carefully expanding and developing it through 2018. They worked diligently to supply the information included on these pages. A special thanks to Floyd "Lanny" Martin for all the transcription and photographic work.
