My family was in Texas when it was born too. They settled in what later became Shelby Co, in the 1820's. They are listed in the first census in 1835. Where did your family settle?

My ancestors had a sheep ranch that was the result of a Spanish Land Grant. I'll just say it was South of San Antonio.

My family also. Some of my family still lives in Tyler County.

I live in California now. Last year, my son had a multi-cultural day at school. Each child was supposed to bring food and other things from the country their family came from.

I told my son his family came from the country of Texas. I think some people thought I was crazy, however I'm proud of the fact that my family is really native Texans.

My family did not immigrate to the US. One side fought in the American Revolution, and the other side fought for Texas' Independence.
