Research in early Texas has its own unique issues. The Spanish and Mexican legal systems are quite different from the British common law system found in early America; social/family customs of these early settlers differed as well. Successful genealogical research during this time period will depend on the researcher’s awareness of these differences and knowledge of both systems. Learn how to apply methodology to Texas records while looking at the distinctive aspects of researching Texas records and applying techniques necessary to maximize your results.
