This might be a really great post, a really sad post, or a really mean post depending on who knows what about this site. I can’t believe I found this. It is from more of my Internet rummaging.
This link, listing births, deaths, divorces and marriages, contains just about everything that happened since the 60s or 70s. It’s interesting to look through especially if you have family that is from the area or have lived here for quite a while. I even found some of my friends’ marriages a few years ago!
EDIT: I actually realized that there’s waaaaay more to this picture. Harris county is only one county out of EVERY county in the country listed on this website of statistics. If you have the google toolbar on your Internet Explorer (ha, assuming everyone who reads this uses IE…sorry Andrea), click on the Up button (yellow folder with a green arrow pointing up) and you’ll reach this page listing all of the states so that you’re able to go to any county in any state to see any data that’s available if you know where to find it.
So much public information online that it’s scary, but enough to intrigue me so that I post it on here.
My brother is on there

You’re on there too somewhere. Everyone who is our age and a few years older and younger is listed somewhere. I found myself as well.
me? no. I wasn’t born there…
..and I looked up the state & county I was born in and there are none such records. A couple baptismal records under births/ but nothing like the Harris County thing.
& i’m using internet exploder right now because the music site I’m listening to isn’t supported under Firebird. :) (am on the PC today)
Interesting.. Must be a Texas thing?
yeah, them durn texans always tryin’ ta find out the latest dirt on their next door neighbor… hehehe
I just think that Ohio is slightly less organized.
