The Land of My Fathers - Cleburne, Texas

When my great-great grandparents moved from family and Texas to California in the early 1900's, little did they know that three generations later their descendants would move back to the Lone Star State. However, by the time our family moved to Texas (80 years later), all connection with our Texas relatives was lost. Today we sought to repair the breach. Our first step in the process: Cleburne, Texas.

This is one of the 13 remaining Carnegie Libraries in Texas. Now a museum that highlights the history of North Texas and the arts of home life, our group began researching genealogies, a complex endeavor.
