Researching Republic of Texas Ancestors just got a little easier!

If your ancestor interacted with the governments of the Republic of Texas or the State of Texas, new research tools from TSLAC may help you learn more.

Today we are announcing our updated website at www.tsl.texas.gov/arc/republicclaims, including background information, a custom search, detailed instructions, and search tips. We have also published a revised finding aid for the Republic claims portion of these Texas Comptroller's Office claims records, which are digitized and part of the Texas Digital Archive.

The records include requests for payment, reimbursement, or restitution submitted by citizens to the Republic of Texas government from 1835 through 1846; records relating to Republic pensions; and claims submitted as public debt against the Republic after 1846. The files include supporting documents such as vouchers, financial accounts, military records, receipts, notes, or letters. During both microfilming and digitization, State Archives staff made every effort to obtain the best possible image. We digitized high-quality microfilmed copies of the documents to create the PDF format images available in the Texas Digital Archive.
