Jeannie:
We communicated last year and determined that we are second cousins. Most of my family
lives in Texas also. My brother lives in Waco and I consider Longview my home town
although we live in Missouri now. None of my mom's generation is still alive, but all
but two of the cousins are still in Texas -- Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Waxahachie,
Georgetown, and Waco. So we are definitely part of the Texas Barcuses. Our
great-grandparents are buried in Stanford Chapel Cemetery just outside of Waco and my
brother has "maintained" the Barcus family plot with landscaping and the addtion
of a stained glass stepping stone with the Methodist flame and cross symbol on their
graves. There is an historical marker at the cemetery which mentions our
great-grandfather's name.
