CD: An Index to the 1867 Voters' Registration of Texas - Donaly E. Brice and John C. Barron. This CD-ROM is a unique and important historical document useful for both the genealogist and the historian. This record of voter registration is the first statewide listing showing the names of newly freed slaves in Texas. The original voters' registers are arranged by county and provide the following information: voter's name, date of registration, voting precinct, number of years of residence in the precinct, county and state, and the state or country of birth. Additional information regarding when, where, and how a person was naturalized is provided for foreign-born individuals. In more than a few counties, however, some or all of this information was omitted. Within each county the names are entered in chronological order of registration. This index was created to provide easy access to this vital genealogical information.
