Research at the Texas State Library & Archives: Finding the Muster Roll for Benjamin Cox and the Independent Blues
Onsite research is always an adventure. Preparing beforehand helps, but sometimes a kind archivist who knows the records and can navigate the collections is your best chance of finding the record you want. On our recent trip to Texas, I planned a visit to the Texas State Archives and Library in Austin, Texas. My research focused on my fourth-great-grandfather, Benjamin Cox, and finding sources about his service as a Texas Ranger. In this blog post, I’ll share what I found and tips for preparing for an on-site visit.

America's Best City For Renters Is A Southern Gem That Isn't Charlotte Or Atlanta
Affordability is a big concern when renting a home or apartment, but that's not the only thing that draws potential residents to a city. Job prospects, things to do, and even the general vibe of a place can make or break the decision about where to settle down.
