Welcome
These pages are part of The TXGenWeb Project and The USGenWeb® Project and are devoted solely to the genealogy and history of Floyd County, Texas. My name is Gina Heffernan and I would like to welcome you to the Floyd County site for the TXGenWeb Project. I'm very glad you stopped by and hope that you find this website useful for your genealogical research. I'm always in the need of help in getting data online so, if you're interested in volunteering, please check here. I may not be able to help with specific research questions, but should you have any questions or comments regarding the Floyd County Genealogy Project, please contact me.
