Question 3
Question 3: I am looking for 1853 records for Burnet County. Are there any available? Answer 3: There are 1853 images in the 1854 waypoint. They appear to be a combination of the two years. There are 1853 dates on images 4 and 6. There are no dates on image 3, 5, 9, and 10, but image 5 looks like a continuation of image 4 which has an 1853 date.
