The Bob & Carol Steakley Family Research Center

The Steakley Family Research Center is the premier resource for people wanting to research their family history in early Texas. Our database of proven Texas
ancestors is unrivaled anywhere, and we hope to grow it even more by helping others who want to join the Daughters, Sons, and Children of the Texas Republic.

We’re here to help

The Family Research Center provides access to Mexican character certificates, military records from the Texas Revolution and the Republic of Texas, land grants issued by Mexico and the Republic of Texas, census records, marriage certificates, pedigree lineage, and more. The Center also includes a collection of family histories donated to the Daughters throughout the years.

Appointments are available on a limited basis and must be scheduled. To get started on your journey, contact us today!

 We are excited to launch the Steakley Family Research Center, and look forward to helping people discover their early-Texas ancestral records.
