Lookups

Everyone on this list is a volunteer. Please be courteous to them as they give up of their own free time to help out those in genealogical need.

Do you have a resource that has information about Karnes County?  Do you live in Karnes County and would you be willing to look up information for other genealogists who live far away? If so, then why not volunteer? E-mail me and let me know how you could help.  Thanks!

I do not live in Karnes County. Please use the below resources for your lookup needs as I cannot help with lookups. Thanks!

My name is Jay Odom. I am able to do Texas Death Certificate lookups and copies. It costs $7 per certificate, but alot cheaper than trying to get them from the State Health Dept. and I can get them out within a week or so.
