Below are links to some very interesting photo collections provided to this web site
by former veterans and their families. Well worth your time and effort to explore!
For a web site that is dedicated to the crew members of the Battleship Texas go to:
http://www.bb35.homestead.com/
If you have a question on the Ship's Crew Roster send it to:
Ship's Historian
Mr. Raymond Bloxom, Raymond.Bloxom@tpwd.state.tx.us (281) 479-2431 ext. 238
or
Mr. Ephriam Dickson http://www.bb35.homestead.com/
The records aboard the ship only cover WWII. Records prior to WWII are at the National Archive.
One last item: If you are trying to obtain information about a family member who was stationed on the USS Texas BB35,
one source is to obtain their Military Records. We came across one web site that has some information on how to do this.
