Dedication and Special Credit Conflicting information
Carolyn Heinemeyer Bading
plans to include much of the information found on this webpage and more in a carefully researched book dating back to 1780 that she is writing about the history of Geronimo, Texas.  She has been very generous to share information and documentation which she has spent numerous long hours collecting from a large variety of sources.

In her search, she has uncovered many interesting facts and surprises, which she shared, but are not included in the information found on this webpage.  Carolyn has asked that certain information not be revealed here as she would like to save it to be unveiled in her book for all to enjoy who are interested in this small community's history. 

As her research is incomplete, Carolyn has carefully indicated that certain information she has shared is verbal or per the "community grapevine" and "All of the old timers will tell you ..." type sources.  That is, the knowledge and history of the local culture that has been kept alive by word of mouth.  All of the information of this nature has been corroborated by several community members. 

Conflicting information occasionally generated by other sources, which sometimes even receives publication, should be carefully evaluated for accuracy. 
When asked, "What validates your information as correct should it conflict with any that might be related by another community member?"  Carolyn replied that she relies on information recorded in documents, mostly secured from the Guadalupe County courthouse, the Bexar Archives in the San Antonio Library, the University of Texas Law Library, School Records stored in the old Guadalupe County Jail museum in Seguin, TX, and the National Archives of the United States.  One such piece of information she secured is a 1934 microfilm that contains the Geronimo Post Office history.

Thus, she continues her research.  A projected publication date or publisher for her book is currently indefinite.
