Heavy flooding in Houston

Charles

Less than a week after I wrote on floods in Southeast Texas in 1913, the region is getting pounded by huge rains. A Flood Watch is in effect for the Houston area, more rain is forecast, and the Red Cross Click here to learn about third-party website links is opening shelters. Louisiana is getting hit by rains as well.

Streets are flooding, too. The Houston Chronicle Click here to learn about third-party website links reports a traffic nightmare, a thing bad enough unto itself. But with that, there is the added danger of being trapped in cars as the waters rise. See our posts on the dangers of driving through floods here and here.

I know this is not the correct forum for my question, but here goes anyway.
My great grandfather was supposedly a Wells Fargo Agent. He was born c. 1855 and died c. 1930. Does Wells Fargo have records of all the people who have worked for them? If so, how could I obtain info on my g. grandfather?
Thanks for reading this.

Thanks, Nell for your comment. You're correct in that this isn't the place for your question, but I do want to ensure others know that they can email us with general questions/comments outside the context of a blog post. Just use the form on this page:
