When I first moved out to the Bulverde area I noticed a rock house set back off of 1863 just as you enter Bulverde from the east. In a terrace wall, spelled out in rock, and easily visible from the road, was the word "CAVE". I wondered at first if it was advertising a long forgotten tourist cave but found out later that it was the name of people who lived there. The wall, or at least the letters, have since been removed.

I did a quick check on Ancestry.com and saw that there were 1,566,853 entries for the name Cave. That, of course, doesn't mean that many individuals by the name Cave, but includes every place that the name is mentioned in every document in their database; includes things like birth and death certs, wills, immigration and other public records, family trees, military records, prison and orphanage records, mentions in newspapers and other publications, et al. My own family has multiple entries for each family member. Could even include a few "real underground, geological anomalies." They rarely have records on live people because of potential legal issues. In the family trees online, live people are generally referred to as "unlisted." Censuses through 1940 can now be viewed online. The next census (1950) will not be out for 70 years. If someone is interested and does not have personal access to Ancestry.com or one of the other genealogical sites, they can go to their nearest Morman "Family History Library" and use their facilities free of charge. I've found the people who work there very accommodating. How do I know these things? I've been working on my family history for over 20 years.
