I
am a retired photographer and custom
framer in central Texas, owning and
operating a studio since 1974, but now do
only copy and restoration photography,
mostly with old photographs.
Below are links for the
websites maintained by Ralph Terry. The
pages on my websites primarily deal with my
family genealogy and Coleman County, Texas local
history. I also maintain websites for
Coleman High School Alumni and another for the
CHS Alumni Association and its reunions. I
also maintain a website for St. Mark's Episcopal
Church in Coleman.
I give talks from time to time
on photography, Coleman County history and
genealogy. I have a few books for sale ...
see the link below.
Recently (2026) the Coleman
Public Library opened the Ralph Terry Collection of
Photography and Coleman County History, an archive of material I have
accumulated over my lifetime about Coleman
County. It also includes the negative
files of the Coleman, Texas studios of Frank
Dunlap (1947-1949), Hugh Capps (1949-1974) and
Ralph Terry (1974-to date), and the back issues
of available Coleman County newspapers.
My first love, however, is still
genealogy, in which I have been involved since the
early 1960s. My genealogy files are
connected with my late wife, Judia's,
family. Judia passed away in 2021, but I
continue to update her family from on occasion.
