Allerts in Texas

You are correct, we are related. I have been hoping to get someone on your branch of the Texas Allerts from England to respond to my message. As you can see, Kate Allert of Hong Kong responded and it turns out that her ancestor and Samuel Allert were brothers. I have not been able to get in touch with her in quite a while, so I have lost that link before I really found out much information.
Please send me a reply at texantwo@gateway.net so I can get your e-mail address and write you lengthy messages of what I have found out and the names of all our cousins that I have that have furnished information on this family research.
We recently went to Cuero and went to see the house on Indianola Street that has the Historical marker that your Grandfather grew up in. I would like to have a lot more information about that side of the family. It appears someone is about to start renovations on the house. Do you know what the story is behind the fact that Robert used different type brick on the sides of the house than he used on the front? That was a curiosity to me. For all I know that may be the way they did it back then.
I am sure my Great-Grandmother, Mary Ellen (Mollie) Allert Kullin Harris visited her brother's family in that house. She and Mag went to Galveston in about 1905 to visit their sister, Elizabeth (Aunt Bettie) Allert Hancock Pollard. Maybe you have seen a picture of the three sisters taken in Galveston? I would like to get in touch with the descendants of her daughter's family, the Robert F. and Ada Sauer family. I have a lot of questions to ask about the time of the Great Storm in Galveston, Sept. 8 9, 1900. I want to know Aunt Bettie's experiences going thru the storm. I have a letter her 22 year old son, Charlie Hancock, wrote to my 16 year old grandfather in Cheapside after the storm, telling of his experiences. Aunt Bettie's house is still there on M 1/2 Street in Galveston. The story the present owner told me is that it floated to the back of the lot, but they moved this big two-story house back to its place. The whole city was raised 10-11 feet a couple of years after the storm, as they were building the wall that is now between Galveston and the beach.
Grandmother Mollie lived in Cheapside from about 1892 until her death in 1932. It appears (but I am not sure of dates or facts) that after her husband, Andrew Kullin's, death in October, 1884, she probably lived with her parents, Samuel and Mary Allert, in Fayette County, near Flatonia. Then, at some point after 1888 when Aunt Mag married Arthur Carter; Samuel, Mary, Mollie, and baby Richard Faires Kullin moved to Cheapside to be near Aunt Mag and Uncle William Allert (the blacksmith there) and his family. Do you know the chain of events with this move? Maybe Uncle William and family were there first or maybe his family moved at the same time as Samuel, etc. I have not yet been able to get land sales records in Fayette and Gonzales Counties, regarding that move. Maybe you have that info?
Write me and I'll tell you what I know so far of the sister Annie (born about 1850) and her family. The reason she stayed behind when the rest of the family left for Texas in 1873 is because she was married. She and her husband were thinking about moving to Texas the following year, but they never did. I am trying to track down her descendants so I could find out more of that families story. I understand she had six daughters and one son and was married twice. Grandmother Mollie received letters from England up until her death, then other family members exchanged letters for many years. Do you have any letters or pictures from England during that timeframe of 1873 until 1935, or so?
I have made this entirely too long so please send me your address or phone number so I can tell you more. Thanks for responding, Gaye Kullin Tutt
