A HUGE thanks to all the people who answered my question about the Goodspeed books!!! Since I received several persons asking for any responses I might receive about the books. I decided to compile the responses and publish them to all the lists that I am on. This information might help someone else. >> I called this toll free number and in 2 days I had a Goodspeed catalog.

I didn't go through all of them, so I don't know what is listed. This site is great for genealogy and other used books, over 20 book dealers nation-wide are on this site. >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/biography/bios-ark1.htm >> The Goodspeed Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Southern AR contain the counties: Clark, Miller, Sevier, Howard, Pike, Lafayette, Hempstead, Columbia, Little River, Nevada, Cleveland, Ouchita, Dallas, Bradley, Calhoun, Union, Ashley, Drew, Lincoln, Desha, & Chicot. >> Independence County, Arkansas: http://home.HiWAAY.net/~dmglenn/independ.htm >> Craighead County, Arkansas Genealogy: http://www.couchgenweb.com/craighead/ >> a rep for Southern Historical Press and ALL the Goodspeed's for AR have been on the out of print list for several years now. (They are available from Borders.com, FatBrain.com, Amazon.com) --note from yvonne >> Clay Co. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/clay/index.html >> According to a friend of mine, Arkansas Research, owned by Desmond Allen, is in the process of reprinting the Goodspeed's for Arkansas in a special format. I don't know the schedule for release. I know Ms. Allen gets this, so maybe she can give us some information on the new project. >> I've seen the Western Arkansas one on Ancestry.com and I've run into them at Rootsweb, GenWeb and various county sites. Try searching at say, www.altavista.com for Goodspeed and biographies and the county and see what comes up. >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/library.html >> ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ar/carroll/goodspeed/ >> the Independence county homepage they have information on most if not all of the Goodspeed books. I know they have the one for Northeastern Ark as well as for Eastern Ark and think the others are probably for the rest of the state of Arkansas. >> http://www.rootsweb.com/~arfrankl/goodspeed/bio.htm >> ____________________________ Colorado Springs, Colorado reply to [email protected] web page: http://www.rmi.net/~henson Names I am researching: BRENT(S), GRANT, EDMON(D)SON, HENSON, MCARTHUR ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
