Hi all, For the last three weeks or so, I have been working on a project that I started sometime last year. The book "The Charles P. Goad Family and Collateral Branches " was published in the 1950s without copyright notice or registration with the U.S. Copyright Office. Under the copyright laws in effect in the United States at that time, a book published without registration with the Copyright Office and/or without inclusion of a proper copyright notice automatically went into the public domain. Since the book was in the public domain, I decided to create an on-line hyperlinked, 274 web page version of the 85 page book. The title page for this on-line version is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/html/cpg0000.htm . A link is also included on the Goad genealogy page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/goad.htm . Other than the hyperlinks, the main departure that I have made from the original book is that I placed spouses on the same page rather than have them widely separated. In all else, I have tried to remain true to the original publication, including preserving original punctuation and spelling, though obvious misspelling is noted as having been that way in the original. Mike

Hi all, I have a new page with links to the pages of other Goad researchers. It's actually information that was on the bottom of my old Goad Genealogy home page. I've added a few new links to it and checked all of the old ones to ensure that they are still active. The page is at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/goad_researchers.htm There is also a new link to it on the goad genealogy site at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/goad.htm It's labeled "Researchers - Goad Genealogy Sites" Another category on the website is "Documents and Information by Location - Goad information by county and state..., " Under that set of pages is a new one for Macon County, Tennessee that has a link to the bible records of a Reuben Goad http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/tn-macon.htm . Another new page, for Sumner County, Tennessee, has a link to a transcription of the Goad Cemetery in Pleasant Shade Tennessee http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/tn-sumner.htm (transcribed in 1984 by our own Phyllis Galloway of beutiful British Columbia.) (Coincidentally, these two pages are the same Goad line and have information on individuals that I was entering data for in my database not more than 30 minutes ago... and I didn't even recognize it. Looks like I'll have to go back to those individuals tomorrow and make sure that the information matches. Genealogy... ain't it fun!) I have several outstanding items from early last year that I never got around to posting. Hopefully, I will get those posted within the next couple of weeks. Mike
