However, when we first moved here we did notice their had been a GOAD in town, a lone fellow, who moved on to Texas I believe. But checking the local phone directories back then we did discover some GOADS I believe around Gothenburg or Gosper County always did wonder if they were on the Virginia line not many than are not. I believe they might have been somebodies over there, ie bank related or something. Yes I do local genealogy here in this area of McCook Red Willow County Nebraska and will be teaching a class on genealogy at our local junior college this month. However, I know of no GOADS in Nebraska really early.
