Hi, I'm one of the lurkers. Thought I would get my surnames in also. I am looking for information on the siblings and parents of John or J.W.Goode. He lived in IT from the 1870's until he died in 1901. He was married to Melvina Carnes and their children were: James Killingsworth Goode m: Bessie Ola Ellis Virginia (Jenny) Goode m: Osborne Jones David (Dave) Goode m:Vera Cartwright Minnie Goode m:Boyd(?) Tingle Willie F. Goode m: Oma Bonds (My line) There are other surnames mentioned too, Calvin and Isabelle Jackson, with daughters , Lucy and Patsy . Tot Turner, Walter Boyd and Brother. Also a brother to Calvin ,named Davis Jackson.I wrote and got several items from NAIL as Melvina was Choctaw but, was disappointed that it contained no information showing her siblings and does not even state which parent her Indian Blood comes from. Looking forward to hearing from someone out there that has that little tidbit of information that will get my research to moving again. Billie PS. Even though I am a lurker, I love your newsletter and read it diligently.
