It was and is great. I always wondered how broad a net he cast......how many bios he wrote, and where did he write them. He captured my great grandfather Kelly in Arkansas and my ggfather(s) Williamson and Beebe in Iowa. It would be nice if this individual shared his/her treasure trove. It would also be nice if someone compiled all of Goodspeeds works on one searchable database.

Thru inter-library loan I have gotten Goodspeeds for areas such as Northwest Arkansas, etc.....on loan for I think it was 3 weeks. That alone was a normal size book, I think they are usually seperated by counties, rather than an entire state. Some are done for an area, such as Northwestern Arkansas, or you can even find the individual county ones. I am not sure they are for every state, I just know about Arkansas and Tennessee. Seems I have seen individual county Goodspeed's for Tennessee for sale thru Sistler. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Kelly" <ocollaugh@comcast.net> To: <TNSMITH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 12:26 PM Subject: Re: [TNSMITH] History of Smith county > It was and is great. > > I always wondered how broad a net he cast......how many bios he wrote, and > where did he write them. > > He captured my great grandfather Kelly in Arkansas and my ggfather(s) > Williamson and Beebe in Iowa. > > It would be nice if this individual shared his/her treasure trove.
