Bobbie, Count me in for the book. Donna Boyd Researching Allen, Hammack, Lovejoy, Boyd, Andrews

Here goes: At your search engine, type in familysearch.com , when the engine brings up a list of choices, click on "Familysearch Internet Genealogy Service". This will take you to the main page of the LDS site. On the left side of the page, click on " Browse Categories". Next , click on " Libraries". Then, Family History Library Catalog". Then, click on "Place Search". Then type, "coryell" in the top box and "texas" in the optional box. Two choices will come up, click on the first one, "Texas, Coryell". Then, click on "Texas, Coryell Biography". That brings up the title. Click on the title itself. This brings up the details on the book. At the upper right hand of the page click on " View Film Notes". That gives you the page with the film # on it. Instructions on ordering it through your local Family History center are on the left. Frances T Ingmire has done an index on this book. I wonder if it could be found through inter-library loan?? Hope this helps. Rose

I am getting a lot of response to the index question. Let me check with Bobbie on it and get back to you all. Rose

Bobbie, Most Book stores will special order old out of print books. I have done this many times in the past with Waldons Book store. There are a few that I have had trouble with but very few.

Hi Kirby, Haven't posted anything in a while. The book sounds very interesting. I'm trying to figure out if I would have time to type the index. My dad and I are going to come up next year; probably in late June. I still have the directions "posters" were kind enough to supply, so we should be able to find the Coffey Cemetery where the Williams and Painters are buried. I've heard of the cemetery all of my life, but have never been there. Taking the camera for sure!!! Everyone take care and have a good Labor Day weekend! Linda Reasor

I will be glad to get the list ready for putting on the web site -- if you will forward a copy to Wayne Jones P. O. Box 860788 Wahiawa, HI 96786-0788 I will either scan it or recopy it as soon as possible and forward a text or html file to whomever is designated.

I understand you concern and do apprceiate it. As I said time is a problem for me. The book can be ordered through any local LDS Family History Center on microfilm. I have doubts that we will find a hard copy of it. Rose

I promise you would be absolutely swamped with requests. I would rather have where someone could order the book, it doesn't look like this project is going to fly, cannot get the copyright holder interested.

Hi, Bobbie, Please add my name to the list of others interested. Researching Bell Co. & Coryell Co. surnames: Burns, Bruton, Lynch, Hamilton, Tippit, Ketchum, etc..... also others were in McLennan Co. Thanks, Cindy

Bobbie, A friend of mine ordered a book on micrcfilm through the local Family history Center here in Granbury. It am almost positive it is the same book. Published by the same company, publihed date is the same, counties are the same. I copied the index from it. How can we use this?? I am not 100 % sure it is the same book. But, it does appear to be.

I'd like a copy too. I've seen this book in the Clayton Library, here in Houston and it appears useful. John

This is not Goodspeed, but should be in most genealogical libraries. the title is "McLennan, Falls, Bell and Coryell Counties, Texas" there is no author, people were invited to submit bios and those were compiled. It was published in 1893. Most are rather exaggerated or glorified versions of people who, at that time, were considered movers and shakers.
