Bobbie, I can't believe the number of people who have not been to a good Genealogy Library. Every Library in every major city has a Genealogy Section. One or more of Goodspeed Histories are in most libraries. Not only do these Biographical sketches pertain to people from Milam, Bell and Coryell but there are Goodspeed Histories dealing with other areas of Texas. And....the same were printed for other States. Arkansas is a good one. Arkansas is divided by Geographical area and then by counties. Tennessee and other states. Not all states have these histories but some do. These books are a great resource for genealogical research. Especially in states where printed records are scarce.

Bobbie, is that the same as the Goodspeed Biographical Sketches? I thought these were printed by the Lewis Printing Co.?

Bobbie, Re: Republishing of book, l know my family would love to have one or more! Is there anything we can do to encourage this - or to assist you in encouraging them? And -- thanks for all your good work. Patti Richardson

Bobbie.....RE: Book......YES! John C

I would be very interested in the book.

I would be interested - Researching Griffin, Rush, Whitt, Parrisher in Coryell and San Saba Counties

I appreciate the good response on the book. I have no idea what families are discussed. I have no idea of a time period, or even if the owner of the copyright will reprint. Bobbie Ross, county co-ordinator for Coryell County, Texas http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcoryel/

Put me own the list. Researching Barron, McKinney, Shirley, Baker, Sexton.

Hi Bobbie, I would also be interested in the book. Purchasing would be my ultimate goal as I now live in Canada and it is not readily available to me.

Put me down. I'm interested. Also while I'm here could someone tell me when the "range war" occurred in Coryell Co. during the 1800's? (what year to what year, etc) and a short explanation of what it was all about. I have went through the Coryell County Book and can not find much there.

Dear List Members, There is an effort underway to encourage the republishing of a book that was put out by Lewis Publishing Co. in 1893 in which people could put in bios of themselves. it was "McLennan, Falls, Bell and Coryell Counties, Texas". A few of these can be found in libraries scattered around the central Texas area. I have been asked to check out the interest among people who are interested in Coryell County, so let me know if this would be of interest to you. Bobbie Ross, county co-ordinator for Coryell County, Texas http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcoryel/

I have relatives from at least 2 of those counties. Yes, I would be interested in the book! Kim Thomas thomasent@aol.com

Bobbie, I didn't list the surnames I'm researching. They are Meharg, Williams, and Painter. By chance do you know if there are any references to these families? Thanks, Linda Sue Reasor
