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.
