Goodspeed's 1888 History of Southeast, Missouri MO Genealogy

Goodspeed's 1888 Genealogy and History of Southeast Missouri

Over 1000 pages of history and genealogy including 1705 biographies in 15 Southeast Missouri Counties

An informative and historical overview of the Southeast region of Missouri on CD of the full 1888 Goodspeed Brothers "History of Southeast Missouri" including 1705 family biographies. Unlike most of the other Goodspeed history titles published, this volume consists mostly of detailed biographies of early settlers which are quite valuable for genealogy research.  This book also includes a considerable history of the region and times (including the Civil War) from its earliest settlement to 1888. An important resource for the study and research of  history and genealogy in these 15 Missouri Counties.

This fascinating and detailed book is on CD in Adobe Acrobat pdf format and contains ALL of the following family biographies from 15 Southeast Missouri Counties (in addition, thousands of additional individuals and surnames are mentioned within these biographies - well over 15,000 individuals are made mention of.)  Many of these individuals were residents at various times in several different counties so they may be found in a different county than what might be expected.  To see a map showing the location of all 15 counties, click here.
