We are trying to locate several "lost" branches of the Goodhind family. These relatives have drifted away from contact with the rest of us. We have high hopes that this website will provide an internet "beacon" that will guide descendants of the family back towards us. We would like to provide information and "catch up" with these branches of our family.
In that vein, I would like to spotlight several and families and their last known locations. If you are a member of one of these families and would be willing to contact us, PLEASE DO SO! You can get hold of Tim Goodhind at this link or by choosing the Contact Us link on the sidebar.
