Our subscriber David Lee DUNHAM (), author of "The Goodnight Family in America", was kind enough to tell me about four additional books titled "Goodnight Family in America" which were not included in my July 15th posting to this list. These books are also available for sale. I contacted the author, who sent the following information. The author also wrote that her books are indexed.

In his correspondence, Mr. DUNHAM also wrote that he is in the process of adding information to his book about the descendants of Henry and Catherine (GOODNIGHT) LANDERS. See my July 20th posting to this list below for additional information about Mr. DUNHAM's book.

Our subscriber Garey CEARLOCK () was kind enough to tell me about another GOODNIGHT book not mentioned in my July 15th posting to this list. I contacted the author, who was kind enough to send me the following information about his book, which is available for sale.

Garey owns a copy of this book. He says that it comes in two spiral volumes and that his copy did not include information on Garey's and my line, the descendants of Henry LANDERS and his wife Catherine, believed to be "Katy LANDERS", daughter of Hans Michael GUTKNECHT/GOODNIGHT and his first wife. Garey has since sent information about our line to the author.

I have received a number of e-mails inquiring about the various books which have been written about the GOODNIGHT family. A search of the LDS Family History Library Catalog through the following site brings up the following list of books containing information about the GOODNIGHT family: http://www.familysearch.org/ENG/Library/FHLC/frameset_fhlc.asp

For further information about these books, please consult the above-mentioned site. I own copies of the books "William Moore Goodnight of Johnson County, Missouri, 1875-1951" and "Descendants of Jacob Young of Shelby County, Kentucky, including President Harry S.
