About the Project

The Speed Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Speed name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Speed name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Speed's), by time period (18th Century Speed's), or by topic (Speed DNA, Speed Occupations, Speed Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

My GGM's maiden name was Emma Keats Speed. < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Speed_Sampson > She is from the Louisville Speeds. The earliest documented direct Speed ancestor I have of hers was John Speed M.D. (1628-1711). His son James Speed (1679-1719) was reportedly the direct ancestor of all American Speeds as of 1892 when "Records and Memorials of the Speed Family" was published by Thomas Speed.
