The only thing I definatly know is that My Great grandfather, Charles, grew up in Iowa and became a successful business man.

So, it's about as "English" as any name, I suppose. The highest concentration of Speights I'm aware of is in the old West riding of Yorkshire, England, where's it's actually fairly common. -Tuesday, July 29, 2003 at 16:14:15 (BST) Cathleen (most beautiful sister) cay.cooney@tektronix.com Portland, Oregon, USA Hi Pat, my colleague, Mark Speight introduced me to your site.
