In his own words: Thanks for your assistance and research into our family tree with an amazing compilation of chapters and historical data from church records and family and friends records over the years.

I’ve only briefly skimmed through the book and on chapter 3, but love the well organized chapters with detailed photos in the back. What a great miracle and treasure!
