I so value family history that I combined my family's stories and life experiences in my debut historical novel THE CALLING OF ELLA MCFARLAND.

I remember as a kid growing up during the Vietnam War being so afraid for the US soldiers, even though I lived in Canada, but we saw it all on the news each night. And what his son saw in Afghanistan. What a beautiful book that was published about your home town. <br /><br />Your family might enjoy Twilight of the British Raj as it has history about Afghanistan and Pakistan when Britain ruled India. So many of the problems from that era are what we are still seeing today. <br /><br />I love books about war---not that I like war---but to see how God brought people through those tough times is so inspiring. I guess that's why I write a lot about soldiers in my own novels.

His son served in Afghanistan and is a Chaplain in the Army. Other of my relatives served in WWII. <br /><br />My parents and grandparents, on both sides, lived their adult lives in the small town in which I now reside. A book was published last year by a local resident - on the history of our town. My family provided much of the info and pictures, having lived and owned property here - for generations. We also have a tape recording of an interview of my mother's parents - years ago, some time before they passed away.<br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of your "Twilight of the British Raj" series!!<br /><br />Shared post on Facebook. bontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852536941656729576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-29804495712749836932016-02-10T14:51:06.345-05:002016-02-10T14:51:06.345-05:00Thank you Caryl.

My ancestors were just farmers, although my dad flew a plane in the US Army-Air Force in WWII. My nephew asked Dad to tell his story about the war, and we have it now on video. So that is a real keepsake for us.<br /><br />derobin7 (at) gmail.comDonna Reimel Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303286410284389719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-31172271561563924532016-02-10T12:26:04.949-05:002016-02-10T12:26:04.949-05:00Interesting information.Interesting information.kim hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951846304316134717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-55512617448770766352016-02-10T11:27:49.672-05:002016-02-10T11:27:49.672-05:00I fear that once I'm gone, the history ends th...I fear that once I'm gone, the history ends there.
