That's a hard thing until you find that personal connection. Anyway, the American Guide series would be a fascinating collection to have, I'm sure! What a wealth of information must be contained in each volume. My older brother is the genealogist in my family, and he actually found that one of our relatives from the 1600's is listed in Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

I googled American Guide Series and looked at the images for states in my area of interest. Very enlightening. Colorado is billed as "...the Highest State"; New Mexico—"...the Colorful State"; Texas—...the Lone Star State" which has stuck over the years; Arkansas didn't have a slogan. I wonder what states other readers would have chosen. My sister and I do genealogical searches—no famous or infamous relatives-yet.Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-28268468788508257272016-04-25T20:31:20.019-04:002016-04-25T20:31:20.019-04:00I love old letters from generations gone by, Donna...I love old letters from generations gone by, Donna! I recall that while we were cleaning out my grandmother's desk in preparation to move her into a smaller place, we found one my grandfather's letters written to her during WWII. Since my grandfather had passed away about 6 years prior to my birth, it gave me a chance to see his thoughts and the love he held for his wife and two children. Treasure those writings you have. They are priceless!Jennifer Uhlarikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244230079625820718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-53163201792928787792016-04-25T20:26:51.800-04:002016-04-25T20:26:51.800-04:00Thank you so much for stopping by, Connie.

My mom's step-grandmother wrote out the testimony of her salvation, and then how she met and married her husband (my great-grandfather) who was a widower with 9 children.
