I have recently published a family history book on my mother's father's family, An American Book of Kells, Ancestors and Descendants of Stephen Avery Kells with Avery and Rockefeller Families. This is about the family in England and Germany in the 1600s and to America in the late 1600s to the early 1700's, following through to about now. There are Revolutionary War soldiers (some fought under George Wasington), Civil War soldiers (one was on Sherman's March to the Sea), WW I and WW II soldiers (one was a German POW.) There's a royal conection to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. There are Rockefellers who are the ancestors of John D. and his sons and grandsons. And farmers, pioneers, a doctor, a lawyer, writers, teachers, etc. An American family. I enjoyed researching this family. I had no idea all this history was there and no one else in the living family did either. I was fun to write the book as I often had to do more research as I wrote to answer a question (why did they move to Wisconsin?how did they get there?) It is available on Amazon. I can write your family story as a book as well. If you're interested, message me or reply here.
