Fascinating Family Stories!

"The Stars in Your Family" book is here!

This collection of 77 stories of stand-out family members has turned out even better than expected! In it's 210 pages, it truly showcases the wide variety of people, cultures, and experiences treasured by storytellers and genealogists. Through these stories you'll meet Medal of Honor recipients, groundbreakers in areas as diverse as law enforcement and aerospace, and a woman who amassed a real estate fortune from nothing using only her talents and wits. You'll meet loved and admired women who devoted their lives to their families - including one who had a special bedtime ritual for her chickens. You'll meet hardworking men who did anything they could to keep their families going, (even if it meant a little bootlegging, in one case). You'll also find a surprising link in more than one of our stories to Louis Armstrong.

Each of these tales represents an intriguing family story and a devotion to someone in the author's family tree who was loved and treasured. You'll learn the wisdom that was shared in a dying man's letter and one mother's secret for making perfect jello. There are also some tragedies to mourn and questions that can never be answered in these tributes to parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many-times great ancestors. The Stars in Your Family was created as a companion to Jamboree 2021 as we celebrate the many Stars whose genes we carry. The book is available through Amazon for $15.99. All royalties go to support the Southern California Genealogical Society.
