A Sister's Heart
Martha Anderson grew up in a family where fights, hurt feelings, and discontent were commonplace. Like many young girls, when her world outside was in turmoil, the only thing she wanted was to be able to run to the safety of her own home. Unfortunately, that was not always a safe place to be. Her longing to have a loving and supporting relationship with her sister was often replaced by walls for hurt and anxiety. A Sister's Heart is Martha's true story of her journey through pain, deep-seeded hurts, and eventually forgiveness and love. She understands firsthand the devastating, long-lasting effects that anger, jealously, and resentment in a family can have, particularly on the young women who so desperately need a role model for maternal love. This inspirational story shows how she turned her turmoil and pain into determination, love, and true forgiveness.
Tennessee Records
An encyclopedia of Tennessee genealogy, Acklen's "Bible Records and Marriage Bonds" is one of the foremost Tennessee source-books in print. It consists almost entirely of records of births, marriages, and deaths, plus marriage licenses of Dickson, Knox, Lebanon, and Wilson counties. Sections devoted exclusively to marriages generally run chronologically, giving exact dates and full names of brides and grooms. The bible records, however, offer the most substantial evidence of family connections and, in the manner of such records, are actually organic family records listing names and dates of birth, marriage, and death through several generations, depending, of course, on the extent to which a particular bible was handed on in the family and kept up to date. The work is complemented by a surname index of nearly 15,000 entries.
Our Norwegian Ancestors of the Fox River Settlement
Norway received its name from the nearby rural community of settlers from Norway in the area known as the Fox River Settlement. The village was the center of Norwegian immigration dating to 1834. The settlers had in large part relocated from the Kendall Settlement in New York State which had been founded earlier by pioneers who arrived from Norway during 1825 aboard the Restauration. Norwegian-American pioneer leader Cleng Peerson founded this second settlement in the Fox River Valley of Illinois.
Do It for the Children
None of us can change the family we are born into. But sometimes we wish we could. Where Martha Anderson grew up, gangs often ran through the neighborhoods with weapons, and news of after-school fights were commonplace. When her world outside was in turmoil, the only thing she wanted was to be able to run to the safety of her own home. Unfortunately, that was not always the safest place to be. As the years passed, she realized that each day was going to be a struggle to survive, and domestic violence created fear that gripped the core of her being. Do It For the Children is Martha's true story. She knows firsthand the devastating, long-lasting effects that domestic violence, alcoholism, and drug abuse have, especially on the lives of the children forced to grow up in that environment. This inspirational story shows how she turned her turmoil into determination and made it her mission to inspire and uplift those in similar situations. The journey of healing starts here.
Respectable Burial
Respectable Burial also highlights how important a role Montreal played in Canada's history. The cemetery is the final resting place of politician Alexander Galt, poet F.R. Scott, hockey star Howie Morenz, explorer David Thompson, bank presidents, renegades, hangmen, and victims of the Titanic. This history of a model rural cemetery, an innovator in perpetual care and proprietor of the first crematorium in Canada, illustrates changing attitudes to burial and commemoration - including the relationships between Protestantism, Romanticism, and death. Young also shows how the cemetery, a site of great natural beauty that helped inspire Frederick Law Olmsted's adjacent Mount Royal Park, became a much-loved public urban space and examines how the evolution of its landscaping, architecture, and use reflect changing attitudes to the place of women, recreation, heritage, and the environment. Incorporating a rich collection of archival illustrations, walking maps, and a colour photo essay by photographer Geoffrey James, Respectable Burial will appeal to anyone interested in Canadian history, parks, and cities.
Cullman County, Alabama Confederate Soldiers
At the time of the Civil War, Cullman County did not exist. It was carved mostly from the East side of Winston and the West side of Blount in 1877. This book attempts to identify all of the Confederate soldiers originating from the area which became Cullman County, as well as those who migrated to the county after the War. The book also contains rare first person accounts of the war as told by Cullman County residents George Martin Holcombe and Elijah Wilson Harper and printed in the Cullman Alabama Tribune. This book is important to the genealogy and history of Cullman County and contains much previously unpublished information on the old soldiers. It contains service records, pension applications, births, deaths, marriages, and obituaries.
