What a great teaser write up Fern, you hooked me.....Love your site, your writing style, wit and humor. How many years did you put into the making of your book? It's awesome, I'd love to have one like it on the Ford family. Looking at the cover I sat here wishing the Bu wasn't there. Keep up the good work !!

It takes a good mix to make a strong family tree... One of my cousins killed an appeals court Judge on the "Ladies" entrance steps to a Frankfort, KY. hotel. One of his brothers killed a sheriff who managed to kill him before he died. Maybe I should have left out the gory details when I wrote my book but I wrote it all down and it is there for generations upon generations to read about. I got a kick out of reading the newspaper articles about it and figured others would too. On the brighter side I have a cousin who fired the first shot at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg story is here: http://www.bufordfamilies.com/Gettysburg.htm The rest is in my book.. Take care everyone and stay cool. Our summer here in Colorado has been VERY pleasant without one single 100 degrees day.
