Emilly Stowell has written a book of the Westfalls. Here is her description written to me. I have ordered the book but haven't seen it yet. carole thomas "American Nomads." The price is $24.95 with $4.00 shipping added. Check should be made to Iris Press and sent to 2655 Shalimar Cove, Del Mar, CA 92014. Should you be interested in purchasing more than one, (Christmas gift for another Westfall, perhaps), the price is $20 each for two or more. It is a hard back book of 500 pages, profusely illustrated and historically accurate but written as historical fiction. It begins with the Kuykendall clan, but so many Kuykendalls married so many Westfalls that it certainly covers the early generations of your clan. I am told that I succeeded in my purpose of bringing our ancestors to life. One reviewer has said, "Reading Emily Stowell's book is to experience time travel." My own five greats grandmother was Sarah Westfall, one of the book's most delightful characters. I follow these characters from their passages to America in the 17th century to the beginnings of the 20th as they moved from wilderness to wilderness across this great land. There are numerous genealogies in the back of the book, carried down from the first colonists to the point at which they married into my line. Your patriarch, Jurien Westfall, plays a prominent role as do many of his offspring. Jurien's name occurs more often in the Dutch colonial archives than most any, from his arrival on the De Houttuyn in 1642 to his killing by Indians in 1667 or 1668. My story follows his descendants down to The Minisink on the Delaware and on to West Virginia. Payment may be made by check to Iris Press. I will be glad to autograph your book. Hope you will enjoy it and learn much about the lives of your forebears. Yours, Emily
