While at the library today I came across a STEELE Genealogy book, (not my line), still in copyright so excerpted here for your review. I was very impressed with the way the author, Jennie Kooons Steele, documeted the Steele family she was writing about, with genealogies for Koons, Beck, Steele and Young. While writing the story of these letters she included prints of the envelope, certificates, invoices, many pictures. Very well done. "I REMEMBER ...
