Dear fellow genealogist, I am currently working on a manuscript with my sister for Spring Creek Books and collecting inspiring family history stories to include in the book. We're currently naming the book "Whispers From Beyond". It's designed to be an inspiring book that includes a collection of true stories by people who have searched their family roots and discovered much more than names and dates. Their experiences testify that searching for our ancestors' records is much more than a passing hobby, and that there is something very spiritual about it that compels us to continue our quest. Some experiences could be called miraculous or coincidental, but the researcher feels a special unseen hand guiding his efforts. I wondered if you might have a story or two that you would like to share in this book format. Of course, I can't guarantee that your story would be included in the final manuscript due to the Editor's discretion, but I would definitely include your name in the book if it does. You may have already written down some of your special experiences in your journal and find this an opportunity to finally the take the time to record those memories for your posterity. If you would rather tell me your stories I would be happy to write them for you. Please submit any stories to me by March 30, 2005. Thank you for considering this project. If you have any questions at all or would like to discuss your stories with me please feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected] Please feel free to share this letter with others who may be interested. Thanks again! Respectfully, Tracey Long RN, MS, BSN, CDE (Genealogy aficiando!) P.O. Box 80282 Las Vegas, NV 89180-0282
