I apologize to readers. Something happened with my page and all my reviews got combined under Blood and Cobblestones. I am trying to get Goodreads' help to fix it so please bear with me.

Hi Kathy,
Well we are distant cousins then, my ancestors are from Constance and Nick's son Stephen. I see that you too have researched your genealogy...the Snow family was a fascinating line to follow. I have spent over 30 years doing just that! (other lines as well...not just the Snows. I hope you enjoy the An American Family series...from The Snows of Somerset County (the oldest of our Snow roots I have documented) forward. I am working on Book Five now.
