About the author
Beth Farrar
38 books41 followersBeth Farrar has been writing stories since her parents handed her a library card with which she always took out the allowed five books per week. From that moment on, her imagination was sparked. Encouragement from English teachers set her on a serious path of learning the craft.
From TV scripts to full length movies (none of which came to screen but were for pleasure and practice), she developed her writing skills by exploring various mediums. Filling notebooks with ideas, sketching characters and locations, and inventing sticky situations for the heroes and heroines to survive, is Beth's happy place (besides walking in cemeteries, but that's another story).
For fifteen years Beth wrote a monthly column, Living Country, in her local English language newspaper, Main Street, sharing interesting observations of living and raising her three sons in the country with her husband.
Having always loved genealogy, Beth melded two of her passions together and created the Ellie McLellan Genealogy Mystery series.
Beth's three sons now live in Montreal but she and her husband still live in their log cabin on a lake north of Montreal. They love the quiet and the bird song (sometimes way too early in the morning!). They’re not particularly fond of power outages in the deep winter months, the shoveling, or the mosquitoes in summer. But the rest = priceless!
For tips and tricks on how to write your own personal history story, head over to Beth Farrar – Author on Facebook for more information.
And being a Canadian author, please forgive the extra "l"s and wayward "u"s you may find in my work. Please don't report them, it's just the way we spell words here in the great north, eh!

The town wants to have a Historical Society and Ellie is in charge. They have a room that’s needs a good cleaning and will be a place to display historical items. Of course. A lot of genealogy takes place and town secrets arise. This s all makes an interesting story for anyone.

Oh Beth Farrar I have begrudgingly given 5 stars - and that says a lot. You have not only left me hanging, you have left me wanting more and now checking to see when #7 will be out.
As with this series, the characters are likable, realistic, and the writing makes me want to read more.
But I loved this last one, mostly because of the DNA aspect. Well not just - because I like Ellie and the other characters. I won't spoil, but just say I enjoyed this more than the last couple. Now excuse me while I go hit refresh and see when the next one publishes ;-)

I Love Beth’s Writing
Each of her books is full of information about search our own genealogy and writing our own stories. The characters are believable and have normal lives full of joy and sorrows, health and sickness, love and disappointments. I look forward to reading more about thee new friends I have made

New genealogical mysteries unrave!...
I wish my genealogy questions were as easy as Ellie makes them. She is perfect for founding the town's historical society. It's so refreshing to read about the active seniors in Percyville. The stories about the lives, past and present , that each book makes for enjoyable reading and entices us on to the next!

I loved this book. You must read it. I liked that the author went into detail about how to find your family. I am a genealogist and she taught me things that I can use to find my family. It is a good feel good book.

reccomend you read the whole series
The characters are great and its lovely how the story lines flow into each other. And by mid series here, the editing has substantially improved. A joy to read.

I like that Farrar adds depth to specific characters as the series progresses and their pasts, and how genealogy can assist them.
