Following the death of her father in 1997, the distant voices of the generations from whom he had descended began calling to the author of this family history. The third in a series, this volume focuses on the genealogical heritage of the author's father, whose ancestral family arrived in the early years of this country. Like the previous two volumes of Distant Voices, this family history represents several years of travel and research by the author, her quest to tell her father's story.
