True Miracles with Genealogy: Volume Two [Versión Kindle]

After reading Anne Bradshaw's first book, I contacted her to tell her how much I had enjoyed it and that I had experienced many miracles in doing genealogical research.
I contributed three stories and received my copy yesterday and began reading this wonderful book. It is full of many amazing miraculous experiences, fascinating old photos, and stories that will inspire you as well as develop your interest in researching your own family. Doing this broadens your sense of who you are and enlarges the family of which you are a part. You also gain a strong family sense and feel close to those who have passed on. Sue Maxwell

I sat down with great expectations to read this Vol. 2 of "True Miracles with Genealogy". I devoured Volume 1 in one sitting and knew I was in for a treat as I explored this new volume. But I had no idea the impact one of the stories would have on me. I only got to the 4th story before being overcome with such a sense of belonging, connection, and feelings of deep emotion for the characters in the story. I read it a second time to better understand the sequence of events in the story, then I read it to my husband. I was brought to tears as I realized the TRUE MIRACLE it expressed. I found myself thinking about it as I went to bed and again as I arose the next morning. Upon researching the family described, I discovered that the characters in the story were distant cousins of mine. I then understood that feeling of being drawn to this story and of feeling connected as I initially read it. I can say the same thing of all the stories...they are intriguing and explore the miraculous influences that our ancestors have upon our lives, our research, and our emotions. Every story is powerful, easy to follow, and provides good insight into the blessings that we can claim as we learn about those in our families who have gone before us. Even as I read of the experiences of fellow genealogists in this book, my heart is drawn to my ancestors and I'm filled with love, joy, and gratitude. I can't wait for Anne to compile a third version of "True Miracles...."

Even though all the stories were by members of the LDS church and I am not part of this church - I thoroughly enjoyed the book. While nothing I have experienced has been as dramatic as this in my years of genealogical research i have more than once been nudged in the right direction by ancestors who wanted to be found.
