About The Spirit in the South:
"Are there questions you would like to ask your grandmothers, great grandmothers or tenth great grandmothers?
In this work, the authors of the "grandmother stories"(Dr. Forde and cousins) imaginatively ask their grandmothers questions about the source of their indomitable spirit; and as you read, you will appreciate the choice.
The centerpiece of the four hundred page book consists of interpretative essays featuring our grandmothers in times of trial and times of joy. The essays are accompanied by descriptive chronologies, with the reader appropriately instructed by maps from each period, photographs, sketches, portraits and recipes. An encyclopedic Appendix in CD-ROM form offers further documentation, extensive genealogies, and even more maps, photographs, and archival materials; all of which will eventually be published as Volume II.
The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Vold Forde's valiant work of genealogy presented herein is encyclopedic, intelligible and thoroughly entertaining. Lineages of our scattered kindred so lovingly compiled by her, are a "collection for remembrance" inspired by the faithful lives of ten generations of Southern ancestors. Impressive archival research and background materials on the Bankston, Brooks, Cobb, Hamlin, Henderson, Irvin, Ivey, Jarrett, Lea, McDonald, Miller, Rambo, and Sappingtons of Georgia lines are included as well as the ancestors of Edwin Waller whose name was given to Waller County, Texas.
Within the pages of this book, you will find adventure, love, war, peace, depression, and prosperity in the lives of our valiant colonial, pioneer, antebellum and postbellum ancestors. You may correlate traits of these brave and steadfast women with those in your own mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters. If you seek a greater understanding of your Southern ancestry and of yourself, you will surely find it here.
The migrations of ten generations of grandmothers is charted from 1640 Colonial Pennsylvania, 1695 Maryland, 1560 Virginia, to the earliest settlements of what is now Caswell County and Persons County, North Carolina. The migration pattern continues from pre-Revolutionary Georgia to specially include Wilkes, Warren, Walton, Henry, Monroe counties. Prominent counties in 1840 Alabama are Pike and Bullock. Arkansas Counties noted are Polk, Sebastian and Montgomery. Worth County, Iowa and Dane County, Wisconsin are also noted.
If you decide to order the book you can request a free CDROM from the author with 1400 pages of proven genealogies, proofs for the NSDAR for Bankston, Henderson, Lea, Jarrett and Ivey, War of 1812, War Between the States (McDonald and Miller) proofs, research reports, maps and photos too numerous to detail by writing to me with your surface mail address. The CDROM will be available by Mid-June 2009.
Contributing authors receive a complimentary autographed copy and a free CDROM by sending me their surface address. Online purchasers receive the free CDROM by writing:
