Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Through an extensive amount of research, the author discovered her ancestral connections to the Mayflower pilgrims John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. Her research proved an unbroken ancestral line from John Alden to herself. After gathering the needed sources, she submitted eight generations of family records to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and became an approved member of the Society, located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Using much of the genealogical sources she collected while researching her Mayflower roots, she created the book "Unspoken Words: A Descendant of Stillwater Pioneers Discovers Her Ancestors." In addition to the genealogical sources she used while writing the book, she also includes many newspaper articles beginning in the 1850s for the reader to put themselves in the respective era within the book. In addition, she includes stories from extended family members as well as her own writings, for a creative non-fiction element.The story of her ancestors begins in Bangor, Maine with the pioneers moving to Stillwater, Minnesota in the mid-1850s. The story continues with the pioneer families marriages, births, celebrations, and deaths, spanning over 150 within the town of Stillwater, regarding the lives of these pioneer families and their descendants.The majority of the story takes place in Stillwater, Minnesota; however, there are parts within the book where St. Paul, Minnesota is mentioned and also featured.
