You have rich roots! Fascinating about your Muller-Miller ancestry and the reasoning behind that. It makes sense and I don’t blame them! Taking a class like you did would be right up my historical alley, too. I did the ancestry test last fall and was shocked to find that I’m as much French or Western European as Scots. But I bleed blue like you, my KY sister 😉 And I have to read Cumberland Bride. The cover is beautiful and I like Shannon very much. Once I can breathe a bit after this release, I’ll dive in. Merry almost Christmas, dear Carissa!

So the Cumberland Bride by Shannon Mcnear part of the Mayflower Brides series has become a new favorite frontier novel cause Kate in the novel is half German she has a German father, making it the first frontier novel that is close to my families journey to Kentucky.

You cite one of my favorite if not THE favorite Bible stories, Mary Kay. My George is often referred to as ‘Immigrant George’ which makes me wonder what might have happened to our family if he’d not been convicted and transported and remained in Scotland. Lady Laura of Wedderburn sure has romantic appeal lol 🙂 I’d love to hear your family story, name and all. Never get enough of this ancestry stuff!

Love the moniker Spears of Wedderburn. some day I will give you a grand laugh at a name in our family history. 🙂 Meanwhile, counting days to when A BOUND HEART is set free.

So good to bring in December with you, Cindy 🙂 I’m not a big fan of George either but I do like John, especially Jon, and Katherine in any spelling. Chuckling about your own name. I don’t hear many of yours any more, come to think of it! I found another S name the other day I’m going to create character for in this Jamestown book – Sisley. She was actually one of the early settlers. I’m wondering though if she is actually Cecily but they didn’t know how to spell it! 🙂

Thank you for taking time here, dear Amy! As I wrote this I thought of all the fascinating stories from reading friends’ family trees. Endless and varied as the American people. Mutts, I call us at times. But proud of it!
