Santa Ana, CA: Graphic Publishers, 2014. Large octavo, 208 pp., illustrated, pictorial covers. Beginning in the 1600s, seven men separately arrived in the New World, seeking previously-unknown freedoms, and without realizing it started a family tee. Their surnames were Allen, Hough, Matthew, Davis, Belts, Beek, and White. They witnessed the founding of a nation and watched as it spread from ocean to ocean, in the meantime raising families, breaking the prairies, establishing businesses, fighting in their adopted country's wars from the Revolution forward, shouldering civic responsibilities -- and becoming Americans. Their descendants became the Hough-White family, and their stories, photographs and memories share a glimpse into life during America's founding, pioneer period, and up to the present. Another section gives brief genealogical lists of each immigrant's descendants, while the final section tells the story of one branch of this family tree -- that of Fred Hough's marriage to Emily White in 1926, the births and raising of their four children, and the four siblings' children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren! Even if your family name isn't one of the seven, you'll find this book a fascinating and inspirational read; it is, in a way, the story of all our families. The books is NEW, unopened and unread.
