Book Overview

This book covers the years 1873 - 1975 and the factual family history, (not a geneology), of a family from Germany, the Straleys, and a family from Ireland, the Kellys. Actual letters from within the family make up a large part of the book. Abundant comical and heart touching anecdotes make this book relative to YOUR OWN family.

Purpose and Inspiration

It is hoped that the book will inspire the reader to collect, draft, or record a similar collection of successes and failures from your own family members as a LEGACY for future generations.
