INTRO
(from Amazon)
Nine Generations of Farming and Family and Five Wars... When the Globe set sail on a misty morning in 1679 from London, 21-year-old Thomas Barnard was in the ship's hold, preparing for the long voyage to America. Trading five years' service for free land in America had seemed like a good idea at the time, but as England faded from view, Tom was already homesick for the green hills of Gloucestershire. In A Farming Family in the New World, we follow Tom's journey to America, and as the story unfolds, nine generations of his family flourish on American soil. From the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War through World War II, from 1679 to 2005, history comes to life in this meticulously researched book, which chronicles the history of one American family through times of peace and prosperity, poverty and war.

REVIEW
If you are interested in family history, than this biography of the Barnard Family who lived in America 1679-2005, is a book that you will enjoy. The book is very well written by CA Coffey who  give the view points of men, women and children as they live in the frontier west.  They worked and struggled through good and bad to keep their family, home, farm and their sacred faith together. Ms. Coffey appears to have done an enormous amount of research into the families. This book will give you some information to help you go about learning to research your family history.   The book includes family pictures, recipes, a bibliography and a memoriam.   The author used Ancestry.com as reference material.  Family history can be very interesting, informative and fun.  If you want to research your family, read A FARMING FAMILY IN THE NEW WORLD by CA Coffey. Excellent book.

I received a complimentary copy of  A FARMING FAMILY IN THE NEW WORLD from the author, CA Coffey for my point of view.  No other compensation took place.

I would give this book 4 STARS.
