Smiles and Kind Thoughts

This book is written to reflect the lives and personalities of real people-not just the genealogical statistics of born on, married on dates, etc. They all confronted and conquered a variety of life's challenges in Germany and in their newly adopted home in America. This time-consuming effort by the author also provides an excellent example of what others can do to discover and record their family's history for future generations. As a nation of immigrants, we should not let their contributions be forgotten. Accordingly, A Smile and A Kind Thought would be appreciated.
