Hello!! Constance Hopkins Snow is my (9th) great-grandmother ! I just discovered your novels and am completely thrilled. I have so many questions for you- I wonder if you'd have time for a call or a visit sometime? My name is Janis Burroughs
J.A. Snow Hello Janis Burroughs, or should I say COUSIN Janis? I don't get on Goodreads very often so I am glad I caught your message. I am on Facebook every day. My author page is called An American Family and I invite you to follow me there. Our family was a very interesting bunch! I use my author page as a blog, with updates on the series, pictures of where the family lived, etc. I am currently working on Volume Four called Escaping the Yoke, about the Snow family during the Revolutionary War period. If you do not subscribe to Facebook my personal email is jacisnow@hotmail.com so feel free to write to me. I would love to hear about your "branch" of the family tree!
