Boaz...we usually get Ruth's story, but never Boaz's perspective on things. I think that would be an interesting one.

I would love to read some books from history from the civil war era maybe the wife of general Jackson or general lee. Or someone who was involved in the underground railway.

I'd definitely like to know more about the underground railway.
As far as Biblical characters, someday I would love to know more about Lois, Timothy's gradmother. She is described as having a strong, vibrant faith that was passed down to her daughter Eunice and later her grandson. Janet and Jenny, I love the Underground railroad also, and have read some good fiction and non-fiction books about it. My interest comes from having some Quaker relatives in past generations who may have been involved in it, and also from living in Indiana, where it was very active. More books dealing with that would be marvelous!

***Barbara, that's very interesting. Have you ever done a family history to learn more about your relatives specifically?
You know I think it would be interesting knowing the story behind the wife of Noah.

I found out one of my relatives seems to have been actively opposed to slavery; he was disinherited by his father, who was a rich slave owner in Georgia, because his religious beliefs wouldn't allow him to own slaves, but I haven't been able to find out if he worked to free them or not.

My parents went there a few years ago for their anniversary and went to that part of the country, but didn't have enough time to look into anything like they wanted. One of these days, I'm gonna do it myself!
Guess that's why i've always kind of liked books set in Ireland! :D

I would love to find a convict in my tree! But thats the aussie side of me. My cousin has done alot of the finding relatives. (dont have much contact with her) but we found out mums grandfather was born in Scotland but was actually Irish. they left Ireland cos of the potato famine and first to scotland then onto australia.

If you were an aussie you would too. Most of the Irish who were transported to Australia were not real convicts they often had only stolen a loaf of bread or something even less to feed there family. Alot were sent because of the English oppression. I dont want a bad one!
Mod
Yes it would be cool. The way they were treated is shameful and in reality you wouldn't want that to happen to anyone but on the other hand it is alot of these convicts that made Australia the country it is. Many stayed and went on to farm the land and put alot into the country.I have to say My state South Australia is the only state to be settled by Free settlers we never had convicts here.

I think they had to upstanding women in society too. I know that they shipped alot of criminals to america in the 1600's and 1700's to be free of them so that they could save on the cost of keeping them in jail. Most would become slaves in America or indentured servants.
Janet, Could you be thinking of Vickie McDonough's Wagon Load of Trouble? I seem to recall it having a similar theme.
I did write a book where the heroine had to marry to avoid a long jail sentence. It was a Heartsong book called Straight For the Heart. It was part of my North Dakota trilogy. The three books have been packaged together and will release on April 1st in a book called Wildflower Hearts.
