I enjoyed your historical story. Yes, southern family lines can be quite complicated. I like that you wrote this story in bold and large font for easy reading. The graphic is okay, but a photo of one of your ancestors would be better. Once you make the corrections, your piece will read with more clarity.
I think you have typos in these areas:
~Borders where(were) uncertain
~trained 1,800 soldier (s needed)
~Jewish blood mentioned earlier(in) this story (insert in)
~because the when Johann Peter Seitz, (take the out)
~ from Rotterdam on the ship (need a period after ship)

Thank your for the review and for finding the spags I needed to correct. The Ships name was William and Sarah. Maybe I need the name in quotes or with commas before and after instead of a period after ship.

Or put it in italics. You are welcome. It was interesting.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was really interesting, Beth. It must be fascinating discovering your family from the past. I keep saying I'll do it, but never got around to it. This will be another excellent factual book for your family to treasure, I look forward to more. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thank you again my friend. I'm never sure if there dips into my own genealogy are really something other people would want to read. I'm pleased when you tell me you found it interesting.

Yes, it really is interesting. I do a lot of reseach before I start writing my fiction books, I still think you have to get somethings right. By doing that, I'm learning more about real peoples' lives, and reading your posts, brings it alive. Always interesting, my friend. :))

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Genealogies are interesting. Your comment about being from the South with who knows what relationships can be true. Why couldn't Jews go to a Baptist church?

Thank you Brett, There is no reason they couldn't go to a Baptist church, but they just wouldn't likely become an active member unless they gave up their faith. I was thinking she was of the Jewish faith, but her family had long ago left the faith.
