LIVES: A Story of the O'Neels in America - Volume Two
Every family story is made richer by the photographs, records, faces, and documents that connect the past to the present.
In LIVES: A Story of the O'Neels in America - Volume Two, Ronald C. O'Neel expands the family history introduced in Volume One through an illustrated collection of genealogy, historical records, family photographs, newspaper clippings, military documents, obituaries, and treasured personal memories.
Beginning with the O'Neill family's deep roots in Ireland, Volume Two explores generations of ancestry and follows the family's journey into America. Genealogical records and family histories trace the O'Neel line through Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, lowa, Nebraska, and beyond, preserving the people and places that shaped generations of an American family.
The story then comes vividly to life through photographs and documents chronicling family life in Nebraska, the move to Spokane, Washington, childhood memories, siblings and relatives, education, marriage, Christian faith, pastoral ministry, and the milestones of a growing multigenerational family.
More than a genealogy book, LIVES - Volume Two is a visual family history and historical archive-a collection created ted to preserve the people, places, documents, and memories that might otherwise be lost to time. Together with Volume One, it offers an intimate portrait of heritage, faith, migration, family bonds, and the experiences of ordinary Americans across generations.
