What others say about John Peel – Life Preserver:

EUREKA! At last! Now I know so much of my family background that I never knew before, thanks to John Peel’s SUPERB ancestry, The Adventures of Samuel Jamot Brown. John’s work has opened a whole new chapter in my life knowing where I came from. – Sam Jamot Brown

The books came on Christmas Eve day so I was able to hand them out to my siblings, children, nieces, nephews and my mother. It was a hit and got rave reviews. They loved the easy-to-follow history with a twist and the many pictures we included.
I sent a copy to my newly found cousin who has done a lot of serious Stites history research and he wrote back: “One of the things I really admire about your book is how well written it is. I consider myself a decent writer, but genealogy tends to tie me in knots with all the different factoids being thrown at you. Your book does a great job of cutting to the chase and keeping it interesting. Kudos.” – Sam Stites
