This is a terrific read about #historicalheroine Cynthia Ann Parker. I've done a lot of research on the Parkers having heard as a young girl that my Parker side of the family were related. As a lifelong genealogist I set out to prove it true or false. Turns out we are related to Quanah Parker not by blood but by marriage in a most convoluted way. So probably not what the family had expected. #feistyfeb
krismac I want to read this book but can't find it at the bookstores! 8y
Texreader @krismac My book is so old it's misshapen and the pages are yellow. I was just thinking I need a new copy. Guess that's going to be difficult. I hope you find it. It is excellent and impossible to put down 8y
ValerieAndBooks Still cool to have that genealogical link to them!! 8y

Laura317 @Texreader My mother was a Parker. How cool that you are related to that branch. 8y
Texreader @ValerieAndBooks I guess you are right. All the folks who told me those stories had passed by the time I solved the puzzle. Maybe a good thing though. It was an honor for them to think of that connection in the way they did. 8y
Texreader @Laura317 The Parker families have a lot of neat histories, related or not! I've loved learning my Parker history! Many many generations of Baptist preachers--came to an end with my grandpa who had no desire. But no wonder I love to talk so much. 8y
CrowCAH Yay for finding family! It's so interesting to learn about those who came before us. 8y
LeahBergen I read this book last year. It was great! 8y
