About the author: M. Barbara Buckland fulfills the role of family historian and
storyteller. She and her six siblings were born and raised in Syracuse, New York, in a multi-generational home that included her parents and paternal grandparents, and spanned the difficult times of the Depression. Her maternal grandparents, along with aunts and uncles, lived nearby and family members supported each other socially, emotionally and economically. Her grandparents, most of whom were immigrants to the United States, were an invaluable wealth of family history. Their stories were passed on by word of mouth at family gatherings, back in a time when familial conversation and activities prevailed, long before the days of television, computers and multimedia entertainment. Married for 56 years, Barbara and her husband Bob raised four children in Central New York and are the proud grandparents of eight. In her first published book, Barbara has woven a tapestry of her family's legacy in words to share so that her grandchildren and all who follow, will come to know and understand whence they came. Barbara and Bob reside in West Monroe, New York.
