Stokely Family Volume
The Stokely Family in America
Margaret & William Parker
“We really loved our MBW Family History Volume: The Stokely Family in America. We were especially pleased (and somewhat amazed!) with the commercial, coffee-table book quality and appearance of the book. We enjoyed seeing many of our treasured family photos and documents incorporated into the design of the book . . . often in clever and unusual ways. We both discovered so much about the family that we were previously unaware of. For example, it was extremely fascinating to learn many details concerning the history of the Tennessee community our ancestors lived in during the Civil War period. I believe that learning about the experiences of our ancestors can provide us all with thought-provoking insights into who we are today. Working with MBW was truly a great experience. We’re so glad to have this new family heirloom which I feel certain will be enjoyed by generations of our family to come.”
Fernald Family Volume
The Fernald Family in America
Patty & Bruce Fernald
“Before commissioning Modern Bookworks to create The Fernald Family in America, I thought I had a pretty basic understanding of the family history. I was soon to learn, however, that there was SO much more to discover! MBW did a fantastic job bringing the lives of people who lived hundreds of years ago back to life. Our new family history volume is like having a window back into the past – a window through which we can see and experience the lives of our ancestors. I feel so much more connected to the history of this country, now knowing that my forebears witnessed it firsthand. The finished book is absolutely beautiful—I’m sure that generations of my family will be enjoying it long after I am gone.”

Pam & Bruce Spencer
“Pam and I are delighted with our Spencer Family History Volume. We have had great fun sharing it with friends—especially the stories concerning some of the more colorful characters in our family’s past. We have it prominently displayed on, yes, our coffee table! The quality of the art work, writing and research are evident throughout. We enjoyed learning new facts and some interesting new details about our family.”
“While the details about the family are interesting in their own right, what sets this work apart is its effort to bring to life all of the characters in the continuing play of our longstanding family story. Each generation is revealed against the backdrop of the history of its time and place using both art and photographs. These images (many provided by our family) are interwoven with anecdotes about the individuals being featured. In our opinion, it is this combination that really brings the lives of long-gone generations back to life.”
