The history of the Groenhagen families in Ostfriesland, Germany, and the United States. Groenhagen Family History covers Harm Siebelts Groenhagen�s (Groenhagen's second great-grandfather) descendants to the present and his ancestors back to Geert Garrels (the family didn�t use the surname Groenhagen until about 1811), who was born about 1640. The book also discusses Geert Garrels� descendants in Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Germany. Groenhagen�s book also covers Harm Tammen Groenhagen�s descendants to the present and his ancestors back to Garrelt Nonnen, who was born before 1685. Garrelt Nonnen�s descendants can be found in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Germany. Groenhagen Family History includes a chapter on genetic genealogy. Using DNA testing, Groenhagen is finally able to answer the question regarding whether or not he is related to Harm Tammen Groenhagen and his descendants.

Burright Family History covers the story of the Burrights (then Barheits) from their time in Recife, Brazil, during the mid-1650s to New Netherland and beyond. The reader will follow Cornelius Burright from New York to the Old Northwest and each of his children and their descendants as they took part in the settlement of the west. It is not an exaggeration to say that Burright history is American history. Chapter 1 covers the Burright family before Cornelius Burright, who was perhaps the first Burright. Chapter 2 discusses Cornelius Burright and his time in Ohio and, later, Illinois. Chapters 3-12 cover each of Cornelius Burright's children who survived to adulthood. Each of these chapters includes a list of descendants to the fifth generation (with Cornelius Burright being the first generation). Chapter 13 discusses the relatively recent introduction of science to genealogy through the use of DNA testing. The author writes about how he used several DNA testing companies to find hundreds of Burright cousins throughout the United States and, perhaps, Norway. Finally, the author added a name index of more than 20 pages to help direct readers to where he discusses their ancestors and cousins in the book. The author also hopes the name index will help readers identify distant cousins that they discover through DNA testing.

In What Really Happened, Kevin Groenhagen presents the facts concerning Bill Clinton's actual record on Iraq and terrorism. It's a record that is far different from what Clinton Inc, and their allies in the media have been telling the American people during the past eight years. The facts Clinton Inc. has attempted to rewrite include, but are not limited to, the following: * The Clinton administration in 1998 claimed that al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq. * Secretary of Defense William Cohen in July 2000 said protecting the American people from the threat posed by axis of evil (Iran, Iraq, and North Korea) was the most important issue to address. * Bill Clinton's policies vis-a-vis Iraq ultimately led to 9/11 and other messages with no words.

The history of baseball is filled with players whose careers were defined by one bad play. Mike Torrez is remembered as the pitcher who gave up the infamous three-run homer to Bucky "Bleeping" Dent in the 1978 playoffs tie-breaker between the Red Sox and Yankees. Yet Torrez's life added up to much more than his worst moment on the mound. Coming from a vibrant Mexican American community that settled in Topeka, Kansas, in the early 1900s, he made it to the Majors by his own talent and efforts, with the help of an athletic program for Mexican youth that spread through the Midwest, Texas and Mexico during the 20th century. He was in the middle of many transformative events of the 1970s--such as the rise of free agency--and was an ethnic role model in the years before the "Fernandomania" of 1981. This book covers Torrez's life and career as the winningest Mexican American pitcher in Major League history.
