Great blog. If you haven't heard of it yet there is a book titled,"The Roundy Family in America" written by Everett Roundy(I have a copy). It has a pretty complete history with interesting anecdotes.

I am looking for more information about Martha Jane Edmiston... do you know anyone who may information on her? One of our cousins is trying to put together a book about Lauren H. Roundy and is not having much luck in finding info on her.

Renée Rich Mounteer recently authored another book on Shadrack and Betsey, titled, "Shadrack and Betsy Roundy, Their Roots and Their Legacy." She references the Roundy Family in America book and adds an awful lot of other historical information. It's really interesting. On the inside cover, it says you can write her at 190 South Canyon Avenue, Springville, Utah 84663.
