My Buck Family of Virginia Book

Over the years, a number of people asked if I planned to write a genealogy book about the Buck family.  For a long time, I always said “No, that would be too much work”.  But I continued in my genealogy hobby and even wrote a bit.  I made a blog, “The Buck Family of Virginia”, http://buckfamilyofvirginia.blogspot.com/2007/01/first-posting.html (begun 13 years ago!) and posted to it irregularly.  Not too long ago, I realized that I actually had written a book – it just wasn’t in book form and was not organized very well.  At that point I decided to not attempt to write about the entire Buck family but to write a book about my direct ancestors and a few other interesting family members.  I did this by cutting and pasting from various articles, posts and emails I had written.  The result is “My Buck Family of Virginia:  The Family Tree of Gordon Sandlin Buck” which was accepted today by Amazon and is available as a Kindle eBook now at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0847R7WG8/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=my+buck+family+of+virginia&qid=1580155175&sr=8-2 .

In a few days, the paperback version should be available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842MZMSG/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=my+buck+family+of+virginia&qid=1580155355&sr=8-3 . 

OK, so this is “self-publishing” but it is also “print on demand” so I don’t have to order hundreds of books at a time, keep copies on hand and mail them out.  I’m taking the easy way out and letting Amazon do all the work.  Anyone that wants a copy can order directly from Amazon.

But you don’t have to have a copy of the book to get to the information.  Almost all of the information in the book is available on my Buck Family of Virginia blog.
