Daniel Guzman From Prussia to Nebraska

The time I have spent collecting the data and photo's to prepare for this book has been some of the most rewarding hours ever.  Having never known my Grandfather and Grandmother at all, it has been amazing to me that I now feel as though they were very much a part of my life, almost as if I had been there with them on that old homestead in Nebraska. 

It has made me appreciate the Pioneer life and the many hardships that our ancesters endured during those early years, out there on the prairie at the mercy of mother nature.  It was a time of true reliance upon the Lord for He was all they had to depend on in the time of deprivation and illness.  And they knew where their blessings came from in their times of plenty, as it could only have come as answer to prayer.

There are actually four generations between my Grandfather, Daniel, and me.  Daniel was 56 years old when my father, Albert, was born, and my father was nearly 49 years old when I was born.  So, though, Daniel and Dinah are my grandparents, this book has a span of nearly 200 years from Daniels birth in 1849 to his many descendants in 2003.

Inside the pages you will find, along with birth and death records, the story of a family brought to life with all of the joy and sadness in between.

However, it is all of the new and wonderful family members that I have met along the way that have made this endeavor such a joy.  Though we seem to be scattered all over the United States now, there is still a wonderful sense of family among us and it is my hope to visit each person before this book goes to print.
