Comments received on the book:

* Ken, I received all my books yesterday and read well into the evening. Deepest gratitude for your leadership and enormous efforts to make this available to our families. They will be a great Christmas present for all my extended Brantley clan. Bob Brantley, Sandy, UT

* A masterful work, the Brantley Family history book will be treasured for years to come by countless Brantley descendants and genealogy researchers in general. Thank you, Ken Brantley. Thank you, thank you! Wanda Orton, Fredericksburg, TX

* Dear Mr. Brantley, I am so blown away by the books. I can't thank you enough for all the effort you have put into them and what a wonderful legacy, you have left. I'm just so grateful, that I am finally a real part of the family, I rightfully belonged to…. I'm just blown away by all the work you have done… What is so neat about this life is that if it weren’t for the story tellers, families would be so lost to the ages. Mickey Brantley Altenderfer, Murphy, NC.

* Dear Kenneth, I am sitting in the Allen County, Indiana public library with your amazing book in front of me. I am a descendant of Lavinia Brantley who married Jackson Bush. I would love to have The Brantley Family: Preachers, Planters and Pioneers of the South in my family genealogy collection. Please send information on price and how to order.

* Ken, I received the Brantley Book today and it has been many years since I have cried, and I've been to my share of funerals lately, but tears flowed when I sat down with this amazing work. I was overwhelmed with appreciation of the undertaken this must have been. To hold and see the names of all those Brantleys and related families was beyond describing. I know a lot of people contributed family information and help, but it was you that spearheaded and guided this history for so long to be compiled into this work of love. Ann Brantley Manning, Ashdown, Ark.

* It arrived today, what a wonderful, comprehensive book you have written! Thank you for all the many, many hours of research and work to get this published! Just in time for a family Thanksgiving. Again, thanks for all you have done. Julia Brantley Simon, Alexandria, VA

* Hello Ken, Just wanted to let you know your book arrived today… Now that I have my copy, I have opened it fully and for hours traveled through the entire book. I like the areas you have added that help us (Brantley descendants) as we travel through the chapters. I really enjoyed reading the family charts pages 1-54 and the documents pages in the back. How clever to add the family group record pages along with an Ancestor Chart. This makes our book personal. The Section Notes are a wonderful idea…. But Ken, it’s the pictures that make your book so outstanding. The pictures bring the words to life. They put faces to the words, thus making the words become very special. Oh, my dear cousin, I know you are so pleased with this amazing life’s work. Marsena Smith, Pensacola, FL

* Hey Ken, We got our books yesterday. They are terrific. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Sam Adams, Montgomery, AL.

* Ken, rec'd my book on Thursday and am well pleased. Thank you again for all of the work you put into this. It will be enjoyed for many years to come. Happy holidays Bob Brantley, Ft. Mill, SC

* Ken, I received my book this week and think it’s incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your life’s work with us. It is absolutely fascinating and reading our family history makes me feel so lucky to be alive! … I have met a small handful of Brantleys over the years and we’ve always joked about being cousins, but never found a common relative. Now I will be able to pull out this book and connect the dots! … Thank you again for all of your hard work! I can’t wait to show it to my family over the holidays! Suzi Brantley, Charlotte, NC

* Your "Beautiful Book" was received 11-22-2013: Calvin A. Lewis, Burnet, TX.

* It is a beautiful work that we will proudly pass on to our daughter. It is an accomplishment of which you should rightly be proud. It has already given me valuable knowledge of the Brantley side of my family, which I would likely never have had otherwise - and I have just started going through it! Thanks again. Zach Claxton, Highlands, NC.

* Ken, you are to be commended for completing your comprehensive book on our family. I guess you must have a great sense of pride and relief to see the final product. I would like to order five additional copies of the book, one each for my four children and one for Chicago's Newberry Library. R. Lamar Brantley, Chicago, IL.
