Strength Within: The Granger Chronicles

This is the story of my mother's family, spanning seven generations and over 150 years from 19th Century rural Hungary to modern day North America.

Beyond a genealogy, the book brings to life the people, places and times that shaped the Granger family - and the wider North American society during the most dynamic eras in modern history.

Strength Within: The Granger Chronicles presents life stories coupled with social history, describing the impact of world events and everyday life on the Grangers.

Erzsebet Vastagh with Lee Ann Smith Erzsébet (Liza) Vastagh, wife of the former Hungarian Ambassador to Canada, has placed my book in several key locations across Canada: University of Alberta in Edmonton and in Calgary, the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, the Hungarian Cultural Society in Winnipeg and the Hungarian School in Vancouver.
