Proctor, originally from Lunenburg and a graduate of Fitchburg State College, began researching her ancestors while pursuing a master’s degree at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “I became interested in family history, and they offered classes in genealogy there,” she said. But she did acknowledge that doing the research long distance was somewhat difficult, saying, “You have to know Local history to put it in context.” When she and her husband John decided to move back to Massachusetts to be closer to family, they chose Pembroke for the town’s proximity to Boston. It was only when she got out her genealogical research, completed long-distance in Virginia, that Proctor realized that her 11th great-grandfather, Robert Barker, was one of Pembroke’s founding fathers. And it was Barker’s son, Robert Barker Jr., who constructed the Adah Hall House on Barker St. in 1685, and now owned and maintained by the Pembroke Historical Society. She had discovered her earliest connections to the Barkers, the earliest settlers and founders of the town she was now living in. Now, Proctor has authored a book on Pembroke history. “Images of America: Pembroke” is one of the latest books in the Images of America pictorial history series published by Arcadia Publishing. The books chronicle histories of towns through a series of more than 200 old photographs. “A lot of these pictures have never been published before, and they come from Historical Socie ...

"Cracks in the Foundation" By Erica Ferencik Waking Dream Press 312 pages paperback, $14.95 These days the real estate market has been about as cheery as a scurvy outbreak. Foreclosures multiplying, home values plummeting, sales stagnating. Hide the sharp objects. Given this bleak backdrop, what better time to release a comic novel about real estate? Framingham Author Erica Ferencik calls her new book "Cracks in the Foundation" "the perfect antidote to this gloomy market." Ferencik should know. When she's not writing books - "Cracks" is her fourth - penning screenplays, performing standup comedy and contributing to National Public Radio's "Morning Stories" program, Ferencik works as a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Sudbury. "Cracks" follows the farcical exploits of Ginger Kanadoo, a veteran real estate agent in the fictional upstate New York town of Squamskootnocket. By pure coincidence, Ferencik grew up in the nonfictional upstate New York city of Schenectady. Sadly, Ginger has become a victim of the region's feeble real estate market where she has been reduced to trying to sell an outhouse as a "starter." The commode abode does have water views of a weed-choked lake. Another property she's trying to sell smells like...well, like something you'd find in an outhouse. Breaking this news to the homeowners requires a mother lode, so to speak, of diplomacy. Not helping matters is the arrival of Tandy Brickenhaus ...
