Download or read book Manorial Records for Family Historians written by Geoffrey Barber and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family historians and genealogists are usually well-aware of church records (parish registers, churchwarden's accounts books, overseers of the poor disbursements and accounts, etc.) but fewer understand manorial records and how the manor operated. This is such an important topic for turning basic genealogies into family history (at least for UK researchers) that an understanding of the manor and manorial courts is essential for the serious researcher, particularly as these records will become more accessible in time. The significant improvements to the Manorial Documents Register at The National Archives in the UK, currently underway, are just the start. The huge interest in on-line family history research will eventually start to focus on these records, resulting in better access to original records and more work done on transcriptions. The material in this booklet is based on the author's experience in using manorial records for his own research and from reading many books published in this area, most of which are now out of print.

Download or read book Havana Buzz written by Alessandro Cosmelli and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2017 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Havana Buzz was shot in 2015 in Havana, Cuba. Once a majestic and cosmopolitan city at the heart of the Spanish colonial empire, turned playground for the American wealthy and powerful in the first half of the 20th century, for nearly 60 years Havana has been the capital of one of the last remaining socialist regimes in the world. This historical U turn is at the core of Havana's unique identity. The anti-urban character of Cuba's communist rule and the inflexible embargo imposed by the United States cast a paralyzing spell on the lavish metropolis, freezing it in time. Havana Buzz explores Cuba's capital at this time of much awaited historical transition. Caught in fleeting glimpses from its public buses, Havana's features are dispassionately laid bare, and the truth is revealed beyond the myth. Behind the romantic languidness of its urban relinquishment, the daily struggles for survival of an impoverished but resourceful population are displayed against the backdrop of anachronistic propaganda billboards, decrepit housing estates, crumbling infrastructures and a lush tropical nature that reclaims its rule after man's neglect. Yet, the signs of change are visible throughout the city and the new appears to seep relentlessly through the cracks of the past, creating a unique blend of antique and nouveau, nostalgia and hope, disillusionment and elation.
