Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many of the historical and genealogical books written during the 1800's and early 1900's, this work consists of two main sections: the "History of Stonington," which consumes the book's first 200 pages, and concludes with the 500 page, "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families." Beginning with the original patents in 1631, the author summarizes the history of the town, and addresses the development of the various facets of society, such as their religious institutions, the military component, government, infrastructure, commercial development, the various wars endured, and other historical events. The narrative is filled with the names of residents involved with, or prominent in, the town's sectors or institutions. There are also numerous lists and military rosters of those who served, elected officials, and of individuals involved in the commercial and ecclesiastical development. The second section of the book, the "Genealogical Register of Stonington Families," comprises an alphabetical listing beginning with the immigrant ancestor, and progresses through five or more generations, providing names, birth and marriage dates, and, often times, a narrative of the background and accomplishments of the individual. In addition to this alphabetically arranged register, an index is also available, which exceeds more than 12,000 entries.Following are the immigrant surnames whose genealogies are outlined: Avery, Babcock, Baldwin, Bennett, Bentley, Billings, Breed, Brown, Browning, Burch, Burrows, Chapman, Chesebrough, Clift, Coates, Cobb, Collins, Copp, Cottrell, Davis, Dean, Denison, Eells, Fanning, Fish, Frink, Gallup, Gore, Grant, Greenman, Haley, Hallam, Hancox, Hart, Hewitt, Hinckley, Hobart, Holmes, Hull, Hyde, Kellogg, Main, Mallory, Manning, Mathews, Mason, Miner, Morgan, Noyes, Page, Palmer, Park, Peabody, Pendleton, Phelps, Pollard, Pomeroy, Prentice, Randall, Rhodes, Rossiter, Russell, Searle, Sheffield, Sisson, Smith Stanton, Stewart/Steward, Swan, Thompson, Trumbull, Vincent, West, Wheeler, Wilcox, Williams, Witter, Woodbridge, and York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcomed worldwide on its first publication, this practical and lively guide for the amateur genealogist has now been fully revised and updated. The new material includes a section on medieval genealogy which targets the increasing numbers of family historians who have reached back as far as the sixteenth century and wish to go further. Heraldry is introduced for the first time. There is detail on the location and genealogical content of military records and the records of Poor Law Unions and their workhouses. Details are also included of the latest changes to the location and cost of civil registration sources. A problem-solving manual rather than a simple how-to guide, The family tree detective explains what to do when the usual methods fail and provides invaluable assistance for those without access to London’s vast resources of genealogical information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rodenberg inventively uses Bonaparte’s own unfinished novel to tell the story of the despot’s rise to power, which she juxtaposes against the story of his last love affair. Told creatively and with excellent research!” —Stephanie Dray, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of America's First Daughter and The Women of Chateau Lafayette “Beautiful and poignant.” —Allison Pataki, New York Times best-selling author of The Queen’s Fortune With its delightful adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s real attempt to write romantic fiction, Finding Napoleon: A Novel offers a fresh take on Europe’s most powerful man after he’s lost everything—except his last love. A forgotten woman of history—the audacious Countess Albine—helps narrate their tale of intrigue, desire, and betrayal. After the defeated Emperor Napoleon goes into exile on tiny St. Helena Island in the remote South Atlantic, he and his lover, Albine de Montholon, plot to escape and rescue his young son. Banding together enslaved Africans, British sympathizers, a Jewish merchant, a Corsican rogue, and French followers, they confront British opposition—as well as treachery within their own ranks—with sometimes subtle, sometimes bold, but always desperate action. Amid his passions and intrigues, Napoleon finishes his real novel Clisson that he started writing as a young man. Now it's a father's message to the young son whom his enemies took from him, but how can they get it to the boy? When Napoleon and Albine break faith with one another, ambition and Albine’s husband threaten their reconciliation. To succeed, Napoleon must learn whom to trust. To survive, Albine must decide whom to betray. This elegant, richly researched novel reveals the Napoleon history conceals and the Countess Albine history has forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For better or worse, what we are is often determined by our family; the events that occurred many years before we were born, and the choices that were made by our forebears are our inheritance - we are the inexorable product of family history. So it is with nations. The history of Great Britain has been largely defined by powerful and influential families, many of whose names have come down to us from Celtic, Danish, Saxon or Norman ancestors. Their family names fill the pages of our history books; they are indelibly written into the events which we learned about at school. Iconic family names like Wellington, Nelson, Shakespeare, Cromwell, Constable, De Montfort and Montgomery... there are innumerable others. They reflect the long chequered history of Britain, and demonstrate the assimilation of the many cultures and languages which have migrated to these islands over the centuries, and which have resulted in the emergence of our language. This book is a snapshot of several hundred such family names and delves into their beginnings and derivations, making extensive use of old sources, including translations of The Domesday Book and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, as well as tracing many through the centuries to the present day.
