Download or read book Cyndi s List written by Cyndi Howells and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REF Ths is a multi-title review. The titles include: 'Cyndi's List (880 pg)', 'Instant Information on the Internet (117 pg)', and 'Instant Information on the Internet (86 pg)' - Although Internet directories such as Howells's wildly popular site, (www.cyndislist. com), offer well-organized access to genealogy sites online, many researchers still want to plan searches with a book in hand. Now Howells (Netting Your Ancestors) has created a print version, with some exceptions, of her web site. Including over 100 categories and over 40,000 links (most with brief annotations), this book has something for nearly any genealogy-related topic that comes to mind.Schaefer's 'Instant Information' series offers pared-down compilations of basic information search sites. Her book on the United States categorizes web sites by state and includes vital records information sites, prominent research libraries and societies, indexes and databases, and general information sites. In the British Isles book, Schaefer discusses British counties and expands her lists to include major sites for churches and the Celtic language as well as a place-name index.All three books provide easy access to useful genealogy sites. While Howells strives for exhaustive coverage of genealogy links, Schaefer offers very general site lists. Though Howells's book comes with a solid price tag, the purchase of each new (and planned) title in Schaefer's series would quickly rack up the same price or more. Still, for those who want only a brief, focused guide, Schaefer's books are an economical alternative. Elaine M. Kuhn, Allen Cty. P.L., Fort Wayne, IN-

Download or read book Land So Fair written by Firth Haring Fabend and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land So Fair opens in 1737 on a Hudson Valley farm, where the family's land, "sought, bought, cleared, planted, harvested, bequeathed, fought over, challenged, confiscated, and laced with bones and blood," is threatened anew each generation. Three strong-minded Dutch-American women, related to each other by marriage, deal with the privations of life in a wilderness community, the deaths of beloved family members, threats to their land by outside usurpers, and a dawning realization that slavery, once considered "necessary," is leading inexorably to tragedy. Troubles within the Dutch church, combined with violent uprisings by slaves, make life a test of endurance, physically, emotionally, and morally. As the struggle for independence from England versus loyalty to the Crown heats up, war erupts, and daily life takes on an ever-more desperate character. A fierce local "civil war" intensifies the looting, plundering, massacre, battles, and treason of the Revolution. In the end, the futility of war is clear when the English commander in chief acknowledges to George Washington in 1783 that the conflict should have ended with the American victory at Trenton seven years before, in 1776. "Fabend's evocative prose recreates a vivid New World. A poignant and gripping story, richly researched."
