Where did we come from? : a family history: Condon, Snow and Byron / [Ginette Snow].

Family history is a massive phenomenon of our times but what are we after when we go in search of our ancestors? Beginning with her grandparents, Light moves between the present and the past, in an extraordinary series of journeys over two centuries, across Britain and beyond. In following the lives of the migrants who traveled the country looking for work, she ultimately reflects on history itself, and on our constant need to know who went before us and what we owe them.

The best genealogical sources in print : essays by Gary Boyd Roberts / Gary Boyd Roberts.

Among the books within the pile are the Earl of Egmont's own 'Genealagy from Wm ye Conqueror fifty two ways &c &c &c'. At his feet is a roll labelled 'According to act of P-t 1743'. Above is Fame trumpetting 'H-r T-ps...T-ps', adding 'P:S:V. that is Independent alias strong alias stinks vide genealogy'. Perceval was elected Member of Parliament December 1741 where he became leader of the independents, a group of 'desperate tradesmen' according to Stephens. His popularity soon waned and nothing more of his publications was remembered except a history of his own family which he printed at enormous expense, the subject of this print
