I THINK I KNOW WHO I AM: the anatomy of a family
The author has researched his own family history extensively and explains how he went about this and sets out the resulting discoveries which include finding a direct line of descent from the Plantagenet Kings of England which in turn established links to many royal and aristocratic families. There are many interesting characters revealed in the process, about whom the author comments, and there is much advice about how to research family history together with some warnings of some of the pitfalls which may mislead the unwary. This anatomy of a family provides some illuminating insights into social history and some entertaining anecdotes.
My Family Through Six Generations
Best known as a Norfolk ornithologist, Moss Taylor’s autobiography, My Family Through Six Generations, pays scant attention to this aspect of his life. Rather, it focuses on his family history from the late Victorian and Edwardian period in Southampton to the early years of the 21st century. Both his grandfather and father were members of the Magic Circle, while an interest in photography has permeated through four generations. Educated at Chigwell School in Essex, Moss qualified in medicine at London’s Royal Free School of Medicine and eventually worked as a general practitioner at Sheringham, in north Norfolk. It was while working in Great Yarmouth that he met his future wife, Fran, who devoted her life to her husband and their three sons. Her tragic death from cancer forms the moving finale to the book.
