Mr. Schlegel has abstracted all the genealogical information that appeared in the Northern Irish newspaper the Londonderry Journal from its inception in June 1772 through the end of 1784. While marriage notices predominate, researchers will also encounter reference to birthds, deaths and separations, estate settlements, and notices of persons emigrating to North America. All told, this fully indexed publication identifies some 2,000 Irish men and women, and it should be especially useful in tracing 18th-century Scotch-Irish ancestors

This is a study of the Maquis in southern France, the Resisters who took to the woods and hills in the struggle against the German Occupation in the Second World War. H. R. Kedward's detailed and perceptive account explores what participation in the Maquis meant for those involved both at the time and subsequently. He examines the motivations of the maquisards and how the circumstances of occupation and resistance affected the ways of life of rural communities in the south of France. This is a rich and original book, which achieves a fruitful integration of extensive archival research and oral history. Professor Kedward's scholarly and readable history allows the voices of individuals to be heard, and offers us important insights into the nature of community and regional tradition. From the many fascinating case-studies, fully supplemented by detailed maps, emerge a sense of place, a clearer understanding of the maquisard, and an unsentimental assessment of the place of the Maquis in French history. -
