Second Stages in Researching Welsh Ancestry
Anyone who has had any success in researching their Welsh ancestry will know that a grasp of specialized Welsh genealogical methods and sources is only one of several factors that contributed to that success. They will know, for example, how important it is in Welsh research to have some understanding of the social, cultural, religious, and economic background of the communities in which those ancestors lived. This book attempts to broaden that understanding, especially for the period prior to 1800 when most researchers begin to experience difficulties. In addition, it aims to make readers more aware of some little-known sources and the special uses that may be applied to the information found in these sources.

A detailed history of an old Welsh family home; this also includes the historical records of all the houses in the parish of Penegoes up to 1901. An invaluable reference for anyone interested in family history or this area of mid-Wales.
The Giant's Children
The families named Pughe, Lloyd, and Pryce have been born and raised for over 400 years underneath the mythical Giant's Chair. They are the Giant's Children. Their story begins with Richard son of Hugh who sold a part of Pughe land on the 9th of November 1625, and ends with the generation of Hugh Pughe Lloyd and his sister Catherine Pryce Lloyd, my mother, who both died in the 1980's.

One Family's Response to Terrorism
On January 18, 1984, Malcolm Kerr, president of the American University of Beirut and a respected scholar of Middle East politics, was shot in the back of the head as he stepped out of an elevator on his way to work. At the time, the chaos of Lebanon’s civil war made it impossible to investigate who had carried out the killing and why. Seventeen years later, armed with new information concerning the assassination and supported by the Anti-Terrorism Act passed by Congress in 1996, his family came to a painful consensus that nonviolent justice through the rule of law was a duty they could not ignore. Disturbing revelations emerged as the author explored U.S. government intelligence, U.S. dis...
Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, 1775-1800
The "headright" system, widely used for acquiring land in Virginia was never recognized in Virginia's Northern Neck. People wanting to acquire land there had to purchase a warrant and obtain a survey before they were issued a grant. The original Grant Books, now on microfilm, were used in making this collection of abstracts, and they generally provide the following information on some 5,000 Northern Neck residents: the name of the grantee, dates of warrant and survey, date and location of grant, amount of acreage, names of former owners/occupiers, names of adjacent property owners, and often the names of heirs and other family members.
