An Events Industry Takes Shape
This timely book critically evaluates the factors which shape an events industry as it develops, with the aim of helping to narrow the disparate behaviours and practices of organisers within the global marketplace of international events.Stemming from an innovative qualitative research project, which included interviews with senior events organisers at landmark venues in both the UK and Poland, this volume provides an insight into both the emerging events industry in Poland and the developed events industry in the UK, highlighting cross-cultural risk and safety gaps that may impact organisers, clients, attendees, suppliers, and workers. The book highlights the importance of a unanimous global approach to events organisation, the creation of a professional community of practice, and ethos of self-learning within the events industry and the need for an international professional association for organisers involved with providing international events. The book explores the three themes of 'Event Culture', 'Tourism and Events', and 'Risk Awareness at Events', thus focusing on long-term factors of events industries.International in scope, this book will appeal to students on courses such as managing events, planning events, project management, and hospitality and tourism studies, as well as events organisers in locations where events is an emerging industry.

The 1783 Tax Lists and the 1790 Federal Census for Washington County, Pennsylvania
This work contains the 1783 tax lists for Washington County which were lost until 1982 when a duplicate set of the records was found in Harrisburg quite by chance; these records will be a boon to researchers interested in southwestern Pennsylvania. Tax lists form a very important adjunct to census records because they were normally compiled every year, indicate place of residence, show ownership of real estate and livestock, and can frequently be used to determine when a man turned twenty-one years of age. The Washington County of 1783 included all of south-western Pennsylvania west of the Monongahela River and south of the Ohio River, i.e., it included all of present-day Washington and Greene Counties as well as parts of Allegheny and Beaver Counties. The tax records have been supplemented by a restructured edition of the 1790 Federal Census of Washington County, which has been rearranged by townships, a rearrangement that was made possible by the discovery of the tax lists. This work contains several helpful maps which show former and current county boundaries.
A Display of Heraldry
The complex art and science of heraldry is here made simple by a very clear and thorough exposition. The book opens with several chapters on the origins and original uses of heraldry, followed by chapters on the shield and the multitude of design components used on it. Each design element is illustrated with a specific example from the arms of a particular family. The Crusades, the various ways in which arms could be acquired, and armorial bearings external to the shield, such as crests, wreaths, mantles, and supporters are discussed. In addition, the author examines titles of nobility, the origin of surnames, and the marshalling of arms and genealogies. Although there are illustrations of the arms of about 1,800 families, the thrust of the book is on the design and usage, and it is not intended to be a dictionary of coats of arms.Chapters include: Origin of Heraldic Bearings; Armorial Devices Assumed by the Feudal Leaders; Symbolic Import of the Tints Used in Heraldry; Signification of the Honourable Ordinaries; Partitions of the Shield; Angular and Curved Lines, or Accidents of Arms; The Lesser or Sub-Ordinaries; Lozenges, Escutcheons, and Frets; Stripes and Checkers; Combination of the Ordinaries; Lions and Their Disjointed Parts; Other Wild Beasts of Prey; Animals of the Chase; Domestic and Docile Animals; Birds as Heraldic Insignia; Aquatic Animals; Imaginary or Fabulous Creatures; The Human Frame and Its Members; Trees, Flowers, and Fruit; The Heavenly Bodies; Insignia Derived from Religious Sources; Various Forms of Crosses; Knights Errant; Fraternities of Knights Errant; The Crusades, or Holy Wars; The Crusades Continued; Siege and Storming of Jerusalem; Establishment of the Christians at Jerusalem; Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem; Decline and Fall of the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem; Bearings Acquired under Feudal Services, and from the Possession of Certain Domains; Peculiar Devices Arising from Military Duties; Arms Derived from Arts, Manufactures, and Husbandry; Armorial Devices Acquired at Tournaments, Fetes, and Revels; Jousts, Tilts, and Tournaments; Armorial Bearings External of the Shield; Crests, Wreaths, Mantles, and Supporters; Titles of Nobility, and the Heraldic Badges Appertaining Thereto; Knights, Esquires, and Gentlemen; Origin and Import of Surnames; Accidents of Arms, and Marks of Cadency; Marshalling of Arms and Genealogies; Funeral Ceremonies and Escutcheons; Augmentations of Arms; Abatements of Arms; Badges, Monograms, and Signs; and, Modern Perversions of the Heraldic Art.

1870 Census, Cabell County, West Virginia
"Every census has its own value; something that makes it different from all the rest. 1870's value comes from the information which can be gleaned about the Civil War. Are the sons missing?

Much about these displaced families appears in the 1870 Census if the researcher just has the patience to dig into the material."This work contains 1870 Census data for Census Districts: Barboursville, Grant, Guyandotte, McComas, and Union.

By: R.W. Simpson, Pub. 1913, reprinted 1996, 264 pages, soft Cover, New Index, ISBN #0-89308-101-9. At the close of the Revolutionary War, all the territory embraced in the present counties of ANDERSON, GREENVILLE, PICKENS, and OCONEE belonged to the Cherokee Indians.

Pendleton County, as afterwards established, was attached to Abbeville County and for the time being was in the judicial district of Ninety-Six. In 1789 this former Indian land was divided with part being laid off into a county called Pendleton and the other Greenville County.

Abstracts from Newspapers of Wilmington, North Carolina, 1807 -1810 with extant issues of 1812-1816. (Volume #5)
By: Raymond Parker Fouts, Pub. 1987, reprinted 2024, 150 pages, 8 1/2" x 11" soft cover, Index, ISBN #978-1-63914-214-9. New Hanover County was created in 1729 with the county seat being named Wilmington. New Hanover County is the parent county to: Brunswick, Duplin and Pender. It lies in the extreme Southeast corner of the state located along the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. These newspapers were published out of Wilmington.

Local items of interest include such things as: deaths, marriages, court notices, lost items, advertisements of lands for sale, runaway slaves, advertisements for estate sales, business advertisements, and other items that will be of interest to the genealogists. The newspaper often provides greater detail than the county record of those that were recorded. North Carolina did not record vital statistics until 1913, thus causing the newspaper accounts to become the sole source for this information, other than scattered Bible records. Numerous deaths of infants and young children are recorded in the newspaper and most often provide the sole surviving record of their existence.

New Hanover County was created in 1729 with the county seat being named Wilmington. New Hanover County is the parent county to: Brunswick, Duplin and Pender. It lies in the extreme Southeast corner of the state located along the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. These newspapers were published out of Wilmington. All items of genealogical information were abstracted for this book. Local items of interest include such things as: deaths, marriages, court notices, lost items, advertisements of lands for sale, runaway slaves, advertisements for estate sales, business advertisements, and other items that will be of interest to the genealogists. The newspaper often provides greater detail than the county record of those that were recorded. North Carolina did not record vital statistics until 1913, thus causing the newspaper accounts to become the sole source for this information, other than scattered Bible records. Numerous deaths of infants and young children are recorded in the newspaper and most often provide the sole surviving record of their existence.
