Researching Ancestral Crisis in Ireland
Examines Ireland's darkest historical crises over the past 400 years and their impact on our ancestors.Ireland is an extraordinarily beautiful island from which millions can claim their direct ancestry. But Ireland is also an island which has experienced some truly extraordinary moments of crisis which will have directly impacted our forebears, helping to shape us into the individuals that we are today. Whenever such crises happened, whether on a national scale or within the home, there was invariably somebody standing close to hand with a quill and parchment to document the misfortunes that befell so many.In this latest book, family historian Chris Paton takes a look at some of the darkest episodes of Irish history over the last four hundred years, as well as the everyday crises that affected everyone throughout their lives. He will discuss the impact of many major events on our ancestors, including colonisation, conquest and rebellion, as well as the various pressures endured from within the family, the church, and the state.Along the way Chris highlights the records that can help us to show the various trials and tribulations faced by our ancestors, which can help to vividly bring our family histories to life, including those available both online and within Ireland's many local and national archives.
Using Gravestones to Trace Your Ancestors
Explores how gravestones offer valuable genealogical and social history insights, aiding family research and uncovering hidden stories.Everyone dies, it's the one certainty in life. Whilst burials have been taking place for thousands of years, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw the start of the gravestone boom as public graveyards became commonplace and personalised gravestones became more financially viable. The information provided on gravestones and monuments make them a valuable primary source for anyone wanting to trace their family history. They can provide details that are not available in the official records, holding clues to break down brick walls, but also work hand in hand with original records and documents.Taking an in depth look at what our ancestors left behind on their gravestones and monuments, Amanda Leedham advises the reader how to record this information, and explores how it can aid family research and paint a picture of our ancestors' lives. From exploring the types of occupations listed, to how family ties are portrayed, and from child mortality, to the perception of women, this book is also a great insight into social history. In addition, the author looks into the beliefs and fears of the period in terms of burial, such as bodysnatchers and being buried alive, and how the depiction of death changed and burial traditions developed. The evidence that the graves give us for how people died, from illness to things such as accidents or murder, is also explored.With meticulous research into military graves, the author looks at the different types of military gravestones and the difference between personal graves and the Commonwealth War Graves in Britain. There is also large case study on how graves can help with our ancestors' sense of place and belonging. All of this is complemented with official documents, records, and extensive use of the national and local newspapers to show how important gravestones can be.

The list of deaths contains name of decedent, place and date of death, age at death, cause of death, marital status, birthplace, and parents' names and places of birth.
Land Records of York County, Pennsylvania, Libers C and D, 1764-1771
The land records of York County begin with the founding of the county in 1749. This book represents abstracts from Deed Book C (1764�1768) and Deed Book D (1768�1771). Future editions are planned. The county was created out of Lancaster County. At its inception it included all of present day York and Adams Counties. Adams County was established in 1800. Most of the early settlers of York County were Germans. The Scotch-Irish settlers began arriving shortly after the Germans, settling the southeastern region of the county. In many of the deeds the line of ownership reveals the relationship of parents, grandparents, spouses and others. This is especially helpful when the ancestor died without a will (intestate). The following is an excerpt from a land transaction in 1764: �... afterwards the said Nicholas Weirick died intestate leaving the afsd Elizabeth Margareta his widow and issue the afsd Katrina wife of the afsd John Flower and Elizabetha Margareta wife of George Eppler ofWoodstock, Winchester Co, VA �� An index to full-names and places adds to the value of this work.
Northampton County, Virginia Tithables, 1720-1769
Until 1976 there were only a few lists of tithables known for Northampton County, namely those for 28 August 1666, a partial list for 1742, and lists for 4 September 1665, 1664-74, and for 1674 in Order Book no. 9. Then, in 1976, a graduate student discovered, in the course of research for his thesis project, tithable lists for 1720 to 1769 in a file not open to the general public. Photocopies were made of the lists; they have since been on the open shelves in the County Courthouse. The transcriptions in this book were prepared from these lists. Where the copies were hard to read, Mr. Bell used the originals to fill in the gaps whenever possible. The tithables cover the years 1720-31, 1733-35, 1737-1744, 1765-66 and 1769. The years 1720-9, 1731 and 1737-1744 appear to be nearly complete. Most of the lists include all tithables: white and black, free and slave; however, many of the lists in the 1730s only give the names of the heads-of-households. The lists for 1723-29 are slightly more elaborate than the others; they include accounts of the number of tobacco plants, lists including boys aged ten (or twelve) to sixteen (not tithables) and distinctions between tithables "employed in the crop" and those otherwise employed.
Cushman Genealogy and General History
"Robert Cushman, the ancestor of all the Cushmans in the United States, was born in England." He was a well-known agent of the Leyden Pilgrims in England. Robert (born 1577/8-died about 1625) and his son Thomas (baptized 1607/8-died 1691) arrived from England on the Fortune at Plymouth in New England in November 1621. Robert returned to England on business a month later, leaving his son in the care of Governor Bradford. Thomas later married Mary Allerton (1610-1699) who was the last female survivor of those who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620. "From Thomas Cushman and his wife, Mary, and their descendants have come all the Cushmans in the United States; they are therefore of full blood Puritan stock, both their paternal and maternal ancestors having been among the Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth." In this work the author has "made record up to the fourteenth generation in some families, and have found so many Roberts, Thomases and Isaacs and have further noticed in some families the use of the same given-first-name through three successive generations..." The author's devotion to serious research is evident in this detailed record of the Cushman family. This book was written "in the belief that it would strengthen morale, build character, and be of more than usual worth and value to the Cushmans of the present and future." Photographs enhance the text.
