British-Genealogy.com is dedicated to British family history research Family Photoloom Home Page Narrative History of England If there can be such an entity as a brief history of England, I hope I am not being too presumptuous in attempting to provide one for the general reader. To compress time and thousands of years of UK history into a readable, and I hope entertaining few chapters, is a daunting task indeed, but here at Britannia we have turned back our watches and hope to do just that. We can discover the ancient landscapes, historical monuments, Roman remains, medieval towns, Georgian squares and modern architectural wonders together in a blend of history and travel. Naturally, our study will be concerned with the lives of the men and women who contributed to the history of their great nation, for good or for ill. We will look at the great men of literature who wrote in a language that is now being understood and copied in almost every area of the world. Part 1: Prehistoric Period

Genealogy Citation Guides The rapid growth of the Internet has outstripped the pace at which citation standards have been revised to include Internet sources. So, the purpose of this page is to serve as a guideline, if preliminary, to citing genealogically related material found on the Internet. For the most part, the citation examples below are modeled after traditional citation styles. Some Helpful General Guidelines: Typically, a modern word processor program will add a hyperlink automatically to a URL once you type it into the document. Web pages are often transient in nature and material can be published and taken down, removed or edited. Printer software can also be set to print the URL and date of printing at the bottom or top of each page. If you are an Internet author, publisher or web developer, consider placing a full bibliographic citation reference at the bottom of your page to make it easier for individuals quoting your material or using it in their research to properly cite it.
- The Washington Post The tourism invasion began, in part, because of James Fenimore Cooper and his Leatherstocking Tales, Pagnamenta reports. Natty Bumppo and his fellow travelers were popular among English readers, and the stories of life on the frontier whetted the appetites of young British men who found themselves in unusual straits. In that era, the eldest son stood to inherit the family estate, while younger male siblings received allowances but few responsibilities. One of the first to make the trip was Sir William Drummond Stewart, who was particularly taken with Cooper’s 1827 novel, “The Prairie,” and its descriptions of vast herds of buffalo. Stewart spent most of six years on the Great Plains and in the Rockies, and toward the end brought along an artist to record the scenes. One of the highest-profile offenders was Sir St. Traveling the prairie was no lark of an expedition for most. But most of the aristocratic travelers had no intention of staying.

As subject coordinator, you can customise the subject by adding or removing items from the subject menu, adding and removing items from content pages, changing the default entry point, changing the colour scheme (animated guide) and/or adding a subject banner. Many subjects are taught from year to year so you may be starting with a copy of the previously taught materials inside your subject. It is important to check all material for compliance with the University's copyright obligations, as well as reviewing the relevance, availability and currency of the material, especially if adaptive release rules have been used.
