What many people do not realize is that the Irish economy was a shambles more than twenty years earlier, and that both landlords and tenants in Ireland were very concerned. http://globalgenealogy.com/gaz38.htm ENGLISH & WELSH ROOTS This issue of English and Welsh Roots welcomes guest author Michael Foster. Since publishing his ground breaking work "e Comedy of Errors"e or The Marriage Records of England and Wales, Michael has continued his study of the marriage indexes. In this article, Michael offers new examples and results that extend his published findings. This article and Michael's book should be read by everyone who has ever used the central indexes of births, marriages and deaths and those who have yet to use them. http://globalgenealogy.com/gaz38.htm NOS RACINE FRANCAISE (Our French Roots) Many accomplishments credited to King Arthur of England were either borrowed from the pre-existing habits of the tribes of Gaul or did not happen until centuries after his lifetime. Although a real King Arthur is believed to have lived in the British Isles and died in 537 AD, not many documents or histories were written at the time and none that proved he had knights, a round table or even an unfaithful wife named Guinevere. http://globalgenealogy.com/gaz38.htm ***** If you would like a personal email notification when new issues of The Global Gazette are posted, you can "subscribe" to The Global Gazette subscriber list, by sending an email to [email protected] and type "Subscribe- Global Gazette" in the subject line (without the "").
