This book is a compendium of sources, bibliographies, lineage and
ancestry charts, as well as Internet-based data resources. It will
never be complete. I am hoping to add more data and family
information over the next few years, as I come across it, and
welcome any new data from new sources or family members.
Descendants of Pocahontas and John Rolfe have become one of the
most vitally involved First Families of Virginia (FFV) in the
history of the United States. The family, and the families into
which they have married, include local, state, national, and
international political arenas. Descendants were judges, members of
the Continental Congress, United States and State Senators and
Representatives, and were members of families by blood or marriage
to numerous Presidents of the United States. Family men were
involved in practically every battle and war in United States
history, and ranks ranged from infantryman up to Captains,
Colonels, Majors, and Commodores, as well as serving on both sides
of the Civil War. Family members have served in the United States
Senate and House of Representatives, as state Governors, as well as
diplomats to foreign countries, including Russia. The descendants
or their spouses have served as doctors, scholars, church leaders,
college presidents, founders of fraternal organizations, as well as
married into descendants of European royalty.

John Plunkett presents the first history of the interaction between the monarchy and the media to focus on the reign of Queen Victoria. He argues that the development of popular print and visual media in the nineteenth century helped to reinvent the position of the monarchy in national life, and includes a detailed account of the emergence of royal journalism and the impact of new media such as photography.
This book is an exact transcription from the 1880 Census schedules
of Bledsoe County, Tennessee, household by household. The names and
ages of all identified family members are included. Other household
members of a different surname are also listed, as well as the

Harold Godwineson was king of England from January 1066 until his
death at Hastings on 14th October of that year. Although he was not
the only candidate for the succession to the childless King Edward
the Confessor, Harold had a far stronger claim than William of
Normandy to the throne. For much of the reign of Edward the
Confessor, who was married to Harold's sister Edith, the Godwine
family, led by Earl Godwine, had dominated English politics. In The
House of Godwine Emma Mason tells the turbulent story of a
remarkable family which, until Harold's unexpected defeat, looked
far more likely than the dukes of Normandy to provide the long-term
rulers of England. But for the Norman conquest, an Anglo-Saxon
England ruled by the Godwine dynasty would have developed very
differntly from that dominated by the Normans.
