Gone, but not Forgotten refers to the author's maternal lineage:
the Ankrom family. She traveled far and wide to courthouses,
cemeteries, and libraries, gathering family information. This book
goes through the tenth generation of the Ankrom family, going back
into the 1700's, when Richard and Elizabeth Ankrom were living in
Frederick County, Maryland.
I just wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed your book "Alsop's
Tables." It's great It has answered some of my questions and also
helped to correct some mistakes in our genealogy lines of research.

Jerry Alsup is a genealogist without peer. His good nature and
devotion to his craft is contagious, one might even say
"Inspiring."
The member of this family lineage are going to enjoy reading
this author's book. It is scholarly, thorough, and yet very
readable.
-Jerry W. Owen, President, Tippah Co., MS Historical and
Genealogical Society
As an avid Alsop researcher and history buff, I have found the
most valuable sources for information on this family are the books
of Jerry Alsup. He provides the family migration patterns, history,
marriages, and wonderful stories of people, and he ties them, when
appropriate, with historical events. He has the unique knack of
narration that makes me feel like I am actually there when family
events happened.

This book intervenes in debates over the significance of Diana, Princess of Wales, by offering a critical account of her status as a media icon from 1981 to the present. It outlines the historical development of representations of Diana, analyzing the ways in which she has been understood via discourses of gender, sexuality, race, economic class, the royal, national identity, and the human. The book goes on to assess the issues at stake in debates over the "meaning" of Diana, such as the gender politics of cultural icon-making and deconstruction, and conflicting notions of cultural value.

Nobility, Land and Service in Medieval Hungary is the first Western language account of medieval landholding and noble society in Hungary. Rady indicates that although all noble land was held by the ruler, a complex web of relationships still permeated the Hungarian nobility. In his discussion of the institutions of lordship, clientage and office-holding, the author draws direct parallels between medieval Hungary and its better-known Western neighbors.
