1. This appears to be a useful book if you want to do research in the UK. I was looking for US United States genealogy references. There is not enough detail to make it clear that this is only United Kingdom information.

2 comments about Ann Of Cleves: Fourth Wife of Henry VIII.

1. This book pulls together a good amount of information about the life of Henry VIII's most neglected queen, Anne of Cleves. The chapters on her life following her divorce are especially interesting. Saaler, however, spends a fair amount of space contrasting Henry's divorce from Anne to his divorce from Catherine of Aragon, and it is here that she makes a number of mistakes. She makes numerous references to Emperor Charles V being Catherine's uncle, when he was actually her nephew. She also states that Catherine was precontracted to Henry's brother Arthur, but that they were never married. They did in fact marry, and the entire divorce question turned on whether or not that marriage had ever been consumated. These may not be grave errors, but they do tend to detract from Saaler's credibility for the reader who well-versed in Tudor history.



2. Ms. Saaler tells us that Catherine of Aragon did not mind being divorced- had no problem with being put aside by Henry VIII. Not true! If this error is any indication of Ms. Saalor's research, then the entire book needs to be read with a huge grain of salt. Very disappointing.

1. This is a must for genealogists. In fact that is where I got the information that such a book was available. It is interesting reading and you really get a background for the occupations and lifestyles of the Yorkshire people.

2 comments about A Genealogical Register of the First Settlers of New England, 1620-1675 With.

1. JOHN FARMER... author or GENEALOGICAL REGISTER OF THE FIRST SETTLERS OF NEW ENGLAND as chartered by King William and Queen Mary October 7, 1691 ....purges every available ship's log and colonial document in existence on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Both European and American registers are used to develop the long lists printed in small lettering that provide a twenty-first century look at the anals of our fathers forefathers. Critical dates originate at 1600 and includes a list of FREEMEN admitted to this continent from 1630 to 1662. towns included are in Massecheusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

   .... example of listing:

   "ESTABROOK, Joseph, minister of Concord, was born in Enfield, in Midlesex, England and came to N.E. a. 1660, with two brothers, one of whom, Thomas, lived in Swanzey and Concord."

   The book could serve the otherwise absent needs of any family seeking it origins in AMERICA from the European continent.

2. I purchased the GENEALOGICAL REGISTER on my interlude to researchig my own family background as part of a FAMILY REUNION project initiated in JUNE 1992. The Witherspoon family and the Jemison family determined in that year, almost 30 years after the first family reunion of Bertha Witherspoon's family, to begin a more indepth study of how we came to exist in the United States of America. The book is in and of itself a critical foundation to any genealogist or researcher of sociological history as a starting point from which to trail the development of populations in this nation. It orients NEW ENGLAND as the origination of documented arrival for traveler's from England. The pages are an exact duplicate of museum materials.
