The Early Flemish Painters

Pages : 460
Book Description
Excerpt from The Early Flemish Painters: Notices of Their Tibes and Works Descamps, in 1753, wrote afresh the lives of these painters. He did not, however, add much that was new. On the contrary, he confused a history which was already sufficiently obscure. He failed to discover the error of Van Mander, who made two painters out of the old Roger Van der Weyden and he changed the name of Memling to Hemmelinck, thereby laying the foundation of much subsequent controversy. Having visited Bruges and seen the pictures of the hospital, he sought to repair the neglect of history by writing a legend. Thus altered and falsified, the history of early Flemish art remained for some time, not forgotten, it is true, but still obscure.

In Search of Scottish Ancestry

Pages : 252
Book Description
This has been the standard guide for Scottish family historians since its first publication, in 1972, and has enjoyed enormous success throughout the English-speaking (and Scots-populated) world. After a corrected reprint in 1979, it now appears in an enlarged format in a new edition that takes account of the latest information and more than a decade of readers' comments. It takes the reader from the time when he is first led by curiosity to make enquiries of aged aunts and uncles to the time when he is far back in the centuries, immersed in an absorbing and often lifetime hobby. For people of Scots descent, whether still at home in Scotland or abroad, in the rest of the British Isles or dominions or in the U.S.A., this is the most useful, the most readable and the most comprehensive guide to the methods and the peculiar problems (and fortunate advantages) of the seeker of Scottish ancestry or family history. The book is also invaluable to historians, biographers, sociologists and all others who make use of Scottish archives. Book jacket.

Book Description
Whether building a family tree or simply researching the history of their ancestors, people of Irish heritage will find the means to track down elusive family records and relatives in this detailed and practical handbook. Throughout history, genealogy has been highly valued by the Celtic people. The heads of Irish families often could enumerate their ancestors far back to times of legend, to Conn of the Hundred Battles, or to Queen Medb herself. Ancestor-hunting is particularly important to the descendants of those who left Ireland during the great emigration of the 19th and 20th centuries. Here those descendants will learn how to undertake a genealogical search and develop it as far as possible using parish registers, census returns, gravestone inscriptions, newspapers, and birth, death, and marriage certificates. From finding family information online to tracking down public records, the methods revealed in this resource help sort through all the genealogical information available.
