Book Description
It is difficult to summarize all the progress the Joss/Joyce family has made in the last seven years, as is evident by the following research reports. Beginning with a small group of genealogists who specialized in the Joyce family of Rockingham and Stokes Counties, North Carolina, they were determined to break a lingering family mystery: the parents of Alexander Joyce (1720-1778) and Thomas Joyce (1722-1780). The founders of this Joyce family in early Virginia and North Carolina, the revelation of the parentage of Alexander and Thomas Joyce would forever the history of the Joyces. When it was first discovered that the two Joyce brothers had Ulster-Scots roots from County Down, Northern Ireland, and before that an ancestry to Scotland, the cultural identity of the family began to evolve. Where once it was assumed, they had origins from Galway, Ireland, like many other Joyce families, they could now specifically proclaim where Alexander and Thomas Joyce were from. This was achieved largely in-part due to the emerging science of Y-DNA, which has helped form a foundation for all successful genealogical inquiries concerning the Joss/Joyce family. Today, as a result of the research of this small band of genealogists, it planted the seeds of change, ultimately leading to the formation of the Joss/Joyce Family Association five years later. Where once the Joyce family of North Carolina was the primary focus, there is now an international community of Joss/Joyce relatives dedicated to preserving their genealogies. The genealogical reports compiled in this book contains seven years of genealogical research. Beginning when the Joss/Joyce Family Association did not exist yet in 2016, the initial research by early Joyce researchers has been preserved for future generations. This foundation is complimented by more recent reports utilizing autosomal, Y-DNA and traditional genealogical research conducted by the Joss/Joyce Family Association. In these documents, the focus shifts to the international Joss/Joyce family by addressing numerous genealogical brick walls. From investigating the Joss family of Australia and New Zealand, the Joyce family of County Armagh, Northern Ireland to discovering new Joss lineages in Scotland, the work done by new genealogists is also documented.

Book Description
When Alexander Joyce, a Scots-Irish settler, writes to his children on November 6, 1777, he is nearing his death. Now living in Guilford County, North Carolina, he is eager to tell his family about the Joyce family history. From his birth in Ballynahinch, County Down, Ireland, to his arrival in Colonial Virginia and Pennsylvania, he has much to share. Leaving Ireland during the Year of the Slaughter in 1740, Alexander survived famine, starvation, and political and religious persecution. But now, as he faces the last years of his life, he wishes to educate his relatives about the family origins from Banff, Scotland, and about his journey to the New World. And along the way, the history of early America is told through the correspondence between him and his family. From the importance of the Great Wagon Road to the American Revolution, commonplace subjects for that era are discussed.

Book Description
Joss Whedon once identified himself as an "angry, hard-line atheist" who is nevertheless "fascinated by the concept of devotion." While organized religion seems to hold no satisfactory answers for Whedon, his dedication to exploring the meanings of faith and belief can be seen in many of the characters he has created for such works as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, and Fray. This work examines a variety of Whedon's characters and discusses what can be learned from their struggles and discoveries regarding religion and belief. Part One focuses on the characters' search for purpose, revealing how Dawn, Spike, and Angel attempt to define the meaning of their lives in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel. Part Two focuses on family, examining the unconventional family dynamic in Whedon's comic book miniseries Fray and television series Firefly. Part Three centers around the concept of redemption, using Angel's Doyle, Firefly's Malcolm Reynolds and Shepherd Book, and Buffy's Faith Lehane to examine the characters' search for salvation and their own acceptance of their past actions. Finally, Part Four focuses on the harmful potential of religious zealotry, revealing the negative aspects of absolute belief through Firefly's River and Buffy's Caleb. A primary source guide follows the main text, providing the writer, director, and air date of each television episode, along with publication data for Whedon's print works, including the in-publication "Season 8" comic books for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
