Genealogy Research Resources

Our vision is to provide an enjoyable and informative website that allows you to add your ancestors' life events where they happened and to be able to share that knowledge in a secure and collaborative environment. Over time, as more and more people add their data, Ancestral Atlas will be a site for not only creating a visual data base of your family tree maps (your own Ancestral Atlas) but also a primary source for continued research into your family's history.

This article provides historical and genealogy information regarding these homes.

The Conquest of the Old Southwest; the romantic story of the early pioneers into Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, 1740-1790 This book is also available in Google Books

Walter Besant was a novelist and historian, and his topographical and historical writings, ranging from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century, were probably best known through the detailed 10-volume Survey of London published after his death. This earlier single volume covers, in less depth, the whole period from prehistory until the 19th century. The book appears originally to have been written for boys, and, indeed, the chapters are called "Lessons". However, it is a very readable history and provides a fascinating insight into both London's past and the government of the City at the time the book was written (1894). (Summary by Ruth Golding) - from Librivox.org review of the audio version. Also available on Google Books.

"Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data for the free use of all researchers. We've just completed our THIRD YEAR of providing data for states other than Illinois and we're very grateful for the wonderful words of encouragement we've received from researchers. We are also pleased to welcome our new hosts, who have joined our original Illinois volunteers in bringing free transcribed data for you to view on our websites. ll counties within all the states are now online with websites of their own, and we will be working hard to start filling those sites with newly transcribed data."

This is major: a Federal District Court in Colorado has held unconstitutional a portion of the Copyright Act, holding that 17 U.S.C. §104A, which restored copyright in certain foreign works that had previously fallen into the public domain, cannot survive First Amendment scrutiny. The government defended the statute by arguing that such restoration was required by Article 18 of the Berne Convention, the international copyright treaty that the US joined in 1988, but the court in Golan v. Holder today held that the First Amendment trumps such treaty obligations, and that the statute impermissibly interferes with the free speech rights of the plaintiffs, "artisans and businesses that rely upon works in the public domain for their trade."
