Ever wanted to understand more about your ancestor's sea travels? What was life like aboard ship for both passengers and crew, how long did the journey take, what kind of conditions could be expected and what exotic locations might they have visited along the way? Following the tried and tested routes established by cargo ships, Karen Foy describes the development of passenger travel, the changing face of the vessels used and the demand for both comfort and speed. From transportation to trade, adventure to emigration, through persecution or for pleasure, she explains the reasons behind our ancestor's desire for overseas travel and reveals the records and archives we can search to complete our own genealogical journey.

A dinner party conversation began Englishman Christopher Pope on a serious search for his ancestors. He began with the Cave family, relatives of his mother, largely because they were known to come from Nympsfield in the Cotswolds, an easy distance from his Plymouth home. A Cave family puzzle led to the discovery of a New Zealand connection, which Christopher Pope and his wife Kathy explored on several visits to the other end of the world. In the Wairarapa, north of Wellington, New Zealand's capital, they discovered Augustus William Cave, an early and prominent settler with widespread farming, horse racing and community involvements. Most intriguing about Augustus Cave, Christopher Pope's great grandfather, was his close connection with Masterton Maori and their Te Ore Ore marae. Over 100 years ago Te Ore Ore Maori presented Augustus Cave with a rare flaxen waistcoat; in 2008 Christopher Pope had the great honour of reciprocating with a gift for the marae. In England, Christopher Pope discovered another illustrious ancestor - Lord Cave, who was twice Lord Chancellor of Great Britain in governments in the 1920s and Chancellor of Oxford University.

A trip to Medieval England in search of Botsford family history For Manton Botsford, the question "Where did we come from?" sparked the journey of a lifetime, one that led him to trek through history in ancient English towns and relive life under royal rule by immersing himself in fivehundred- year-old documents. His quest: uncover Botsford family history. For genealogical researchers and history buffs, Journey to Chalgrave offers a wealth of information about Botsford family roots. Building on previously published genealogical information, this book utilizes modern researching tools to add a new chapter of discovery. Journey to Chalgrave quotes at length Chalgrave Manor court rolls, in translated Latin and Early Modern English, and analyses the source materials' findings to illustrate details of what life was like for Botsford ancestors. These documents not only give readers a glimpse of previously unknown Botsford family members, but also illuminate the roles they played in everyday life in 1500s England. Journey to Chalgrave also lifts the veil on the method of genealogical research. Along every step of his meticulous study, Manton Botsford discusses his successes and failures in tracking down ancient documents and relatives with name variations. Through his own odyssey of research, readers learn the best avenues of discovery. Whether you're a Botsford, a Bottysford, a Bottisford or a member of another clan, Journey to Chalgrave is a wonderful exploration of the family tree.

As Hawaiians continue to recover their language and culture, the voices of kupuna (elders) are heard once again in urban and rural settings, both in Hawai‘i and elsewhere. How do kupuna create knowledge and “tell” history? What do they tell us about being Hawaiian? Adopted by a Midwestern couple in the 1950s as an infant, Leilani Holmes spent much of her early life in settings that offered no clues about her Hawaiian past—images of which continued to haunt her even as she completed a master’s thesis on Hawaiian music and identity in southern California. Ancestry of Experience documents Holmes’ quest to reclaim and understand her own origin story. Holmes writes in two different and at times incongruent voices—one describing the search for her genealogy, the other critiquing Western epistemologies she encounters along the way. In the course of her journey, she finds that Hawaiian oral tradition links identity to the land (‘aina) through ancestry, while traditional, scholarly theories of knowing (particularly political economy and the discourse of the invention of tradition) textually obliterate land and ancestry. In interviews with kupuna, Holmes learns of the connectedness of spirituality and ‘aina; through her study and practice of hula kahiko comes an understanding of ancient hula as a conversation between ‘aina and the dancer’s body that has the power to activate historical memory. Holmes’ experience has special relevance for indigenous adoptees and indigenous scholars: Both are distanced from the knowledge agendas and strategies of their communities and are tasked to speak in languages ill-suited to the telling of their own stories and those of their ancestors. In addition to those with an interest in Hawaiian knowledge and culture, Ancestry of Experience will appeal to readers of memoirs of identity, academic and personal accounts of racial identity formation, and works of indigenous epistemologies.

The idea of a hidden refuge, a paradise far from the stresses of modern life, has universal appeal. In 1932 the writer James Hilton coined the word 'Shangri-La' to describe such a place, when he gave that name to a hidden valley in the Himalayas in his novel LOST HORIZON. In THE SEARCH FOR SHANGRI-LA acclaimed traveller and writer Charles Allen explores the myth behind the story. He tracks down the sources that Hilton drew upon in writing his popular romance, and then sets out to discover what lies behind the legend that inspired him. In the course of a lively and amusing account of his four journeys into Tibet, Allen also gives us a controversial new reading of the country's early history, shattering our notions of Tibet as a Buddhist paradise and restoring the mysterious pre-Buddhist religion of Bon to its rightful place in Tibetan culture. He also locates the lost kingdom of Shang-shung and, in doing so, the original Shangri-La itself: in an astounding gorge beyond the Himalayas, full of extraordinary ruins.

Looking back 300 years, this gripping novel is based on the true story of the author's African ancestors. The story opens aboard a late 18th-century slave ship bound from West Africa to Jamaica, where a terrified young boy is cared for by Ami, a fellow captive, who becomes his surrogate mother during their nightmare voyage. They are sold to separate owners upon arrival at the docks in Kingston, but their lives remain intertwined. The boy, who is named August by his new master, grows up and marries Ami's daughter, Sarah, and the story of their lives--and their children's lives--climaxes with a dramatic struggle for emancipation during Jamaica's 1883 slave rebellion.
