• Deportation of the Prince Edward Island Acadians - (Book - Amazon.ca) : The deportation of approximately three thousand French settlers from Prince Edward Island in 1758 is a story which has been largely overshadowed by the removal of six to seven thousand Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. The research of historian Earle Lockerby has shed a great deal of new light on the deportation from Prince Edward Island--the management and implementation; the poignant personal accounts of captives; the disastrous loss of life; and the successful escape of close to 1,500 settlers who eluded their would-be captors. This book is well illustrated by portraits of the key players, maps, and excerpts of original documents. -

• The Descendants of Louis XIII - (Book - Amazon.com) : In this very detailed, liberally illustrated volume Mr. Willis has endeavored to trace out every line of descent from Louis XIII, both male and female, legitimate and illegitimate. The various Bourbon lines are organized into chapters corresponding to each country or duchy controlled by the Bourbons, and the information is presented in outline format. The author has made every attempt to include the following information about each descendant of Louis XIII: his/her date and place of birth, date and place of death, full names and titles, and dates and places of all marriages. Spouses of descendants are identified by full name and title, date and place of birth and death, parents' names, including the mother's maiden name, and additional spouses, if any. In the case of illegitimate children numbered among Louis XIII's descendants, Mr. Willis includes all children who were recognized either by the parent in question, the courts, or other family members. Besides providing a surname reference to the roughly 100,000 descendants, Mr. Willis has devised an extensive cross-referencing system to connect descendants who intermarried. The author has also included a bibliography and an appendix to the lineages, which shows the connections between Louis' descendants and other sovereign houses. In conclusion, The Descendants of Louis XIII, King of France is a stunning new contribution to the field of royal genealogy. -
