Jack Smith was a prodigy of Camp X during the Second World War. Until now, his secret missions behind enemy lines remained unknown. Immerse yourself in this wartime thriller, where courage is tested and alliances are a matter of life and death. Jack's firsthand account takes you on a rollercoaster ride through covert missions and the pulse-pounding battles that shaped the outcome of the war.

This book is the product of over 35 years of research. The Mayhall ancestry flows from the Royal houses of Scotland, England and Europe to more humble farmers and explorers in the New World. As in all genealogical research, it is never finished. There are always more ancestors to find, and more stories to tell. I have always maintained that genealogy is not just reciting names and dates, but the stories that the history reveals. I hope you find as much interest exploring this book as I had in doing the research.

Memories of growing up in the American Mid-West in the early to mid-1900's. Three family members related their stories.

Berwick Upon Tweed Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of Northumberland. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of the well-known streets and famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this area throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the local history. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting Berwick Upon Tweed for the first time. Berwick Upon Tweed Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.

This is the history of Donald Keene's family down through the ages. It is a varied and fascinating history. This Keene lineage can trace its ancestry through at least two lines that came to this continent on the Mayflower. Some were very involved in the Revolution, and the Civil War, as well as served honorably in World War II, and Don served during the VietNam conflict. I have spent several years researching this line, and it is the stories and origins that make it so interesting. As in all family histories, it is not just the names and dates that make up who we are, but where we have been and where we came from.
