BOOK - Sahib, the British Soldier in India, 1750 - 1914
By Richard Holmes
Sahib is a magnificent history of the British soldier in India from Clive to the end of the Empire, making full use of personal accounts of the soldiers who served in the jewel of Britain's Imperial crown. Using archive material from the India Office Library and National Army Museum, Richard Holmes not only illuminates the lives and feelings of the men who served, but also those of the women who followed them across a vast continent, bore their children, and suffered alongside them in the merciless conditions.

After almost a century, A History of Old Kinderhook remains the definitive local history of this old town which lies in the northern portion of Columbia County, New York. Originally published in 1914, the book is filled with history of the area, beginning before European arrival, and progressing through the settlement period, the impact of various wars including the American Revolution, and development of the community up to 1914. Descendants of the town's United Empire Loyalists and Patriots alike will find much valuable information in the pages of this time-proven history of the town and families of Kinderhook.

Christmas Traditions - Old and New
By: Rick Roberts
Christmas is the premier religious Holiday of the year for millions of Christians around the world. Practising Christians focus celebrations of the Holiday season on the birth of Christ. However, for most Christians and for those of other faiths, the season has also become a time to celebrate family, renewal, and the spirit of sharing. A time to reflect on our common values and to extend goodwill to others.

New Historical Atlas Promotion
In 2008-2009 we participated in a joint venture to reproduce extremely high quality historical atlases for the Ontario counties of Lanark, Lincoln & Welland, and Middlesex. Also published was an premium historical atlas for the Dominion of Canada. All include beautifully reproduced maps, many in full colour. These atlases are crammed with information about the settlement and development of the counties including maps of townships often with land holders identified by lot and concession. Many drawings of homes and individuals included.
From now until Christmas (or until 100 units of each title are sold), you will have an opportunity to acquire these beautifully handcrafted historical atlases at a significantly reduced cost.
These fine works will serve as excellent research resources, family heirlooms, and ideal Christmas gifts for the history buff in your family.

Upcoming Events
Learn about upcoming genealogy and history meetings, seminars, conferences and lectures in Canada, USA and beyond.... or submit an event* to be listed (no charge).
*Upcoming Events postings to become self-serve
A new software program is being installed into our web site soon that will enable societies and groups to advertise or edit their heritage and genealogy events on the Global Genealogy web site in real-time. Advertisements for Upcoming Events will continue to be free of charge. The primary benefit to advertisers is that it will be easier and faster for groups to add events or make changes to their postings when venue, times, or speaker changes occur. We hope to have this web site enhancement completed before the end of the year.
