Seven hundred cased photographic portraits of Civil War soldiers and sailors and their families — most of them anonymous — were donated last fall by the Liljenquist family, specifically the two boys, Jason and [...]]]></description>

There are a few sheets from Providence papers from the 1880s, and several full or nearly complete [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This has been a busy spring with little time for posting here. But one non-genealogical component of our family life has recently taken on a genealogical and historical dimension. We have just bought a new house — new to us, but built in the 1780s by a Revolutionary officer, Lieut. Col. (later Brig. Gen&#8217;l.) Thomas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Browsing somewhere online the other day, my eye jumped to a newly-published regimental history of the 10th Kentucky Infantry in the Civil War. This was the regiment of my great-great-grandfather Samuel Matlack (1815-1881), regimental quartermaster, then lieutenant and aide-de-camp on the staff of Brig. General Speed S. Fry, at Camp Nelson, Kentucky. Samuel and Mildred [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve now found confirmation of Captain (later General) William Crosbie&#8217;s place in the Anglo-Irish gentry Crosbie family which bore the swords-and-snake crest found on the pistols traditionally identified as Major Pitcairn&#8217;s (see my previous post, linked here). I had suggested that he belonged somewhere in the Ardfert Crosbie family found in Burke&#8217;s 1866 Dormant, Abeyant, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Ross Delafield (1874-1964), a scion of New York&#8217;s pre-Gilded Age oligarchy, appears to have been the man who invented the 20th-century practice of honorary grants of arms by the College of Arms for the use of Americans of English (or British) descent.
