Online Review: A very good history of a Scottish-Dutch family,
with many black and white portraits. However, the genealogical pages could
have been better, but then much of this family can be found in "Nederland's
Adelsboek".

Title: Ahnentafeln Paderborner Domherren -German-

many people. Mainly ancestorlists, portraits and coat-of-arms.
Title: The Highland Clans
Author: Moncreiffe of that Ilk & David Hicks
Published: 1967,1968,1973, 1977
Publisher: Barrie & Jenkins
ISBN: 0-214-66649-2
Description: This book is not genealogy but contains much history
as well as portraits. It can assist with genealogical details. In the front
and back cover are conjectural family trees, connecting many of the clans.
As it is only conjectural, don't use them as there are mistakes in them.
It is definitely a kind of 'coffee table' book that is worth having or
consulting.
Title: Le Grand dictionnaire historique -10
volumes-
Author: Louis Moreri
Published: 1759
Publisher: Les Libraires Associes, Paris
Rating: C
Online Review: This is a biographical dictionary that often contains
very interesting genealogical details. There are several editions of this
work, some translated into English. These editions vary in their coverage.
Moreri tends to repeat his contemporary Pere Anselme. Nevertheless, he
sometimes has
information that is otherwise not available. It should not be forgotten
he was writing biographies not genealogy, so sometimes he does not state
what we need to know. Also some of his data is questionable.
Title: The Plantagenet ancestry of King Edward
III and Queen Philippa
Author: George Andrews Moriarty 1883-1968 (main author)
Published: 1985
Publisher: Mormon Pioneer Genealogy Society, Salt Lake City
Rating: B
Online Review: Moriarty is a respected specialist in English
and European medieval genealogy. This book covers mainly royalty and nobility
of England, France, Spain and Germany. One of the difficulties is that
it is entirely handwritten. Also note that some advances have been made
since its publication
