NL #49, July-August 2005

This issue of Bonnes Nouvelles begins with a description of the dedication of the Philip Delano Memorial Marker on the grounds of the Ellison High School in Duxbury, Massachusetts on June 17, 2005. A description of the 2005 reunion, held at the Radisson Hotel Plymouth Harbor in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was followed by a summary of the 2005 Annual Meeting. Presented in this issue is a wonderful discussion of "Some Delano Questions," part one of a two-part series of TAG articles (The American Genealogist) by Kerry William Bate. Part two, "Some Delano Answers," will be published in a future issue of Bonnes Nouvelles. These articles focus on Philippe and his family before he sailed to America and address a number of errors and inconsistencies in the GHAAHD. There is a wealth of good information in this article. A description of what differentiates a "Primary Genealogical Information Source" from a "Secondary Genealogical Information Source" and an "Internet Source" provides valuable insight into what genealogists consider to be reliable sources. These sources are discussed in the context of the Bate's "Question" and "Answer" articles. To view this newsletter in its entirety, click here.
