NL #58, July-August, 2008

In this issue we include the first section of a review of Cousin George English's article that appeared in the Mayflower Descendant. Titled "Ancestry and History of Philip Delano, Born Philippe de Lannoy," it was published in two parts - the 2007 Winter issue and the 2007 Summer issue. Because of the length of the first part, it was necessary to divide the first part into two sections. As a result some of the other articles intended for this issue will appear in later issues. We did include the highlights of the 2008 Reunion and Annual Membership Meeting held in Portland, Maine in June 2008, and Cousin Carol Wolf's article about Annie Edson Taylor's visit to the 2008 Reunion. As noted elsewhere, the 2009 Reunion will be held in Williamsburg, Virginia, on 20 and 21 June 2009. To view this newsletter in its entirety, click here.
