Research Notes Admin info Download xml version print version (pdf) Read collection overview A long-time member of the English Department at the University of Albany, Barbara Rotundo was a 1942 graduate in economics at Mount Holyoke College. After the death of her husband, Joseph in 1953, Rotundo became one of the first female faculty members at Union College, and after earning a master's degree in English at Cornell University and a doctorate in American Literature from Syracuse University, she served as an associate professor of English at the University of Albany, where she founded one of the first university writing programs in the United States. Avocationally, she was a stalwart member of the Association for Gravestone Studies, helping to broaden its scope beyond its the Colonial period to include the Victorian era. Her research included the rural cemetery movement, Mount Auburn Cemetery, white bronze (zinc) markers, and ethnic folk gravestones. Her research in these fields was presented on dozens of occasions to annual meetings of AGS, the American Culture Association, and The Pioneer America Society. In 1989, after residing in Schenectady for forty-six years, she retired to Belmont, NH, where she died in December 2004. Consisting primarily of thousands of color slides (most digitized) and related research notebooks, the Rotundo collection is a major visual record of Victorian grave markers in the United States.

  • THE BEVIER FAMILY the DESCENDANTS of LOUIS BEVIER, Patentee of New Paltz, New York Compiled by KENNETH E. HASBROUCK a Revision A
    THE BEVIER FAMILY THE DESCENDANTS OF LOUIS BEVIER, Patentee of New Paltz, New York Compiled by KENNETH E. HASBROUCK A revision and continuation of "The Bevier Family", by Katherine Bevier, 1916 Published by The Huguenot Historical Society, New Paltz, New York, Inc. 1970 IN APPRECIATION This book has been delayed due to the fact that a genealogist who respects the excellent results of another person's efforts in the past, tends to be hesitant in pro­ ducing a new work, which must measure up to the standards so capably followed by Miss Katherine Bevier in 1916. However, forty-four years have par -ed, and as I worked on the manuscript, it was definitely evident that a new book would be twice the size of the original "Bevier Family", and Miss Bevier had been hampered by the advent of World War I. The members of the Bevier Family have been a constant inspiration. They have been interested and most cooperative. They have shown in many ways that they wanted a new genealogy. It would be impossible to list all of the people who have contributed material for this work. In a number of instances it has been necessary to complete lines of descent that go back to the third generation. Mrs. David Koch of Terre Haute,Indiana;Mrs. Lois Pennie Knapp of Duluth, Minnesota; Miss Annette I.

This term dates back to the early 16th century in France. It has often been used against the reformed church of France since the Protestant Reformation. The Protestant population of eastern France, in Alsace, Moselle and Montbellar, by contrast, were mostly German Lutherans. In his encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand said that on the eve of the massacre on St. Bartholomew's Day in 1572, the Huguenot community made up 10% of the French population. By 1600 it had fallen to 7-8%, and was reduced even further after the return of brutal persecution in 1685 under the decree of Louis XIV Fontainebleau. The Huguenots are believed to have been concentrated among the population in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As the Huguenots gained influence and more openly demonstrated their faith, Catholic hostility grew.
