Across Oceans, Across Time ® … Stories from the Family History & Genealogy Center … Daniel Theodore Danielsen was born on November 8, 1842 in Næstved to carpenter Niels Christian Danielsen and his wife, Johanne Kirstine Andersen. At the age of one his family moved to Copenhagen, locating near Rosenborg Castle. In later years Daniel recounted that his childhood playmates included two children of Christian IX, George – later King George I of Greece – and Alexandra, who became the wife of the future Edward VII of England. In April 1865 Daniel left his homeland for the U.S. After clerking in a grocery store in Chicago he worked his way eastward for two years, intending to return to Denmark and settle down. Upon hearing, however, that there was a need for immigrant labor in the South, he decided to investigate, and found employment at a sawmill in Edgefield (now Saluda) Co., where he settled and spent the rest of his life. In 1870 he married P. Bethany Salter, with whom he had six children: Christian, August, Johanna, Christina, Elizabeth, and John. After his first wife’s death, he married Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Davenport and Effie Wilson. The former playmate of royalty, immigrant Daniel integrated well into his new life in the post-bellum South. He became a member of the Sardis Baptist Church in 1872, later moving his membership to the West End Baptist Church in Newberry, where he served in several official capacities. He was also a member of several fraternal organizations. He farmed and was employed at several sawmills, including the Newberry Cotton Mill, where he was night watchman for 28 years until his death in 1916. On his deathbed he was allowed to name his successor, and the mill honored his choice. Although it is unknown whether he ever received any formal training, Daniel was an accomplished artist. He would often paint and draw between his watchman’s rounds, often recreating scenes with Danish or historical themes. His family history has been written by a great-grandson and can be found in the Family History & Genealogy Center..

Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918
ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

Heir of the Month: the First Year (2013-2014)
Heir of the Month: The First Year (2013-2014) www.heirstothethrone-project.net The First Year HEIR OF THE MONTH Preface A research grant awarded by the AHRC has enabled a small team of researchers at the University of St Andrews to explore the roles played by the men and women destined, one day, to inherit a crown in the workings of Europe’s monarchies in the course of the Long Nineteenth Century. In addition to the researchers directly supported by the AHRC-grant, other historians with cognate interests are actively contributing to the work of the “Heirs to the Throne Project”. They help us to generate a lively, energetic atmosphere and to reach out to as many interested audiences as we can. We are delighted to provide more information about their work on our website. One of our on-going activities in this respect is the regular Heir of the Month feature: a monthly biographically-focused essay, published online, written to appeal to wide readership with interests in historical issues, especially the history of 19th-century monarchy. Each essay draws on the current research pursued by the author, but we aim to present our findings in an accessible, thought-provoking and lively fashion. October 2014 marks a first milestone for this part of our project: we have completed a full year in our “Heir of the Month” series. In order to make these essays more easily accessible, we have collated them in the shape of a first “Royal Annual”. We hope that “our” heirs – some of them sadly forgotten – will meet with renewed interest and afford our readers both enjoyment and food for thought.

Monarchy of Great Britain Ever Since Henry VIII
Monarchy of Great Britain Ever since Henry VIII • the King is the Head of his Kingdom and the Church of England Queen Elizabeth II • The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on 20 November 2011. • Shortly after the Royal Family returned from South Africa in 1947, the Princess's engagement to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten was announced. • The couple, who had known each other for many years, were married in Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947. The event was fairly simple, as Britain was still recovering from the war, and Princess Elizabeth had to collect clothing coupons for her dress, like any other young bride. They spent their honeymoon at Broadlands, Hampshire, the home of Lord Mountbatten, and at Birkhall, Balmoral. • Lieutenant Mountbatten, now His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was the son of Prince Andrew of Greece and a great-great- grandson of Queen Victoria. The Queen has paid public tribute to her husband on several occasions, recalling his loyal support and service to the country. • They have four children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. • Prince Charles, now The Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the throne, was born in 1948, and his sister, Princess Anne, now The Princess Royal, two years later. • After Princess Elizabeth became Queen, their third child, Prince Andrew, arrived in 1960 and the fourth, Prince Edward, in 1964. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were the ﬁrst children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family. • Their grandchildren are Peter and Zara Phillips (b.

REFLECTIONS of a NATION Antigone on the Modern Greek Stage
REFLECTIONS OF A NATION Antigone on the Modern Greek Stage Andria Michael Royal Holloway, University of London Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD in Classics 2015 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Andria Michael, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Andria Michael 18 December 2015 3 Abstract This thesis is a study of performances of Sophocles’ Antigone on the modern Greek stage, their political and social resonances, their cultural contexts and their role in the formation and presentation of modern Greek national identity. It is the result of research concerning the revival of ancient Greek drama, in accordance with modern Greek theatre history as well as with the broader history of the modern Greek nation. As a play political in its essence, Antigone has been widely used as a political statement in the Greek revivals from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards. To attempt an examination and analysis of such performances covering this long period of time means to simultaneously examine the key events of the country: the liberation from Ottoman Rule, the early process of formation of the new state, the hotly disputed conflict of the Language Question, the modernist Generation of the 1930s, the Greek Civil War, the Dictatorship of 1967-1974, as well as many other significant events and movements of modern Greek history. The approach of the work is qualitative rather than quantitative. The aim is to choose the specific moments when theatre and politics cross paths, to examine the connections between artistic choices and political incentives, and to highlight the moments which eventually reveal that Antigone has been repeatedly used as a platform for political or politically charged issues, conflicts and agendas.
