II )2 < 7-'/ < INTRODUCTION. ^/^Sn i Chronology, so in Genealogy there are certain landmarks. Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

    The United States of America Office of the Secretary of Defense Reserve Forces Policy Board Annual Report 2010 14 June 1951 The first Chairman of the Reserve Forces Policy Board, Mr. Charles H. Buford (center) is sworn in by Mr. Ralph N. Stohl, Director of Administration, Office of the Secretary of Defense (left), during a special ceremony in the office of the Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall (right) at the Pentagon The importance of adequate reserve forces to the security of the nation has been clearly demonstrated by recent world events... I am confident that the Reserve Forces Policy Board will continue to achieve the success it has demonstrated in the past. GEORGE C. MARSHALL, JUNE 13, 1951 The United States of America Office of the Secretary of Defense Reserve Forces Policy Board Annual Report Fiscal Year 2010 30 September 2010 A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled, and less than that no man shall have. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, JULY, 1903 I. Preliminary Statement Secretary of Defense, General of the Army, George C. Marshall, abolished the Civilian Components Policy Board in June, 1951 and created the Reserve Forces Policy Board. The Congress and President Harry S. Truman codified this decision in the Armed Forces Reserve Act of July 1952. The Board thus created has remained essentially the same in its mission and responsibility for nearly sixty years. The fundamental assumptions which created the RFPB, and its predecessor the CCPB, found in the National Security Act of 1947, also remain as true and relevant today.

Bush was initially compiled from two sources: The ancestry of his father, President George Bush, as printed in Gary Boyd Roberts, Ancestors of American Presidents, First Authoritative Edition [Santa Clarita, Cal.: Boyer, 1995], pp. 121-130. The ancestry of his mother, Barbara Bush, based on the unpublished work of Michael E. Pollock, [email protected]. The contribution of the undersigned consists mostly in collating and renumbering the material cited above, adding considerable information from the decennial censuses and elsewhere, and HTML-izing the results. The relationships to other persons (see the NOTES section below) are intended to be illustrative rather than exhaustive, and are taken mostly from Mr. Roberts' Notable Kin and Ancestors of American Presidents books, with extensions, where appropriate, from John Young's American Reference Genealogy and from my own, generally unpublished, research.

  • The Story of Gerd and the Von Halle Family
    Loss, Perseverance, and Triumph: The Story of Gerd and the von Halle Family Jeremy Sanford von Halle Duke University 2011 1 Introduction In kindergarten, I decided to write my last name as “Vonhalle” because it was “easier”. My father quickly corrected, “But that is not our last name.” The complex aggregation of the lower case V, the space, the upper case H, the Chicago‐ized, German‐American pronunciation (von Hall‐EE) made it extremely difficult for friends, classmates, and coaches to ever fully grasp. People called me everything from the phonetic von Hail to van Halen, names I became accustomed to answering to. Between youth athletics, school, and hearing my mother effortlessly deliver, “V as in Victor‐O‐N‐SPACE‐Capital H‐A‐L‐L‐E” to delivery restaurants, my last name, von Halle, became a part of my identity. In truth, it was not until my grandfather slipped me a little piece of knowledge that I then developed a years long obsession with my last name and my family history. When I was 10 or 11 years old, my grandfather told me the reason why the V in “von” was lower case. In Germany, my grandfather explained, von signified a type of nobility. That little tidbit, I remember, stopped me in my tracks. Was I the long lost heir to a million dollar royal fortune? Was I a Duke, Prince, or maybe even a King? I continued to interrogate my grandfather, unfortunately confirming that I was not the German version of Anastasia Romanov. Despite self‐interested beginnings, the now irrelevant piece of information actually triggered my interest in uncovering, learning, and documenting my family’s nearly 300‐year long story.

  • Simply the Best: FDR As America's Number One President Tony Mcculloch in the Words of Tina Turner's Iconic Pop Song of the 1
    Simply the Best: FDR as America’s Number One President Tony McCulloch In the words of Tina Turner’s iconic pop song of the 1980s, to be “the best” is simply to be “better than all the rest.” While this is self-evidently the case, historians and political scientists who write about the institution of the U.S. presidency are obliged to justify their preferences and to produce a more detailed set of criteria against which the best presidents can be distinguished from “the worst” or from “the average” or from “the near great.” This is no easy task but the aim of this essay is more ambitious still – to distinguish between those presidents who are universally regarded as America’s greatest chief executives – George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt – and to justify FDR’s claim to be America’s number one President.1 The starting point for this quest is the survey undertaken by Professor Iwan Morgan, Director of the U.S. Presidency Centre (USPC) at the UCL Institute of the Americas, and published in January 2011. In this survey of British experts on the U.S. presidency, FDR was placed first, Lincoln second and Washington third. This result was in contrast to similar surveys in the United States that have usually chosen Lincoln to be the greatest, with FDR and Washington jostling for second and third position. The USPC survey therefore raises three main questions which it is the purpose of this chapter to answer. Firstly, why did a survey of U.S. presidents amongst British academics lead to a different result from that usually obtained in the United States? Secondly, what criteria would it be best to use in judging the greatness or otherwise of a U.S.
