You will have the opportunity to view many of these options in person at your first selections appointment. Prior to our meeting, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the options and write down any notes or questions that you have. You will meet with our selections team multiple times at preset time points: Our selections team will be in touch with you shortly after the acceptance of your Purchase Agreement. The purpose of this contact is to answer any questions you may have regarding the construction process and to establish a date for your first selections meeting. 1. The first opportunity to personalize your home is done with our sales team at the time of your purchase agreement. These options affect the structure of your home and/or the construction schedule. Because of this, these options cannot be added or changed after the contract has been mutually accepted. We refer to these selection items as pre-construction options (PCO’s). A list has been provided for you in your purchase contract. 2. The first selections meeting will be focused on the general selections such as: heating, plumbing fixtures, appliances, lighting fixtures, and electrical and low voltage items. We will review certain items in your Home Owner’s Manual (please bring it with you) as needed and review policies that we have regarding selections documents, payments, etc. There is a due date that must be met for these Phase- 1 selections so that we may begin the construction process. Payment, if applicable, for these selections will be due at this time. All of your selections will be made using an ongoing selections addendum that tracks revisions made to your home. We will go over this in your first meeting. Once pricing has been quoted for your selected options, you can accept or decline the document. If you elect to accept the options, we ask that you sign the document and make full payment. In order to facilitate a smooth and even schedule for the construction of your new home, selections addenda that remain unsigned or unpaid become null and void. 504 East Fairhaven Avenue, Burlington, WA 98233 phone 360.755.9021 • fax 360.755.9029 • www.landedgentry.com 3.

This meeting may be lengthy (approximately three to four hours) because we have many products from which to choose as you personalize your home to reflect your tastes and lifestyle. 4. The last meeting is to orient you to your new home when it’s finished. This meeting is typically scheduled one week prior to closing.

  • Women's Life During the Chosŏn Dynasty
    International Journal of Korean History(Vol.6, Dec.2004) 113 Women’s Life during the Chosŏn Dynasty Han Hee-sook* 1 Introduction The Chosŏn society was one in which the yangban (aristocracy) wielded tremendous power. The role of women in this society was influenced greatly by the yangban class’ attempts to establish a patriarchal family order and a Confucian-based society. For example, women were forced, in accordance with neo-Confucian ideology, to remain chaste before marriage and barred from remarrying once their husbands had passed away. As far as the marriage system was concerned, the Chosŏn era saw a move away from the old tradition of the man moving into his in-laws house following the wedding (男歸女家婚 namgwiyŏgahon), with the woman now expected to move in with her husband’s family following the marriage (親迎制度 ch΄inyŏng jedo). Moreover, wives were rigidly divided into two categories: legitimate wife (ch΄ŏ) and concubines (ch΄ŏp). This period also saw a change in the legal standing of women with regards to inheritance, as the system was altered from the practice of equal, from a gender standpoint, rights to inheritance, to one in which the eldest son became the sole inheritor. These neo-Confucianist inspired changes contributed to the strengthening of the patriarchal system during the Chosŏn era. As a result of these changes, Chosŏn women’s rights and activities became increasingly restricted. * Professor, Dept. of Korean History, Sookmyung Women’s University 114 Women’s Life during the Chosŏn Dynasty During the Chosŏn dynasty women fell into one of the following classifications: female members of the royal family such as the queen and the king’s concubines, members of the yangban class the wives of the landed gentry, commoners, the majority of which were engaged in agriculture, women in special professions such as palace women, entertainers, shamans and physicians, and women from the lowborn class (ch’ŏnin), which usually referred to the yangban’s female slaves.

  • Italian Titles of Nobility
    11/8/2020 Italian Titles of Nobility - A Concise, Accurate Guide to Nobiliary History, Tradition and Law in Italy until 1946 - Facts, no… Italian Titles of Nobility See also: Sicilian Heraldry & Nobility • Sicilian Genealogy • Books • Interview ©1997 – 2015 Louis Mendola Author's Note An article of this length can be little more than a precis. Apart from the presentation of the simplest facts, the author's intent is to provide accurate information, avoiding the bizarre ideas that color the study of the aristocracy. At best, this web page is a ready reference that offers a quick overview and a very concise bibliography; it is intended as nothing more. This page is published for the benefit of the historian, genealogist, heraldist, researcher or journalist – and all scientific freethinkers – in search of an objective, unbiased summary that does not seek (or presume) to insult their knowledge, intelligence or integrity. The study of the nobility and heraldry simply cannot exist without a sound basis in genealogical science. Genealogy is the only means of demonstrating familial lineage (ancestry), be it proven through documentation or DNA, be it aristocratic or humble. At 300 pages, the book Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry considers the subject in far greater detail over several chapters, and while its chief focus is the Kingdom of Sicily, it takes into account the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) as well. That book includes chapters dedicated to, among other things, historiography, feudal law and proof standards. Like this web page, the book (you can peruse the table of contents, index and a few pages on Amazon's site) is the kind of reference and guide the author wishes were available when he began to study these fields seriously over thirty years ago.

  • The Education and Training of Gentry Sons in Early Modern England
    Working Papers No. 128/09 The Education and Training of Gentry Sons in Early-Modern England . Patrick Wallis & Cliff Webb © Patrick Wallis, LSE Cliff Webb, Independent Scholar November 2009 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 The Education and Training of Gentry Sons in Early-Modern England* Patrick Wallis and Cliff Webb Abstract: This paper explores the education and training received by the sons of the English gentry in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Using information from the herald’s visitations of four counties, it offers quantitative evidence of the proportion of gentry children who entered university, spent time at one of the inns of court or became apprentices in London. We show that over the period there was little change in the educational destinations of gentry sons: university and apprenticeship absorbed roughly equal proportions; the inns of court slightly less. We also show that a son’s position in the birth order had a very strong influence on the kind of education he received. Eldest sons were much more likely to go to university or one of the inns of court. Younger sons were much more likely to become apprentices in London – as we show, trade clearly was an acceptable career for the gentry. There is little sign of a change in the status of different educational choices in this period. Our findings confirm some traditional assumptions about the importance of birth order and normative expectations in determining the life-courses of gentry children in the seventeenth century: historians should not over-state the autonomy of elite children in deciding their futures.

Grace Butkowski Victorian Representations of Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I The rivalry of Mary, Queen of Scots and her English cousin Elizabeth I is a storied one that has consumed both popular and historical imaginations since the two queens reigned in the sixteenth century. It is often portrayed as a tale of contrasts: on one end, Gloriana with her fabled red hair and virginity, the bastion of British culture and Protestant values, valiantly defending England against the schemes of the Spanish and their Armada. On the other side is Mary, Queen of Scots, the enchanting and seductive French-raised Catholic, whose series of tragic, murderous marriages gave birth to both the future James I of England and to schemes surrounding the English throne.

NEW INFLUENCES ON NAMING PATTERNS IN VICTORIAN BRITAIN Amy M. Hasfjord 176 Pages This thesis examines a major shift in naming patterns that occurred in Victorian Britain, roughly between 1840 and 1900, though with roots dating back to the mid-18 th century. Until approximately 1840, most new names in England that achieved wide popularity had their origins in royal and/or religious influence. The upper middle classes changed this pattern during the Victorian era by introducing a number of new names that came from popular print culture. These names are determined based on a study collecting 10,000 men’s and 10,000 women’s names from marriage announcements in the London Times. Many of these new names were inspired by the medieval revival, and that movement is treated in detail.

  • 1-History of Solomon Ancestors
    History of Solomon Ancestors Moldavia, Romania Robert S. Sherins, M.D., Pacific Palisades, California Historical Synopsis: When King Carol (Karl Hohenzollern, German Prince) was installed as King of Romania (1860), anti-Semitic laws were quickly decreed that took away the privileges of Jewish immigrants (Sudits) in Moldavia. About 1880, business licenses for “Pubs” were revoked for Jews. Our Solomon ancestors were mostly leasees of Pubs and earned their living as such. Jews faced bankruptcies after loss of those privileges. They could not own land or pubs, could not send their children to public schools, and were burdened with special “Jewish taxes.” By the 1880’s, Charelik Salomon immigrated to London and served as a shipping agent among other jobs. He migrated to Bulawayo in 1894 with Oscar Kaufman, who married Charelik’s sister. Charelik created the famous C. Salomon Company of wholesale traders in Bulawayo. Later a partnership with Oscar Kaufman was formed. Charelik brought out most of his siblings and many of the Jews from the ancestral village of Negresti, Romania, to work for him in Africa (patron – client relationship). Charelik and Oscar became immensely wealthy, but most Jews including our relatives in Central Africa were extremely poor. Charelik and his siblings were descendants of Dov Ber (Bercu sin Solomon). Our branch of the Solomon family descended from Schneer Zalman, who we believe was a brother of Dov Ber. He had twelve children with two wives, Dina Gross and Feige (surname unknown). Some of Feige’s children, Dina, Max, and AZ (Aaron Zalman) Solomon migrated to Africa and settled in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia.

  • Royal Flush Or Not? Understanding Royalty, Nobility and Gentry
    Royal Flush or Not? Understanding Royalty, Nobility and Gentry Craig L. Foster, A.G.® [email protected] Definition of Royalty and Nobility The difference between royalty and nobility is that royalty “means that they were born into their position. Therefore only the king and queen and their direct relations can be considered royalty. … Nobility is a title conferred on a person if they meet certain requirements.” “The Aristocracy of England,” http://www.aristocracyuk.co.uk/ Royalty Definition of royalty is people of royal blood or status. Ranks of Royalty – King or Queen Prince Princess The royal family includes the immediate royal heirs as well as the extended family. Many also hold noble titles such as the Duke of Cornwall, which the heir apparent to the throne, and the Duke of York, as well as the Duke of Cambridge. www.royal.gov.uk Nobility Originally, nobility grew out of the feudal warrior classes. Nobles and knights were warriors who swore allegiance to the king in exchange for land. “Peers, Peeresses and other People,” www.avictorian.com/nobility.html “…hereditary permanent rank is what most Englishmen prize above all earthly honours. It is the permanency, especially, that they value.” Beckett, The Aristocracy in England, 1660-1914, p. 92 Noble Titles and Order of Precedence – Duke Marquess Earl Viscount Baron A peer of the realm is someone who holds one or more of the above titles. The peerage is a continuation of the original baronage system which existed in feudal times. “Historically the peerage formed a tightly knit group of powerful nobles, inter-related through blood and marriage in successive generations…” Debrett’s Essential Guide to the Peerage and Wikipedia In Scots law, there are certain titles that are recognized by the Crown as almost comparable to but not quite at the level of the peerage.

  • The Wealth of the English Landed Gentry, 1870–1935*
    The wealth of the English landed gentry, 1870–1935* by Mark Rothery Abstract This article explores changing levels of unsettled personal wealth amongst the landed gentry of Devon, Hertfordshire and Lincolnshire during the period of the Agricultural Depression of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The main quantitative sources employed for this research are the National Probate Calendars. Despite problems with agricultural incomes and land values, overall levels of gentry wealth were sustained. This was a result of the diversification of wealth away from land and into other safer investments of a non-agricultural character. A final section shows how one Devon gentry family converted land into liquid investments at the end of the First World War. The highly adaptable nature of landed elites in the face of profound changes in modern society and the flexibility of relations between landed and non-landed elites have been amongst the most important findings of scholars of landed society over the past fifty years. F. M. L. Thompson and David Cannadine amongst others have shown that the aristocracy and the gentry were willing to diversify their investments into mining, railways and a range of other urban and industrial ventures as economic conditions came to permit such behaviour.1 This has contributed to more general explanations of the openness and flexibility of the British landed order during the mod- ern period. The slow and gradual decline of landed elites along with their fluid relations with new aspirants to elite society helps explain, it has been argued, the smooth and evolutionary na- ture of modernisation in Britain.
