Produktbeschreibung
Following on from Ancestral Chains DNA Part I, this work takes the reader a step further along the intrigue of the Family Tree. Viewing Victorian life through the mind-set of great-grandmother, Kate, the stage is set in a posh Georgian terrace in Lewes that serves as the Sussex Probate Office. Money matters are inevitable, but madness and attempted murder play out the scenes of life, as a large family adapt to the sudden incarceration of their father. Clockmakers, the Tolkiens and the creator of Lorna Doone in Teddington, all play their roles in the Battersby family saga. There is mischief and innuendo too, as when the early 19th century grocer from Isleworth is buried with 2 of his 3 wives; the headstone even today forming a paving stone in the church path, regularly walked over by worshippers. A search & locate mission for a great uncle lost in the Battlefield at Passchendaele in 1917 is launched; love was not lost on his finance though because his elder brother took on the cause.
Autorenporträt
In 2010, the author began passionate research into his ancestry. This followed on from previous work that had been begun by his father nearly 30 years earlier. Eventually, the combined research resulted in 8 books being published. As a collection the author refers to these as 'The Ancestral Chains Series', with each of the 8 books being centred around the life, ancestry and descendants of each of his 8 great-grandparents. The 8 books in the series are: Ancestral Chains (DNA Part I of VIII) Bishop Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part II of VIII) Battersby Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part III of VIII) Allden Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part IV of VIII) Parr Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part V of VIII) Fortune Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VI of VIII) Meers Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VII of VIII) Morgan Bloodline; Ancestral Chains (DNA Part VIII of VIII) Andrew Bloodline. This work is a collective collaboration of the 8 books rolled into one and focuses on 8 relevant stories that attempt to show the connectivity of karma passed down through our ancestral DNA chains.
