Produktbeschreibung
Fanciful stories of rags-to-riches are fascinating. Yet, when such is part & parcel of one's ancestry, it becomes real. Having known physical hardship in the back-to-backs of Birmingham, great-grandfather Allden determined never to be poor again. An inherent ability in mental arithmetic was to play a major role in the family Commission Agent business; but did the gamble pay off? The Industrial Revolution is never far away in Birmingham & the Black Country, where the Alldens played their part in firing up and arming the nation. Jockeying around was also a major pastime and a money earner for the boys. Complex family relationships also set the scene when it was better to keep Mum; but lose her they did. A fun-loving Step-Mum & private education stepped in, but did the Alldens find their middle-class roots again. From whence did they hail & why had they fallen? Ancestry is but a game of Snakes & Ladders, so did the Alldens win in the end? Also, is there more of the Allden in the author than he cares to admit?
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.
