Hi,
Geoff Rasmussen awhile ago discussed creating / obtaining 'foreign'
timelines.
I posted some events that I had started to compile also. Has anyone
else created a list they would be willing to share? My interest is
particularly U.K.
The list it seems to me should have as its principal events that are
likely to have changed the lives of our ancestors. I am using the
categories of:-
Wars, particularly civil wars
Famines; there have been several well documented famines in Europe,
the last being 1816, following the Iceland eruption (it also affected
the US - the 'year without a summer')
Eruptions and earthquakes affecting the weather
Disease pandemics; the last was the 1919 influenza pandemic, but of
course there have been plagues and the black death.
Major legislation; in UK, repeal of the corn laws, abolition of slavery,
etc.
Lists of Prime Ministers and Presidents don't seem somehow to be so
relevant to our ancestors
I'm pretty well going on this, but other ideas would be most welcome,
and then they can be forwarded to Geoff.
