1 comments about Migration to South Carolina--1850 Census from England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Russia, Denmark, Sweden, And Switzerland.
  1. Mrs. Motes continues her efforts to stratify by ethnic groups the population of South Carolina at the taking of the 1850 federal census. This volume, her third based upon the 1850 census, specifies about 2,600 persons of New England or Mid-Atlantic birth who were living in South Carolina in that census year. The census enumerators found approximately 2,600 of these Yankees living in South Carolina in 1850, two-thirds of them from the Mid-Atlantic region.

    Mrs. Motes transcribed her information from thirteen reels of microfilm covering the 29 South Carolina counties in 1850. She has arranged those findings in alphabetical order by surname. Each individual is identified by age, sex, occupation, country of birth, county of residence, and household enumeration number. Individuals living in another family's household are further identified according to the name of the household head, even if a native Carolinian. The front matter to the book includes a helpful author's preface and a list of South Carolina county codes. The volume concludes with indexes to names, places, and occupation.

2 comments about A Family of Kings: The Descendants of Christian IX of Denmark.
  1. King Christian IX's children went on to illustrious futures from an undistinguished beginning. The eldest daughter, Alexandra, married (the future) King Edward VII of Great Britain. His second daughter, Dagmar, married (the future) Tsar Alexander III of Russia. His oldest son became King Frederick VIII of Denmark. His second son, William, was elected King of Greece and became King George I. Christian's descendants sat on the thrones of England, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Greece and Belgium.

    This book is based entirely on published sources, but Aronson is a skilled writer and has written a smoothly-flowing narrative. The book is intended to focus on all of Christian's children, but ends up devoting most of its attention to Alexandra and Dagmar, who are the best-documented and (in many peoples' eyes) the most interesting. This is understandable, but by the same token it is a shame that more space was not devoted to say, Thyra, the youngest daughter, who gets so little attention. Other than that, the book's main flaw is that it really has no new information or insights to add to what has already been written. But Aronson does a good job of relying on huge numbers of published sources and the book is a good read.



  2. Queen Victoria so dominated her time that the epoch is named after her. As monarch of the world's largest economic and military power, it's no surprise that her children and grandchildren married into nearly all the royal families of Europe, affecting history for generations to come.

    What's more surprising is that that the unprepossessing sovereign of a weak and relatively backwater continental kingdom achieved essentially the same feat. It's the story of this sovereign, King Christian IX of Denmark, and his family, that Theo Aronson tells in this excellent and revealing book.

    Prince Christian of Denmark was not expected to become king until a series of 'fortunate circumstances' made him heir in 1852. He succeeded to the throne in 1863. At his death in 1906, his children or grandchildren sat on the thrones of Great Britain, Russia, Norway, Greece and, of course, Denmark itself. Later generations of his descendants would add the thrones of Belgium, Spain, Romania, and Yugoslavia to the list, as well as the titular throne of Hanover. Christian's youngest son had been offered, and refused, the throne of Bulgaria.

    How Christian and his family achieved all this is just a part of Aronson's fascinating tale. Not a biography of the King himself, it is in fact a portrait of an entire family, including his daughters Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia and their children. It is also a fascinating portrait of their times, and of the impact (great in some cases, limited in others) royal families can have on their nations and governments.

    Aronson paints Christian and his family as by and large sympathetic characters. Though imbued with a deep anti-Prussianism, they also tended to be unaffected, cheerful, approachable (once or twice with tragic consequences) -- in short, very different from the stuffy and pretentious scions of some other royal houses. It was a pleasure to get to know them, and to trace their lives and influences over the decades.
