Issue 57

Bill Mac Donald has published Issue 57 of the L-Tree (linked to the right).  This issue recognizes the centenary of WWI and the place that L-ns-rys played.  If you know more from our tree who fought in the Great War, please let us know.
That war has a great and enduring impact on Canadian identity.  Did you know, for example, that many of the innovations employed by Canadian General Currie were the first move away from generals "fighting the last war" and key to ending the war.  Many of those strategies are still being used today.  British Prime Minister Lloyd George told his biographer that had the war lasted into 1919, he planned to replace Haig with Currie.

>>>> Two notes about this issue:  We are working on fixing some of the pages of this issue and will replace them soon.  A few pages show red or are missing.

>>>> Second:  Please be aware that Adobe Acrobat documents (PDF) will download the beginning of a document and allow you to read those pages while the remainder of the document is still downloading.  If the "Print" command is given before the file is completely downloaded or if you attempt to move quickly to a later page, the result will be an incomplete text.

World War I Filmography

Ancestors of many in the L-tree fought in World War One.  For those who didn't, they all knew of folks who did.  I am developing a list of films and television series that deal in some way with the war or with the veterans.  If you know of something significant that I have missed, please let me know.  Bill Mac Donald, our veteran editor, helped me with a few.  I know there are some that I have not included -- there are so many.  But if you wish the list, here it is:

World War I Lounsbury's and their ilk

If you have a relative in the wider L-Tree who served in World War I in any theater of that war, would you please send the information to Bill Mac Donald (wmacdonald kwic.com).  This is particularly important for the U.S. readers as it is much easier to track those from Canada and other parts of the Commonwealth and Empire.

Thanks,
