In connection with my genealogy research, I’ve been reading a lot of history, both American and English.  I’m contemplating documenting a number of my ancestors in more detail, particularly those who lived in the 16th century.  The Tudor period stretched from 1485 with the crowning of Henry VII to 1603, the death of Elizabeth I.  A momentous century in English history.
