NOS RACINES FRANCAISES (Our French Routes)
Historians often disagree about what to regard as the beginning of The
Middle Ages. Some see it starting with the fifth century overthrow of the
Romans and others as the ninth century when Charlemagne became the ruler of
the Holy Roman Empire. Whichever beginning date is used, most agree the
Early Middle Ages yielded
to the High Middle Ages with the ascent of the Capetians to the throne in
the tenth century. In this issue Xenia Stanford examines THE DAWN OF
MEDIEVAL AND FEUDAL FRANCE http://globalgenealogy.com/gaz34.htm

ROUTES TO ROOTS
A common problem for genealogists is encountering words we do not
understand. Old documents are full of words which may have some legal
meaning, or were common at the time and unknown now. Ryan Taylor looks at
solutions to decoding those unknown words and phrases in genealogy.

ROVING REPORTERS
Almost 3 years after the lobby and letter writing campaign was launched to
demand reasonable exceptions for research purposes to the proposed Federal
Copyright legislation and; more than 2 years after the bill amending the
Copyright Act received Royal Assent, the sections of the Copyright Act which
provide
exceptions for archives, libraries, and museums (Sections 30.1, 30.2, 30.21
and 30.3) will be proclaimed in force on 1 September 1999.
