This is the fifth in a series which will, I hope, eventually list every Whiteoak individual and family who have ever appeared in the British census, from 1841 to 1911.
The years 1841, 1851, 1861,... More > 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 have all now been published as e-Books; there may also be a paperback edition one day which will contain the complete set, if this would be useful.
I am doing my best to correct errors and omissions as I go along. If you are looking for a relative in 1881, this list of households with at least one Whiteoak resident is as nearly complete as I can make it for now.
Please note that these little books DO NOT contain the census images - only household lists, with my own corrections, notes and additions. However I hope they will make it easier for you to trace your ancestors, and buy the images from the usual sources should you want them. Happy hunting!< Less

George Benedict's writings on boxing are some of the most widespread and profusely illustrated of their kind in the late 19th century.
In addition to his ability as an illustrator (he created all of... More > the diagrams himself), Benedict was a talented athlete. He held the amateur middleweight boxing championship of the West, the club-swinging championship of the West, and was knowledgeable in a wide variety of different sports--from caber-tossing to gymnastics.

The New Haven Yacht Club was established in a Chapel Street bank building at the Northwest corner of State Street in 1881, making it one of the oldest chartered yacht clubs in the country. The first... More > clubhouse was originally located at the end of a 1,100 foot pier off Water Street (near the foot of Franklin Street) in New Haven. At the turn of the century the building was moved a short distance eastward to the rear of the Sargent Company pier. During its heyday the NHYC was host to many nationally renowned yachting squadrons including the New York Yacht Club during its annual tri-cornered regatta on Long Island Sound.
The club moved to Morris Cove in 1903, where it occupied several locations until 1943, when, some say because of damage from the 1938 hurricane and the intervening war years, along with the passing of its generous founders, it closed. The revival of the present Club developed one Sunday afternoon in February 1967 in Morris Cove, where it has continued to operate until the present day.< Less
This is a reprint of the biography of Sgt. James Gillett of Company A, Frontier Battalion of the famous Texas Rangers. Fascinating detail of what it was really like in the old West.
Under Georgia’s judicial system, whites and blacks appear to be treated similarly. In truth, a disjointed legal system formed when a number of legal restrictions were passed that only applied... More > to free blacks and slaves.< Less
