Trustworthy Anglo-Saxon Historical Resources
Dear Readers,
For family reseachers intent on discovering if their ancestors may have played a part in the history of Anglo-Saxon England (one of the current themes in the Howard forum here), there are a number of trustworthy resources that can be consulted.But you have to know where to look...
Without question, the best place to start one's online early medieval research is Georgetown University's "Labyrinth," a pathfinder of medieval resources that will provide the researcher with quality medieval monographs, series, journals, historical references and links.As always, the best historical resources are rarely found online, but in libraries.Nonetheless, if your particular situation only allows you to go keyboarding at home instead of surfing the waves at the local genealogy library, here's the right place to click:

For those who like their history on the improbable side (seems that many of us do), to see the best of what was "mispelled," "misdated," "misunderstood," "misquoted," and simply "missed," here's a link to the Wayback Machine (remember this series,with Walter Tetley as the voice of "Sherman"?):
