TAG vol. 92, no. 3 (cover dated January/April 2022, published June 2023), has gone to press and will mail shortly.

In our lead article, first-time TAG author Gregory Childs dives into French sources to trace the ancestry and career of Louisiana settler Jean Gisclard. Tweaking  the “origins” mold are articles on the nineteenth-century families of an unwed mother and her children, who migrated from London to Utah as early Latter-day Saint pioneers, and a contractor and his family, who migrated from rural Lancashire to Wisconsin. The issue also contains the long-anticipated conclusions of articles on the ancestry of early New Hampshire colonists William Wentworth (by Terry Booth) and the Sanborn brothers (by Cliff Stott). Among shorter pieces, Bart Saxbe reminds us of the “deodand,” an arguably morbid niche in the intersection of traditional Anglo-American law and culture.
