This is the epic story which traces a family in the USA from the year 1607 to today. Their tale will be shared through the medium of short stories of American historical fiction and creative nonfiction. The family is mine, by the way. Hence, this is a true story. (I will share some thoughts and tips on how to do your family tree as well.)

The Lost Colony of Roanoke
Stay tuned. I will keep adding information here.
The Lost Colony of Roanoke is also known as Roanoke Colony.
The Roanoke Colony was located on Roanoke Island in today's Dare County, North Carolina in the States.

This was an attempt by Queen Elizabeth I establish a permanent English colony in America.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert (see) was the one who originally organized and financed this venture. Then, his half-brother Sir Walter Raleigh took over the charter from the queen. Raleigh then assigned Sir Richard Grenville (his distant cousin) and Ralph Lane as his delegates.
The Roanoke Colony was founded by Sir Walter Raleigh or Ralegh.
MORE TO COME.

I think you need to share more about Ronoake County instead of link or both
ReplyDeleteGood day. I will most certainly be writing a great deal about the Roanoke Colony. No worries. The links are to help you research it on your own until then, and are also to help you see it so when I do add more here, it will be a great deal more real to you. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteAs I said in the very top righthand corner of this blog, it is a work in progress. Everything mentioned here is only a partial of what I am will share over time. Unfortunately, I am limited with time and am trying to get the major facts written down first. Then, I will share more.
Does this make sense?
This is a work in progress. Stay tuned. It will take me years, decades even, to do the extensive work it will require to include as much information as I can. So, keep checking back. You never know when I might add information or to which post.
Have a blessed day.
