Alex/Rabid Bee - Early Modern British and European, but particularly the
Early Stuarts, British Civil Wars and Seventeenth Century France

Erik Bause - Restoration, Glorious Revolution, Nine Years War, War of
the Spanish Succession, American War of Independence.

Bev - Anything to do with the English Civil Wars (actually, anything to
do with 17th cen. England), especially the existence of 'radical' groups
(Levellers, Ranters, etc) Also Ireland (but anything may be of interest,
depends on mood!)

Russell Chaplin - Pre-history, Art-History.

Michael W Cook - Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain; Norman Conquest, 1066
before and after; Hundred Years War; The Plague; Edward III; Black
Prince; Henry V; John The Fearless - Duke of Burgundy.

Also any other topic that "looks interesting".

David Heading - 1450-1721. Political and military.

Jamie/Vaughan Sanders - Any history, my preferences at the moment would
be Viking / Saxon : Naval, especially sail : North American colonial &
US civil war : WW2 / WW1

Kareem - Edward I, War of Roses, Anything Welsh, W.W.I, W.W.II.

Kathleen -- two main periods of interest 1.) medieval (around 12th
century) to Tudor and 2.) Victorian to WWI. Also interested in Wales
and Ireland.

Bill Kautt - all Brit, Irish, Scottish, Welsh; military history esp.

Roger Lockyer - Medieval History, WWI, Weimar Republic, Teaching History
online to pupils all over the world.

Melissa or Mel - Tudor especially, WWII, useless bits of trivia from all
over the place!

Michelle - The Llewellyns, things Welsh, The War Of The Roses,
Cathedrals and castles, obscure are more fun, WWII, Robert the Bruce,
the Empress Maude, her son Henry, and King Stephen. Any other topic
that happens to catch my fancy on a given day. :)

Thomas Murphey - UK services since WWI, mainly from 70's onwards

Alec Powell - Military history (Mainly pre WWI)] Local History
(Oxfordshire). Church Architecture and War Memorials. All with a bias
towards English. (Am I allowed to say this?:-)

Rob Swigert/Vygg - Scotland (before 1860), military history (before 20th
Cent.), assorted odds and ends that happen to strike my fancy.

SurreyMan/Alan Spencer - Primarily British Empire, all periods. (Know a
reasonable bit about this, happy to answer questions - also certainly
still happy to learn!). Movement of liguistic/cultural/racial groups
resulting in today's nations (know not a lot about this, happy to
learn). Subsidiaries - African/Middle East; WWII; Canadian/USA.

Roger Whitehead ("Roger"). I'm here to learn. My only area of any
historical knowledge, and it's not deep, is ethnobotany, the study of
man and plants.

Cheers, Alex

Hi, I'm Carol,
I'd like to add my areas of interest.
I'm interested in anything to do with 17th centruy England, especially the
Glorious Revolution and the 18th century British Enlightenment.
Also the "cat and dog" cultural, and political relationship between England
and France, since 1066.
Lately interested too in the movement of the Enlightenment from Britain in
general to France, and the oh so devestatingly ironic
Voltaire!
Cheers, Carol

Is it too late to add my interest? Anything to do with the 17th century,
especially the Civil Wars, with particular reference to the life and
times of John Hampden the Patriot (1594-1643).
