Rogan Family

This blog entry is directed to the descendants of William Rogan Sr. of Lloydminster, Sask., Canada (and their spouses). There are two places on the web you should know about.

The first is my Family Tree website. Find yourself on it! And please help me by pointing out errors, or resolving doubts expressed there about the information.

The second is a Facebook Group (open only to members of the family who are on Facebook) called "Descendants of Wm Rogan Sr of Lloydminster, Sask". (You should be able to find it by doing a Group search on "Wm Rogan".) If you are a family member already on Facebook, please join the Group, and encourage others to do so.

I think of the Facebook Group as a tool for family communication, an interactive extension of the website above. One posting reaches everybody! -- that's why you need to join. Family news, plans for the next reunion, pictures and videos, announcements of marriages and births. All this, and more, is possible.

See you online! RA

Mignon Eberhart Bibliography -- the best one ever!

The popular American mystery author Mignon G. Eberhart has written dozens of novels, novelets and short stories. I have yet to see any adequate compilation of her titles, on the web or elsewhere. So I gathered my sources and created a website to provide one.

Mignon Eberhart Mystery Bibliography

This is the most comprehensive and authoritative Eberhart bibliography anywhere. In it you will find:
(a) titles and publication info (American and British) for all the novels and collections, including cross-referencing of alternative novel titles.
(b) titles of novelets and short stories, and which collections they appeared in.
(c) periodical publication, where applicable, of short stories, novelets and serialized novels, including cross-referencing of alternative titles. This info includes uncollected stories.
(d) for stories of all lengths, the geographical setting, historical period, serial characters, and date of writing (where different from date of publication.)

Mildred Davis, mystery author (not the silent film star)

The talented master of suspense, Mildred Davis, published twelve mystery novels between 1948 and 1977 (see 1st link below.) In addition, she co-authored the first published novel of her daughter, Katherine Roome, Lucifer Land. Beginning in 2006, Katherine has returned the favour by collaborating with Mildred on three new mystery novels (see 2nd link below.)

This heart-stopping photo of the elusive Mildred Davis
accompanied her Edgar Award-winning first novel,
The Room Upstairs, in 1948.


Little is known of Mildred's personal life, and what is known is not all true. She has lived with her husband and four daughters for many years in Westchester County, New York. But she prefers her private life to be just that, and so I will say no more.
