The Anglos Dr Jess Browning

This story is about two young adults, Jan the girl and Rog the boy, who lived in the 5th century AD. Their homes were in the low-lands of Germany near today's lower border with Denmark. It is where they grew up and lived for many years. They each belonged to one of the Germanic tribes who lived in the low-land country near the Baltic Sea. Jan was from an Anglo tribe and Rog from a Saxon tribe. Jan's tribe was formerly known as Cimmerians, Cimbri, and later both tribes were known as Celts and Teutons. Jan and Rog were childhood friends who drifted away from each other as they began to enter adulthood. Eventually, as they went onto education and employment, they lost contact with each other due to the poor communication that existed in the 5th century AD. At one point in time, they came back together without Rog recognizing that Jan was a former childhood friend even though when he asked, she gave him the same name. After an agonizing time of re-acquaintance, especially for Jan, they were able to rekindle their friendship, but a number of problems emerged: First, they had a misunderstanding about their relationship which drove them back apart; and secondly, their tribe, the Anglos, were planning to move to Britain with the Saxon tribes. Needless to say any move, especially across the water to Britain, would make communication and reconciliation much more difficult. The Anglos ended up migrating to Britain with the Saxons where some members of the tribe became part of the king's retinue in Northumbria and later near Gloucester in today's England where they have many descendant to this day. This book, "The Anglos", is the second volume of a series of short stories that helps to explain the evolution of the European Ancestors of many families that migrated to England and then America. There are a total of six short stories that are also consolidated into two books of three volumes each titled "Anatolia to Britain" and "America's Frontier." The next title, in Volume 3 of the series, is titled "Southwest England: Life and Times 1390 - 1430 AD."
