| Lindsay Brook graduated from Wadham College,
Oxford, in 1964. He has spent most of his life in social research. He
was a Research Director at Britain’s National Centre for Social
Research, until he took early retirement in 1998. His interest
in medieval genealogy, dating from the 1960s, was stimulated by meeting
the late Charles Evans, then honorary editor
for the Harleian Society. Together they met and corresponded over many
years, mainly about Charles Evans’ project to revise Turton’s
Plantagenet Ancestry. Emerging from this collaboration was Lindsay’s
Genealogie Medioevali di Sardegna, for which he was awarded the
Prix Brant IV de Koskull 1983 by the Confédération Internationale de
Généalogie et d'Héraldique. He also edited a collection of essays as a
tribute to Charles Evans on his eightieth birthday.
He is a member of the Society of
Genealogists, and of the Council of the
Harleian Society. He was Chairman of the
Foundation for Medieval Genealogy from its incorporation in
2001 up until 2008, and remains a trustee and member of the Executive
Committee.
