  1. Hello Ms. Harris, could you please tell me if you will be teaching “The Romanovs and the Russian Revolution” (SCS 3467) in 2019?

    If so, very much looking forward to it!
    Michelle

    • I will not be teaching The Romanovs and The Russian Revolution in 2019 but the course may be offered in 2020!

  2. Hello Carolyn Harris
    I am trying to find out more information on Cosmo Duff Gordon. Have you heard any rumours or indeed proof that he had an illegitimate daughter in 1911? Who was my mother. We, my siblings and I were made aware of this in 2016..since then we have researched the possibility but have made some, but little definite headway.
