Found at: http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/3316.htm This extraordinary database is the fifth in a series which contains biographies of alumni of Cambridge University in England. Compiled by J. A. Venn, a former president of Queen's College, the collection spans alumni from the university's earliest records through 1900. In this volume, the alumni with last names from P to S are included. Each biography reveals notable accomplishments, birthdate, other schooling, spouse, and important associations. Although not comprehensive, the source documents lacking, this work is a valuable tool in finding English ancestors who were students at this premier British university.
