Confusing week in Beyond History...can you help me out?

[Jessi]

Can you ladies help me? We are using Beyond this year with my daughter. We just finished Week 5. So far until this week (5), our history reading was really good. She enjoyed it a lot. But then this week, the history started feeling disjointed and for lack of a better word...plain old confusing. I'll give some examples....

Days 1 & 2 we read out of Boys and Girls of Colonial Days about Love Bradford age 10 coming to Holland with Mistress Brewster while her dad was in left in prison in England. The prior week didn't mention that Goodman Bradford was imprisoned when the women and children left. In fact, Stories of the Pilgrims said Bradford was on the boat with the men who went to Holland. Love moved in with with a Dutch family and stayed behind when the rest of the pilgrims, including the Brewsters, went on to America. Finally her father joins her in Holland.

Then days 3 & 4 we moved back to Stories of the Pilgrims and Love is a baby on the ship to Holland. (This is my confusion...was Love the Brewster's baby ( I thought they only had Jonathan, Patience, and Fear) or was that Love Bradford?) And when the Pilgrim women and children get there, Bradford had already secured a place for the Brewsters to live.

Do you see where I am confused? As I was reading, I couldn't figure it out. My daughter kept asking questions because she was as confused as I and honestly I couldn't figure out how to answer her.

It seemed like it was all over and we were both confused.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I remembered that this came up a few years ago, so I did a quick search. Does this post help at all?

Thanks! I should have thought to check the history of the forums for my question.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I was a little confused about it myself and then just decided that it must have been a different Bradford. My kids didn't even pick up that it was the same last name so I didn't follow up with it because it didn't bother them at all.
