History of the Yi (Choson) dynasty
A dialog from the H-Asia list, November 1997
From: Lawrence Ober
Subject: Q.: history of the Yi dynasty

A simple query. I am a high school history teacher with a fascination for Asian history.

In order to organize the larger scope that perforce is part of a secondary school curriculum, the medium of genealogy of ruling families has often been helpful in keeping some order. I have collected an extensive genealogical history of the ruling "princes" of India under the British Raj, but would like to extend the survey elsewhere.

Would anyone have any suggestions regarding the history or genealogy of the Yi dynasty of Korea in the l9th and early 20th centuries?

Many thanks.
