    Duke Riley is creating a project called Reclaiming the Lost Kingdom of Laird focused on the tiny yet contentious island known as Petty’s Island. Utilizing the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s records, Riley created facsimiles of documents related to the sovereignty of Petty’s Island. Using genealogical records, Riley tracked down Laird descendents still residing in the Philadelphia area to determine the proper heir or heiress to the Laird throne.Items from Riley’s project—including artifacts excavated from the island, a handmade Laird kingdom flag, a Laird family tree, and video and photo documentation—will be on display at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania during the Philagrafika 2010 festival.Duke Riley, Reclaiming the Lost Kingdom of Laird.
