Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Powers-Banks Ancestry: Traced in All Lines to the Remotest Date Obtainable, Charles Powers 1819-1871 and His Wife Lydia Ann Banks 1829-1919
This book is the result of studies carried on in intervals from regular occupation extending over a period of about nine years. For a long time no thought of printing occurred to the writer and when that thought was first entertained it was sup posed that the public would be only the immediate family. AS a consequence of these circumstances the work is somewhat uneven; part of it has been written rather familiarly in the first person; part of it is unaccompanied by citation of sources. Yet, though it is too much to expect where so many particular facts are gathered that there should not be error, it is confi dently asserted that pains have been taken to make the work accurate and that in the later portions of the work sources have been carefully indicated.
