Book - Reginald Cecil Lybbe Powys-Lybbe - 1 PERI Powys-Lybbe genealogy - These are the various documents he left behing summarising his - researches. They included: - (1) His master tree of all families married by our forebears. - (2) His formal pedigree of the Powyses, in the style of Burke. - (3) His two pages of trees of various descents from medieval - royalty, including the Trotters back to the Scottish Stewarts. - (4) His trees of the recent Trotter marriages. - - Remarkably most of this has proved to be confirmed by publicly - available documents and some of it is a remarkable set of - findings. One or two errors have appeared, mainly where he got - the wrong wife as the ancestor. Perhaps only 20% of this - remains to be checked, principally the families married into by - the Trotters in the 18th and 19th centuries. - - However his besetting and frustrating fault is his almost - invariable omission of sources and similarly of dates. - - I suspect he relied heavily on Burke's Extinct Peerage, judging - by the heavily thumbed copy in APL's possession in 1999. But - there is also evidence that went to various libraries and paid - handsomely for primary documentary evidence of some 16th and - 17th century families. - - Nevertheless most of my work has been to extend and verify his - enormous efforts. He really was a serious genealogist (like - Martin but who follows the stricter regime of the last quarter - of the 20th century) and I have considerable admiration for what - he found out.
