1. 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.
