Purpose
The
purpose of this website is to display the information I have gathered
during the research of my particular Powers family branch.
This site will focus exclusively upon the Powers surname and its
variants pertaining to my research. At the present time, I am
at
an impasse regarding the parents of Michael
Powers who was born in 1727 in Ireland and died in 1807 in New London,
Connecticut. During the course of this project I will add
information for the
various as yet non-related Powers family lines for which I have
gathered
information in order to attempt to further my own
research. Eventually, most of the Powers family trees have to come
together and
it is up to us as researchers to share our information in order to find
the missing link that may reveal our hidden ancestors. It is
only
with the help of fellow researchers like Clarice
Tucker that I
have been able to accumulate the information I have. If you
have information that could aid me in my research, by all means contact
me via e-mail.
Family Trees & Documents
The
links below are to trees in my Rootsweb.com file (offsite) that are mainly from the Connecticut and Rhode
Island
areas. Some, however, are early historical Powers family
trees from England and Ireland. Many of the people have
extensive
notes that contain all of my research findings including land
transactions, wills, and obituaries. Feel free to explore
them
thoroughly and if you have information to add, let me know. Rootsweb.com
specifies 1930 as the year after which people without death dates are
considered living. These people will be marked with Living as a
first name in the online file. If you desire more information
about one of these individuals,
email
me. Several of the documents below require the use of
