Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Genealogy of the Rix Family of America, Containing Biographical Sketches and Genealogies of Both Males and Females This genealogy is offered to the family with the knowledge that it is far short of what a good and complete history of the family should be. Some of the statistical omissions are owing to a lack of ability on the part of the author to procure them from various sources, especially from people who have failed to make reply to first, second, and third letters of inquiry even to this day. The scattering of our family into nearly every state of the Union, many moving and leaving little or no clue, has been another obstacle. The work had its inception in data left the author by his father which contained no records further back than his grandfather, but from the death of his father in 1879, to 1894, not anything was done. In 1894, the compiler commenced in earnest, and from the start search was made through various church and town records, especially of Salem, Mass., and Old Preston, Conn., where James, son of Thomas, settled in 1703. Mistakes will undoubtedly be found in the work, but they exist, not from the want of painstaking efforts to avoid them, but generally from imperfect manuscripts and contrary statements made by members of the same family. Many persons would be surprised to see the errors in their own letters, which are frequently the result, not of ignorance, but of carelessness. What is worth recording at all, is worth recording carefully and correctly. I would esteem it a favor, when mistakes are discovered, to have the corrections sent to me.
