Trace a long family line through generations with careful biographical sketches and records.
History and Genealogy of the Ricks Family of America compiles concise portraits and family charts for the Ricks—Rix—descendants across generations. It draws on church records, land and court files, and personal notes to restore connections and tell readers about ancestors, where they lived, and what they did. The book highlights both male and female lines and treats marriage ties as part of the family’s story, not just a list of names.
What you’ll find inside:
- Genealogical records and biographical sketches drawn from church books and local histories
- Notes on the family’s English origins, early settlers in Massachusetts and Virginia, and later migrations
- Details about the coat of arms and the family’s historical home and church connections
- A lineage-focused approach that aims to restore lost links and reveal how relatives are connected
Ideal for descendants of the Ricks family, local historians, and genealogists seeking a well-documented reference that ties people together across centuries.
