1 SOUR 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.
