NEW 4TH EDITION
The Ancestry of Dorothea Poyntz, Wife of Rev. John Owsley
Generations 1-15 (ON CD ONLY)
The Third Edition of this popular work, Generations 1-14, was published in 1999 and was soon out of print. A serialized version appeared in the OFHS Newsletter afterwards. Now, the 15th generation has been added to the original work and all changes have been incorporated into the text, including many never before published. Unlike more extensive compilations such as The Plantagenet Ancestry and Magna Charta Ancestry by Douglas Richardson, which itself drew upon the first edition of the Ancestry, and which traces primarily the aristocratic and noble families, this 4th Edition includes lesser known lines, many yet as ancient, culled from dozens of histories dating back hundreds of years. This edition is available only on CD, in PDF format, and is fully searchable. This CD is now available for $25.00, post paid, and can be ordered from Ronny O. Bodine, 916 N. Ridge Drive, Columbus, GA 31904. Please make payment payable to Ronny O. Bodine.
