Thank you for visiting! This site was created for all those who may have an interest in the family histories of the many descendants of Edward Wilcox of Portsmouth, Rhode Island and Lincolnshire, England. Among the research projects you can learn more about in the blog posts on this site are:
Did genealogists create a phantom Daniel Wilcox who never lived? Learn more about Daniel3 Wilcox, said to be the son of Stephen2 Wilcox in the post A Mystery from 1693.
Advances in DNA testing are helping to correct previous miscalculations that were made many years ago by researchers that didn’t have the tools that are available now. Learn more about how Y-DNA testing is helping to solve the mystery of the phantom Daniel Wilcox in 1693 at the post Science & Genealogy.
Three books are scheduled to be released in 2024 that provide details about the first 3 generations of Edward1 Wilcox descendants. The books will be available for free online viewing, with the generation 1 book planned for February availability. Learn more about Book 1 and Books 2 and 3.
For those who might wonder how we are helping a lot of Wilcox individuals “find their roots” you can learn more at the post Prove (or disprove) a Theory about a Mystery from 1693.
Other posts include: A Boatload of Lincolnshire immigrants, John Wilcox of Wickford and his trading house near Roger Williams (considered by many as the founder of the colony of Rhode Island and a pioneer of religious liberty), and Wilcox Mayflower descendants from Cooke and Warren.
