WIL(L)BANKS Family History and Genealogy |
|
The following are links to websites specific to Wil(l)banks research and genealogy. I am also including the best recommended free and easy genealogy websites for overall genealogy research. There are some pay websites, but I am not providing that information here. In many cases those can be found accessible from your local area library.
This is an all encompassing Wilbanks-Willbanks web site, dedicated as a resource for those researching this family's history and genealogy. This web site is created and maintained by Barbara Caramba-Coker of Oakland, California, and has a wealth of Wil(l)banks information, including links to other Wilbanks sites and message boards. Barbara is also the host of the Wilbanks-L Mailing List. Definitely go to this site to learn how to sign up for the mailing list and begin posting messages.
L.D. Pierce, of Dallas, Texas, has created an extensive web site regarding the Pierce family history, with a wealth of information on the family of Gardner Wilbanks of South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. While the focus is on the family and descendants of Allen Mansel Wilbanks, son of Gardner, who married Rhoda Pierce, any descendants of Gardner Wilbanks will definitely want to visit this web site. There is also a wealth of information on Gardner's ancestry, including his father Marshall Wilbanks, and his father William Woolbanks-Wilbanks, the Revolutionary War soldier of Union County, South Carolina who was married to Abarilla Gos(t)wick. Willbanks information can be found on the main page, as well as the Wilbanks Family Genealogy page. Adobe Acrobat is required to read most of the information on this web site.
David A. Wilbanks, of Arlington, Texas, has also created a wonderful web site dedicated to the family of Gardner Wilbanks, including information regarding his father Marshall, and grandfather William. There is a beautiful Wilbanks timeline, along with Wilbanks genealogy information, history of Johnson County, and much more. He has even recently collected and added information on other Wilbanks families that settled in and around Johnson County.
Keuttah "Kay" (Goswick) Kennemore is noted as the Gos(t)wick family historian, having written a book on this family in 1986. Her continuing research on this family has created one of the most thorough, complete and well researched genealogies that I have seen. Anyone descended from William Woolbanks-Wilbanks, the Revolutionary War soldier of Union County, South Carolina, and his wife Abarilla Gos(t)wick, absolutely must visit this web site. This line goes back to 1670 in Baltimore County, Maryland, and beyond.
