SALTONSTALL OF SALTONSTALL

Legg inn av David Hepworth » 03 feb 2006 12:25:58

I notice that a number of postings have included the American
Saltonstall family who descended from Saltonstall of Saltonstall in
Warley Township, Halifax, UK.

Does anyone know of any comprehensive genealogical work that is
reliable on the early history of the family up to the time of the
American branch spurring off?

If you would be so kind as to provide details I would be very grateful.

Best wishes to all

Gosh, I hate 'UK'. I live in England and that is where this Halifax is,
much as some would regard its country to be Yorkshire.

The online FHL catalog lists a couple of genealogies of the Saltonstall
family that might be worth looking into. I've seen one of them at another
library. It is "Ancestry and Descendants of Sir Richard Saltonstall",
published [privately in 1897 by Leverett Saltonstall. This title appears to
be on film and thus should be available for loan to a local FHC.

Thanks for that lead - I was beginning to think I'd posted on the wrong
group!!! LOL Let me say Saltonstall of Saltonstall, Warley, Halifax,
God's Own County, England!!! As for "comprehensive" being inverse to
"reliable" - with the records that we have over here, it is not always
the case as one goes up the other goes down - there's been some amazing
material processed on here and whilst it may have to be tweaked as more
comes to light - that usually enhances things. If we all only had the
time and money to spend working at it full time

I have a copy of the book that Tim Powys-Lybbe mentioned and it appears
to me, living in this dis-united Kingdom, that is is somewhat better
than the average family history; though the pre-American bit is only
about 5% of the whole. PM me is you want me to look something up.
