Welcome!

What's this all about?
This is my little (but hopefully growing) collection of family history information about Ephraim Knowlton Hanks (b. 1826), his family, his ancestors, and genealogical info on some of my other lines as well (for lack of a better spot to put them :-).

What are you trying to do here?
My goal with this site is to host as many online documents, books, photos, and other such records as I possibly can about these lines. I feel that there is so much of this type of information available, but yet it is hidden away in microfilms and books that sit dusty on library shelves. I hope to bring as much of this wealth of information online as I can, to make it one step easier for you—the information seeker—to find and make your own copies of these records.

Who are you?
My name is Daniel Hanks. Eph Hanks is my great-grandfather.

How can I contact you?
Email would probably be a good way to start. Just send email to dhanks@hanksplace.net

I have a photo/book/document/article/link/pedigree/family group sheet/etc I would like you to put on the site. How do I get it to you?
If it's not too big, send it via email (see the address above). If it's too big to email, send me an email about it and we can arrange for some way get it here.
