Featured Content
- Hanksplace Wiki

A collaboratively edited website, where anyone can add pages and content. I hope to migrate all the Hanksplace content to the wiki.

- Press

Books available for purchase.

- Research Blog

I keep an online log of some of the research I'm doing (the stuff you see in the main section of the front page).

- Ephraim K. Hanks

Apsiring to be the definitive point online about Eph and his family.

- Jane Mariah Capener Giles

I put together a page about the final resting place of Jane, with several photos from a visit I made there.

- Library

A collection of histories, books, documents and more digitized and freely available for all to enjoy. Still somewhat nascent.

- Raw Data

Raw image files I've uploaded but which I haven't had time yet to organize or put on the wiki. Some good stuff there.

- The old hanksplace.net

Little by little most of the old content will be migrated to this new version of the site

GEDCOMS
WorldConnect DB: A while back I uploaded a GEDCOM to Rootsweb's WorldConnect that provides much of the ancestry covered by this site. It's useful as a starting point, but (sadly) is mostly undocumented. The main goal of this site is to document those lines.

Thank you for taking the time to research this. After reading about EKH's life I was curious about his life at sea, where he went and what the ship would have looked like.
