Review
4 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Very informativeBy D. McMasterI bought this book because I wanted to learn more about my family history. Sir John Hawkins was my 11th great grandfather. The book is very informative and has been well researched. However; there are some facts that are not clearly documented; such as; the actual date of birth and mother of Sir John's first born son.
