The Powell Pedigree
The earliest established ancestor is William POWLE (1460?-1512?).
A "narative" pedigree showing his descendants down to 1926 is unfortunately too long to fit on this page, but the Introduction can be found >here<, and the full pedigree >here<
There are two different aspects to a Pedigeree - one is the descent from the earliest known ancestor, i.e. all known descendents. The other is the reverse - all known ancestors of a specific current or recent person.
All the (currently) known ancestors of the Rev. Professor Baden Powell are shown >here<-
