Author Stephen Hanks' painstaking 10-year research takes him back in time, not only through his own lineage, but also through the family of slaveholder Richard Eskridge, whose slaves create a paper trail on four plantations, ending up at the early 18th century plantation of Colonel George Eskridge, a Virginia attorney whom George Washington was named after. Akee Tree delivers to readers a fresh, raw, and revealing account of how four slave women--Akey, Jenny, Rose, Eliza--kept the author's family alive under 140 years under slavery until it was finally abolished and the Hanks family left Mississippi for Kansas after changing their last name. Akee Tree is not only an objective, dramatic, and interpretive family biography, but also a compelling investigative search for identity, as Stephen Hanks discovers his African ancestor's tribe. However, Akee Tree is also something more: a powerful cry for those who share the same surnames today yet who once shared the same plantations yesterday to reach out to each other.

One way to fully understand the effect that slavery and its legacy has had, and continues to have, is to look at how it began-similar to when a person trying to understand their ancestry must go back and trace the roots of where their family began. 1619 - Twenty Africanswill attempt to do both, tracing the beginning of slavery in America and having a discussion about tracing our ancestry, in the context of author Stephen Hanks' DNA test results. Hanks started out tracing two family names-and ended up examining the lineages of four genetic DNA cousins related to him. What he discovered would completely shake his whole understanding about how slavery in America was created, ultimately taking the author on a journey leading him to the events that started in the year 1619 on the shores of Virginia. Today's DNA testing is revealing that Americans have far more in common with each other than they ever could have imagined.

Worldwide there are legends of an ancient catastrophic deluge that drowned all mankind except for a few survivors. What if you could trace the ancestry of the world, starting from that global flood all the way to the beginning of New York City in 1626 - what would the record reveal? Three Brothers - 1626 explores this question. Historical religious records states the survivors of that terrible storm were three brothers - Shem, Ham, Japheth - did they really exist? If you could trace the ancestry of these three brothers - using historical evidence, ancient writings, legends, and facts - what would history show? And what could it all say, if anything, about our future as a race? Stephen Hanks - author of 1619 - Twenty Africans - takes us on another journey of mankind's ancestry, combining ancient writings, legends, historical evidence, religious records, and scientific facts including DNA. Three Brothers - 1626 will take you on a journey that will explore the genealogy of the world, the origin of Slavery in New York and Virginia, the ancestry of the indigenous in Haiti and the Americas, the rise and fall of international world powers, what Africa and China have in common, Religion's involvement in the Slave trade, and much more, including interesting anecdotes of DNA genealogy, which is now connecting millions of people to new families and cultures that were previously unknown to them. Stephen Hanks, a long-time genealogist and specialist in African American genealogy, lives in Portland, Oregon.
