Ethel Diel. Handsaker Book. Langley BC, July 1988 (Ethel is the Great Granddaughter of James Handsaker and Elizabeth Virtue and the Granddaughter of their first child Elizabeth Jane Handsaker)

Ethel created this book and the Foreword reads:

"This is a history of a family. The Handsaker Family Originating in a small village in England, many centuries ago, the present desc3endants appear in Australia, Canada, England and many parts of the United States. It is a collection of genealogical data,researched over a period of 12 years, plus newspaper clippings and photos obtained from family members as well as many Public Libraries, Historical and/or Genealogical Societies.

My purpose was not to produce a polished, scholarly volume. Instead my aim was to gather and record into one book, the events, images and accomplishments in the lives of this family. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to avoid errors and omissions in transcribing dates, names and places. However, human error is possible and should this occur, I apologize I would like to thank various members of this family, who sent me an assortment of material. Whether their contributions were large or small, I am most gratefully. Therefore I dedicate this effort to all Handsakers, past and present, especially Elizabeth Jane."
