The Lincoln Family
A friend of mine told me her middle name is Lincoln. It’s her father’s middle name too. I did some research and found that she descends from a long line of Lincolns. I was able to dig back to the 1500s. Her family came to the American colonies before the Mayflower! The Lincolns settled in Hingham, Massachusetts. Her family tree also includes Langer, Hobart, Stetson, Clapp and Kimball.
Vital Records
One of the discoveries I’m enjoying most are the handwritten vital records from Hingham.
