Welcome

Hello to all Lincolnshire researchers. Lincs is a great county, lots of resources and friendly people; no, it isn't flat! Please feel free to start discussions, leave messages and make this group as helpful and worthwhile as I know it is capable of becoming.

Our logo is the Lincolnshire coat of arms: The wavy bend symbolises the coastline and the many waterways in the county. The ermine bend symbolises Ermine Street, a Roman road that runs through the county. The two fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of the city of Lincoln. The supporters are the so-called Lincolnshire Yellowbellies, or soldiers of the 10th Regiment of Foot.

Looks like I found a group that has knowledge and means to help with my Hunt Family, whos beginning for my line begins in the area of Navenby,Lincoln,England. I've posted the long version on Everyone has Brick Walls.
!st, are most of the sites subscription and are they exspensive? I'll give a brief synopsis: Richard Hunt b. abt 1754 d.1814 & Ann Hodson/Hudson?b. abt 1762 d. 1818 Navenby area (supposed parents of Richard R. Hunt b.1800 ) .*Richard R. married Jane Burgess 1826 Heckington. Had children b. in England: *John R. Hunt,b. 1827; Thomas,b.1828;William R. b.1830; Richard F. b. 1832;Burgess b.1836; and Mary B.b, 1838. This all occurred in the Lincolnshire vicinity. There's lots of work for me, but maybe a leg up or a direction point would really be appreciated. Shirley

Hello Carolyn,

Welcome to the group and I hope you receive some help from members. Take a look at some of the links given above as they may be helpful to you, particularly the Lincolnshire Genuki pages and the Lincs FHS website. Good luck with the research.

Hi Anne and friends, just joined your Lincolnshire genealogy site.
I am searching the Longstaff family in Laceby Lincolnshire.
John Longstaff married Mary Gunnill 1818 Laceby Linc and had 10 children born Laceby and Ulceby. My line down children were bornin Swallow, Stallingbora, Laceby, Riby, Keelby and Limber so moved about a bit. (farmers I think) Some of the names linked with my older Longstaff generations were Gunnill, Misson, Johnson, Petch, Colman, Mussbaum, Smith, Barnaby, Legg, Jackson.
I would love to hear from anyone who might have a connection.

Welcome John. Glad you had a good experience at Lincolnshire Archives. Perhaps I was one of those you met during "tea"?

Just visited the Lincolnshire Archive last month, and it was a very pleasant experience. The archivists were extremely helpful, and I met some of the local genealogical society members for a very interesting discussion during "tea". With this visit I now have visited archives in every county in Scotland, England, and Wales. It only took 25 years of visits from the States! Also many archives in Ireland - north and south.

Anne, the Briggensians site is at this link. http://www.briggensians.net/ It relates to Brigg Grammar School and Brigg Girls' School. The archve of newsletters is first class.
Comment by Anne Cole on January 10, 2010 at 5:05am
To all, if there are any useful sites for Lincolnshire FH please let me know. I have never heard of the "Old Briggensians" for example. Having no Lincolnshire ancestors myself my knowledge of these kind of sites is a little limited.
Comment by Anne Cole on January 10, 2010 at 5:03am
OK, the Lincolnshire Archives link now works. It was so long since I did the other links that I'd forgotten how to do it!

Hello Richard

I'll set about putting up more links later today. Must admit I've been a little tardy about this. Welcome to the group.
Comment by Richard Miller BROWN on January 10, 2010 at 1:21am
Hi,
The link to the Lincolnshire Archives is not working properly.

Also, a request. Can we have more links to archives put up please. I am thinking of the North East Lincolnshire site, old established school archives (eg the Briggensians), Hull's archives - although in Yorks, Hull had a huge influence on Lincolnshire.
