Genetic Lincoln

[RJNorton]

I am sharing an email I received today:

Hello,

My name is Suzanne Hallstrom, administrator of the Hanks DNA Project at FTDNA where the results of the Nancy Hanks Lincoln mtDNA Study were announced in 2015. A new website, Genetic Lincoln has just been launched to expand our knowledge of the genetic ancestry of Abraham Lincoln.

The website will include additional detailed information about the Nancy Hanks Lincoln mtDNA Study, as well as a discussion of the results of Y chromosome testing of paternally-linked Hanks participants. Descendants of Abraham Lincoln’s extended maternal family are being encouraged to participate in autosomal DNA studies.

Genetic Lincoln will maintain a comprehensive repository of factual, fully footnoted Hanks (and related families) research reports for the free, non-profit use of our readers.

Although some sections of the website are still under construction, I decided to go ahead and launch early so our readers can help it grow. All comments and questions are welcome.

Suzanne W Hallstrom
