is this the DNA project that has been mentioned previously? https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Han...ction=news

The Amazon reviews for Hitchcock's book were not that great, two of the seven reviews gave it one star based upon the content.

Rob mentioned in the first post that Tarbell, over the years, tried to distance herself from Hitchock's book. Tarbell later wrote a book "In the Footsteps of the Lincoln's", copyright 1928. It was later retitled "Abraham Lincoln and His Ancestors"
I am currently reading it now, and it has an interesting chapter on Nancy Lincoln.

Gene,

I have a newspaper article for a portion of "In the Footsteps of Lincoln" by Ida M. Tarbell; however, it is too large for me to add. I'll ask Roger to include it for discussion, and then comment.

Gene,

Setback! The file is too big for Roger to post as well. So, I'd rather not just comment on something others haven't seen. I'll pause to consider other options, such as making three or four files out of one; not as easy for reading, but the files would be much smaller. On the flip side it may not be worth the hassle for just a few comments. I may just revisit a question for a chapter you once asked me about from Ida's book. To be continued!
