Preface to Lincoln County Cousins

A Wise Thought or Two with some Fun thrown in.

Manzano, Where many of our families came from Some background and pictures.

Some People of Early Lincoln County
This includes the Family Worksheets; stories of people and families; some tools to help you in your quest; my spreadsheets of various Census' extracts; photos I've collected; and more.

Places of early Lincoln County
I've separated early Lincoln County into 20 or so units or areas to make things more manageable.

Maps reguarding the Beginings
There are a few maps that I feel are important to understanding early Lincoln County; the Bureau of Land Management Survey, Plat Maps (the earliest I could find); and some other goodies.

Special Projects
Over the years I have put together some special projects trying to consolidate various topics, they are not consistent in content but they may be of interest. Maybe we will come up with more, especially if you are interested.
