See what we build. Then picture your own.
Every one of these was built from a family's old documents and photos. The written history below is open to read. The family sites themselves are private, out of respect for the families, so they ask you to sign in before you look inside.
Ten centuries of one family, set down on paper.
Every Lineage site comes with a written history like this one. This family traces from the barons who forced the Magna Carta in 1215, down through a president of Harvard, the advertising man who sold America the Southwest, and a wounded Civil War major, to today. Every name is sourced.
The Lorenz Family
Five generations of the Lorenz line, from Czaraholand in lower Bavaria through Elkhart, Indiana, to a B-24 over Norfolk and a chemistry bench at Union Carbide. Written by Jim Lorenz, December 1995.
The Hindman Family
Twelve generations from Deacon Edmund Rice of Stanstead Suffolk (b. 1594, Sudbury Mass. settler 1638) through Sudbury, Westborough, Conway and Pittsfield, with a Revolutionary War patriot (Joseph Rice, DAR #A095016) and a Nova Scotia chapter (Ebenezer Rice Jr.), then into the Hindman line at La Salle Illinois by the marriage of Barbara Frances Rice (London 1912) to Boyden William Hindman, the 1945 Syracuse birth of William John 'Bill' Hindman, and his son Brant. Built from a hand-drawn Rice family tree, the William John Hindman NY birth certificate, the 1858 Ward genealogy with 1967 Edmund Rice Association supplement, WikiTree, Find a Grave, and FamilySearch persistent records K4XQ-925 and KJLF-98T.
The Barnes & Blair Family
Five generations of the Barnes and Blair lines in Clay County and Macon County, Illinois, anchored on the marriage of Georgia Hope Blair (b. 1922, d. 1991) and Leland L. 'Bud' Barnes (b. 1922, d. 1982, WWII Coast Artillery Corps veteran with four Bronze Battle Stars from Normandy through Central Europe). The Blair line walks back through Garnet Othal Blair and Margaret Angeline Zink to Stephan Blair Sr. + Martha J. Walker. The Barnes line walks back through Ora J. 'Jay' Barnes and Bessie May Glasgow Barnes to James A. Barnes + Amanda Byrnes. Most of the family is buried at Iola Cemetery, Iola, Clay County, Illinois. Hope eventually remarried Robert Deister of Decatur and is buried at Graceland Cemetery, Decatur, alongside Robert and their daughter Jill.
The Loso / Arnholm Family
Three generations of central Vermont, anchored on Robert Fred Loso Sr. (Plainfield 1927, d. 2012) and Hope A. Arnholm Loso (Barre 1925, d. 2024), married at First Presbyterian Church of Barre on Hope's twenty-fifth birthday in 1950. Hope's father Charles Arthur Arnholm Sr. was born in Copenhagen Denmark in 1891; her maternal Trombly line is the anglicized French-Canadian Tremblay. Robert's Loso paternal line crosses Lake Champlain from Beekmantown New York, with the French-Canadian Beauval maiden name confirming its origin. The lineage descends through Kathie Loso MacInnes and Barry MacInnes to Kerrie MacInnes (partner of Jason Hindman), and to her daughter Pearl Hope Hindman, named for Hope. Built from Hope's 2024 obituary, Robert's 2012 Times Argus obituary preserved on Find a Grave, and thirteen Find a Grave memorials.
