Slightly off topic, there are still Hanks [Lincoln's mother's family] in next door Macon County. I assume someone has worked on that genealogy too but while I know some of the modern Hanks I don't know any who are working on genealogy. I only mention this because the state is planning a great many events for 2009, the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. If you have good documented genealogy the archives or the library might be interested. Cheryl Rothwell
