This message board can be beneficial to all who are interested in Hinshaw/Henshaw/Hanshaw etc. family history and genealogy. (by the way, these surnames have been spelled many ways over the years, so consider these minor spelling differences to be unimportant - these variations can usually be treated as branches of the same family tree).

Before posting a query on this message board, it would be a good idea to first check the Hinshaw Family Association database to see what has already been reported - the answer to your question might already be in the database. See:
http://www.blueneptune.com/~hinshaw

If the database does not have the answer then feel free to post your queries here. You might also want to join the HFA email list - you can then send your query to all other members of the group (you might have cousins out there!).
