Rather than being a precise genealogical resource, this historical CD is perfect for adding context to your forebears in Lincoln.

The first-person guide covers the entire county of Lincolnshire, giving a description of all the areas before examining the city in more detail.

The churches and antiquities, such as the castle and Roman arch, are the main point of focus, but there's also mention of inns, schools and most importantly streets, to help you delve into your ancestral neighbourhoods.
