The major purpose of the Hinshaw Family Association is to collect and share the work of many dedicated researchers who, individually have perhaps researched only a portion of the Hinshaw/Henshaw lineage, but together we collectively hope to be able to record the entire Hinshaw/Henshaw lineage!

Our goal is to eventually donate all collected research to genealogy libraries for posterity so that one of your descendents 100 years from now will be able to benefit from the work of today's researchers.

Our membership requirements are very simple: Please contribute your research! We ask all those who make use of our database to always inform us of any suspected errors, and to contribute any additional significant information that would benefit others.

Joining the Hinshaw Family Association automatically subscribes you to our email discussion group. You may join by simply sending email as follows:

Sorry, but I have a life and don't have time to produce a newsletter. Are there any volunteers out there? Actually, our email list essentially serves the same purpose as a newsletter.

Sorry, but our annual all-expenses-paid convention on Maui has been cancelled this year. Try again next year.
