Welcome
Hello to all Lincolnshire researchers. Lincs is a great county, lots of resources and friendly people; no, it isn't flat! Please feel free to start discussions, leave messages and make this group as helpful and worthwhile as I know it is capable of becoming.
Our logo is the Lincolnshire coat of arms: The wavy bend symbolises the coastline and the many waterways in the county. The ermine bend symbolises Ermine Street, a Roman road that runs through the county. The two fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of the city of Lincoln. The supporters are the so-called Lincolnshire Yellowbellies, or soldiers of the 10th Regiment of Foot.

Ah, you are a gallant soul, Anne, starting a Group in which you don't have a direct interest!! My ancestors annoyingly settled in the English Fens, which encroaches at least four counties including the south of Lincolnshire. In fact my surname Kisby originates from a very small village in Kesteven, Lincolnshire, called Keisby.

Not having any direct ancestors from Lincolnshire I hesitated to post anything here, but perhaps I may get the ball rolling with a couple of Lincolnshire Duncalfs.
Duncalf was my maiden name and is my One-Name Study. A certain John Duncalf, born in Cheshire in c1568 became a curate at Legsby, then at Holton Beckering, and finally vicar of Ashby Puerorum where he died in 1623. One of his sons, Hamlet Duncalf, appears in the Protestation Returns at South Ormsby, and there are many references to the family in that parish. Sadly the Civil War and Interregnum intervened, and I have been unable to tie up the odd Duncalfs who appear in Sibsey, Benniworth and even in Lincoln, although wills have been a great help. No doubt other odd events will turn up in unsearched parish registers, and I will of course be very glad to hear about these.
The other Duncalf presence is from an entirely (perhaps) different family. A certain Thomas Duncalf married at Lincoln St Paul in 1672 by Licence. He was of Beverley and his wife was of Winteringham. Thomas was in some way descended from the illustrious Duncalfs of Foxwist, near Prestbury in Cheshire, as his grandfather had the same coat of arms, but with a difference.
These then are my Lincolnshire connections. Should you ever come across this name in Lincolnshire, please be sure to let me know where and when!
