Although Abraham Lincoln was among seven presidents who served during the tumultuous years between the end of the Mexican War and the end of the Reconstruction era, history has not been kind to the others: Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses Grant. In contrast, history sees Abraham Lincoln as a giant in character and deeds. During his presidency, he governed brilliantly, developed the economy, liberated four million people from slavery, reunified the nation, and helped enact the Homestead Act, among other accomplishments.

Discover Your Ancestors is a UK based magazine with a focus on newcomers to family history while also offering something for the intermediate level genealogist. Largely aimed at those starting out in family history research, although our editor always ensures there is something in every edition for the more experienced family historian. Pervading the stories and expertly authored articles is the underlying theme of exploring social history – how our ancestors lived their lives. This gives context and further background knowledge to researchers as they continue their quest for that “missing” link.
