Summary note

In eighteenth-century America, genealogy was more than a simple record of family ties - it was a powerful force that shaped society. 'Lineage' delves into an era where individuals, families, and institutions meticulously documented their connections. Whether driven by personal passion or mandated by churches, local governments, and courts, these records appeared in diverse forms - from handwritten notes and account books to intricate silk threads and enduring stone carvings.
