About This Archive

Welcome to the Lawton Family History archive.

This website has been created to preserve, celebrate, and share the rich history of our family across generations. Here you will find stories, photographs, documents, and connections that span centuries and continents.

Our family's journey began in County Cork, Ireland, where the Lawton name has deep roots stretching back through the centuries. Through immigration, perseverance, and the bonds of family, our ancestors built lives and legacies that continue to shape who we are today.

Our Mission

This archive serves as a living document of our family's heritage. Our goals are:

To Preserve: Collecting and digitizing photographs, documents, letters, and artifacts that tell the story of our ancestors.

To Connect: Helping family members discover their roots and connect with relatives they may not have known existed.

To Inspire: Sharing the stories of those who came before us, so that future generations may learn from their courage, resilience, and love.

A Note to Family Members

This website is a work in progress, lovingly maintained and continually updated as new information comes to light. If you have photographs, documents, stories, or corrections to share, please don't hesitate to reach out through our contact page.

Every piece of information, no matter how small, helps us paint a more complete picture of where we come from and who we are.

"We are the stories we tell about ourselves."
