Welcome

Welcome to the Hinckley/Harris Family History Website.  The site has been built for descendants of the William Vance Hinckley and Cyrus Arthur Harris families.  There are also pages for the Cole and Holcomb ancestry.  

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” —Marcus Garvey

The intent of this site is to provide a location for family members to access histories and documents that may not otherwise be available in other family history locations.  Many of the documents have been summarized, transcribed and provided by Scott Hinckley, son of William Russell Hinckley and Helen Jane Harris.  

Our family history goes beyond the names and dates we find in our tree. It’s about what makes us who we are. It’s about people with whom we can form deep connections. It’s about people who lived and breathed and suffered and triumphed. It’s about roots and branches and leaves and entire forests. It’s about all of us.

If you would like to provide any documents for this site, please use the contact button in the top menu and we will contact you and make arrangements to add your historical information.
