Answer by icampbell921
articles of confederation i think

Answer by Chloe G
Declaration of Independence. Which, by the way, was written in, like, two weeks.

Answer by Randy
As with any president beginning with Washington and all since, it is the Constitution of the United States.

This is the singular document which establishes a nation.

The Declaration of Independence performs as it states, declares independence which at the time applied to the States individually.

The Articles of Confederation was a ‘confederation’ of individual States not a nation. This can be seen in the ’1783 Treaty of Peace’ as declared in Article One where each State is individually identified and declared as Free, Independent and Sovereign.

It wasn’t until the Constitution of the United States was ratified that a nation with an actual general government existed. Even here it was not a ‘fully’ sovereign general government until the end of the Civil War and the enacting of the 14th Amendment in 1868 which was validated in 1869 in the case of Texas v. White.

I’m related to Abraham Lincoln, but I need somewhere i can get proof.?
I know I’m related to Abraham Lincoln somehow, but all documents and proof have been lost. My great great grandmother, Claire Melinda Lincoln (later married John Crissman), was Abraham Lincoln’s 2nd or third cousin. My great grandfather had researched the family ties and had documents, but everything disappeared after his death. Is there anywhere where I can find information for free, or does anybody have information on this. My family has also tried contacting the Lincoln family, but they have never responded.

Answer by Max
you just did prove it

Answer by GrayPict
You can do the research and maintain the documentation and cite the sources used to determine the relationship. Start with yourself and trace back one generation at a time. Very few Family associations would provide your documentation even it they had it. These Societies believe that if you want to be a member, you will do the research and provide the proof that they require for membership.
Genealogy is the study of direct bloodline relations, the one you describe would be considered a very distant relationship and usually not one that would be accepted as a relative that would be accepted for membership in a family society.

RWWC,

has this entry

Clara Malinda LINCOLN
Birth: 9 MAR 1862 in Decatur,Illinois
Death: 10 DEC 1946 in Moberly, Randolph Cty, Missouri
Burial: Brunswick, Chariton Cty, Missouri

Marriage John Quitman CRISSMAN b: 18 MAY 1856 in Bedford Cty,Pennsylvania

If that is who you mean, you could write to him and see if he had heard of the connection.

Be warned,

1) Any family with a maiden name the same as a president has a legend of being related to same.

2) Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809.
His parents were born roughly 30 years before then, grandparents 60, great grandparents 90.

Second cousins share great grandparents, so you’d have to find birth or christening records for people whose parents were born in 1719 to prove a second cousin. That isn’t impossible, but it is a lot harder than trying to find an obituary of someone who died in 1943.

Answer by Nothingusefullearnedinschool
If you “know” you are related, then you have your proof. As famous as Lincoln was, just go to any Lincoln genealogy site and follow all of the paths until you get to you. You can start with googling “lincoln genealogy” (he was part black, you know) or go to cyndislist.com to find other sources.
