Goals

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the Lewin surname and the variants of that name (Lawing, Lewing, etc.). The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect.

Task List

1) The Lawings posted here will be descendants of William Lawing of Anson/Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Hopefully, others of the surname, particularly the variant Lewing found in Louisiana and Texas among other states), will be included.

2) Research and create profiles of the surname and variants in the United States, England, and throughout the world.

3) Connect Lewin families to each other and to our Shared Tree.

4) Properly source all profiles connected to the Lewin Name Study.
