Franklin Family History

This booklet is a comprehensive genealogical study of our branch of the Franklin family. We've traced our history from Robert Franklin, born 1425 in Skipton-upon-Craven, Yorkshire, England, to 2018 U.S.A. Along the way, we've discovered rectors, deans, sheriffs, and even a president of the University of Cambridge. Most importantly, we've discovered generations of tough, smart, innovative, hardy people who, through a spirit of adventure and an unwavering sense of optimism, helped shape us to be who and what we are today, both as a family and as a country.
