Hilborn Family Journal (1978 - 1986)

By Robin Hilborn

I published a family newsletter, Hilborn Family Journal (ISSN 0707-3836) between November 1978 (No. 1) and July 1986 (No. 27). (See contents list below.) After 27 issues and eight years the subscribers included 140 Hilborns in the U.S. and Canada (and a few other countries). Copies are archived at the National Library, Ottawa, or you may order them using the form below.

The index to the Journal, in HFJ 25, has about 4,000 entries. It list all the Hilborns ever mentioned in the first 25 editions, with birth, death and marriage dates. (HFJ was produced before the internet era, on a CP/M computer. The text was stored on eight-inch floppy discs in WordStar.)
