Every exported claim about this person: what it says, how strong its best source is (tier 1 = original record image, 5 = unsourced lead), its review state, and the sources that carry it. Source links open the workings page for that citation.
| Claim | Predicate | Summary | Status | Tier | Review | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
claim:abraham-lincoln:name:1 | name | Abraham Lincoln Two National Park Service profiles state his identity and parentage directly. The separate relationship chain to Michael is published as supported research, not as part of Lincoln's identity claim or as a fully confirmed pedigree. | confirmed | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |
|
claim:abraham-lincoln:living-status:1 | living-status | deceased Deceased: the National Park Service profile gives his death on April 15, 1865. The separate likely cousin relationship is carried by the supported Hanks relationship chain, not by Lincoln's identity or living-status claims. | confirmed | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |
|
claim:abraham-lincoln:birth:1 | birth | birth · February 12, 1809 Two National Park Service pages state it directly: the Nancy Hanks Lincoln profile (“On February 12, 1809, a son named Abraham was born.”) and the Abraham Lincoln profile's Quick Facts (“Date of Birth: February 12, 1809”). The separate likely cousin relationship is carried by the supported Hanks relationship chain, not by Lincoln's birth claim. | confirmed | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |
|
claim:abraham-lincoln:death:1 | death | death · April 15, 1865 The National Park Service profile “Abraham Lincoln” states it directly in its Quick Facts: “Date of Death: April 15, 1865”. The claim was conditional on a page that never mentions 1865 (T-RES-005 review, record error R-3); it now cites the page that states it, and it asserts no relationship between Lincoln and this family. | confirmed | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |

claim:abraham-lincoln:portrait:1 | portrait | portrait · Alexander Gardner · Public domain Public domain image credited to Alexander Gardner; licence and provenance per the Wikimedia Commons file page. | confirmed | 2 · official-transcript | accepted |
