Note about photo selection: In picking the photos contained in our logo, we exercised an editors prerogative and selected pictures that, for the most part, came from our own Hastings lines. Geographically speaking, they are not completely representative of the Hastings migrational patterns. Had we selected randomly from the pool of known Hastings descendants (pre-1900), the states of Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, New York and the Upper Midwest would have been much more heavily represented -- and states like Pennsylvania and Virginia would occur rarely.
