Welcome
Welcome to the Coleman Family, which is really not just about the Coleman's, but extends to a geneaology of the Coleman, Lendrum, Wilson, Siering and related families.The site menu to the left allows you to quickly jump to some main areas of the site - including "traditional" family trees by clicking on the "Mom's Side" or "Dad's Side" links. To do a quick search of the site fill in a first or last name in the fields in the top right of the page. Underneath are drop down lists that allow you to search for or access additional information and documents. If you have any questions, comments, or if someone looks familiar and you have information to share please contact me - I would love to hear from you! Just click on "Contact Me" to the right, and also consider "signing up" for full access to the site.

Features Most Wanted - I am looking for information about these ancestors. Can you help? What's New - View the latest updates made to the site. Sign Up - Create a user account for full access. Books and Maps  In addition to individual and family specific records, we're continuing to add to the general histories of the areas and locations where the family and various branches have lived.This includes a growing number of books and map records. If you access the documents or histories sections (either by clicking on the link to the left or the link under "media" above) and search based on the document prefixes of "BOOK_" or "MAP_" you'll be able to see what we have so far. A great resource for many of the books here is archive.org, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format. If you have something that you think would be great to add to the collection here - let me know! |
