A Search for Unknown Coleman Family Members

My search for members of my Coleman family has, since spring of 1999, yielded greater results than I could have expected when I began. I started this trek back then only knowing the name of my Great Grandfather and his wife. I did not even know who all of my father's first cousins were. Yet, now I have had the pleasure and honor of meeting so many of my cousins, that I thought I would start creating a visually oriented story in an attempt to do two things:

  1. Layout a tree of the Coleman folks that I know of, with their connections and those descendants who are researching them, and
  2. Help with the job that all of us have of finding out where our earlier Coleman ancestors came from, and even who they were.

I start with an unknown ancestor who is known only by the children he had.

KEY: Click on a name for more information on that individual, or click below for the descendents of that individual or couple.
