Clopton Family Genealogy Update Forms

Year 2000

These forms are for updating your genealogy and history for inclusion in the Clopton Family Association database. They are for both the English and American lines with the following relationships:

English Lines: the Clopton lines in England or ancestors of William and Ann Clopton of Virginia including both male and female lines.

American Lines: all families and individuals related to William and Ann Clopton of Virginia through male or female lines.

Whenever possible please include references to your sources so that others may verify relationships and historical references.

We also invite those with the surname Clopton who have not identified a relationship to William or Ann to submit information. Please follow the instructions and include all of the information requested to the extent possible, but remember that some information is better than none, and missing information can be added later. This information will be included in an update to be published, and the basic genealogical information will be available as it is collected and revised on the Clopton Family website at www.cloptonfamily.org with details excluded for living individuals. Copy forms as you need or make legible handwritten copies. Forms are available at the website in various formats.

Your packet will consist of the accompanying forms which include three types of pages: one showing who submitted the information and some general information about the family line, another for individual family information (information about individuals including husband, wife and children), and a third one for entering notes and other extra information. You will probably need a number of copies of the family and notes pages.

Submit information on the American lines to:

Submit information on the English lines to:

You may alternatively submit information by Email to genealogy@cloptonfamily.org. Use text or Word formats for text material. You may attach PAF or GEDCOM files if you have them.

With your help on this genealogy update project our family ties and history will be accessible to this and future generations.

Instructions

(1) Packet Information Form:

Enter your name and contact information. We must be able to contact you to confirm details that are not clear, and it is important to know the source of information. Also include as much information about your branch of the family as possible. This form should be the first one in the packet.

Individuals reported in your packet should have a unique number that you assign indicated in the places provided [# ]. This is necessary for us to follow child-parent relationships when other information is not clear. We suggest that you start with the oldest individual as [# 1] with increasing numbers to the youngest.

(2) Family Information Form:

This is the main form for entering information. Make as many copies as needed and fill one out for every generation. Each male and female on this form should have the number you give them on this sheet and on their parent's family sheet. Their children's numbers should correspond to the sheets for the next generation on which they appear.

If an individual has other marriages, fill out a family sheet including that person (with their same number), their other spouse, and any children from that union. If there are notes on an individual or family, check the "notes" box and include a "notes and other information" sheet. If a person is listed in Gene Clopton's 1984 The Clopton Family you may enter their TCF84 number if you know it. You may also use the number (along with the date the database was updated) from the genealogy database at www.cloptonfamily.org.

(3) Notes and Other Information:

Include historical or personal notes on separate pages indicating their source if possible. You may also include copies of newspaper articles, deeds, etc., but send copies, not originals, since they will be kept on file and not returned.

Make a packet to submit with the packet information page first with as many following family and notes pages a necessary. Number all pages in succession with the total number of pages (for example, Page 4 of 32).
