CFA Genealogy Update Forms

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 Whenever possible please include references to your sources so that others may verify relationships and historical references.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