Welcome to the Colvin Family History website.  This genealogy research tool is not just for your American cousins.  Down through the years, we have had a few stalwart Colvin mailing list members from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Australia.  I would like to see more of you, and for there to be more specific resources available to you.  The latter is up to you to provide to the list and/or the website.

Hello,  fellow Colvin Researchers - my name is Sheila Kell - Michael has generously allowed me to put the following up on the Colvin Family History site.
