It is enough of a challenge when researching family history to watch for spelling changes or mistakes with the last name, but another area where you have to use caution is the given or first names of people and their nicknames.

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. It says how I feel about my research much better than I have been able to on my own. I am the county coordinator for Jennings, Jefferson & Switzerland Counties in Southeastern Indiana with INGenWeb. My father was Earl Colvin Stewart, his mother was Catherine Colvin from Pendleton County Kentucky.
