The Colvin Family History Guestbook

Please let us know what you think of this resource. Your feedback is important.

If you are asking a specific question, your entry in the Guestbook will be forwarded to the Colvin Family History mailing list, which has about 160 active Colvin family researchers. This may take some time, since the Guestbook is checked periodically, but not regularly.

The easiest way to get your questions answered is to subscribe to the Colvin mailing list directly. To subscribe, use this link: http://colvin.info/node/15. Then, post your questions to colvin@rootsweb.com. If you choose to stop your subscription once your questions are answered, you may use the same link to unsubscribe.

There are two requirements for getting a response from the Colvin mailing list. Please, please follow them:

1. In order to help you, our researchers will need at least the name, birth year and place, death year and place, and marriage information (or as much of that as you can give) for the oldest Colvin relative you know. The same information for your direct Colvin relative in successive generations will narrow the search for your relatives. Please be as specific as possible, since there are several tens of thousands of possibilities. A question like, "My grandfather's name was John Colvin. Can you help me find my ancestors?" is just too difficult to research.

2. Fill in your email address so that replies can be sent to you.

Julia Ann Colvin Dutile

I have been designated to trace our Colvin family history. We can trace our roots to Thomas Colvin (1809-1870) and Sarah Rosser (1821-1898) but cannot determine his parents nor any further back. We have been told he descended from Eli Colvin (1785)& Mary Polly Price (1795), but we cannot find information on his father/mother, nor anyone further back.
I am Julia Ann Colvin Dutile - daughter of Euel Richard Colvin/Annie Bernice Thomas - son of Thomas W.Colvin/Audie Celestial Caver - son of Jackson Thurman Colvin/Catherine Davis - son of Thomas Colvin/Sarah Rosser.

Since I am new to genealogical research, please advise the best way for me to begin this process. Thanks.

Iam trying to trace the origins of one of my wife 's ancestors, Mary Colvin who married a Thomas Dorien/Dorian pre 1825 probably in Ireland.
By 1841 the family had emigrated to Port Glasgow in Scotland , where there was a sizeable Irish community , including other Dorien families, possibly from the Donegal area.
The 1851 Census shows her as being a widow with a number of children..Catherine who married a Hugh Maloney, Jane who married a William Harper, and a Thomas , Jane , and Mary.

I'd be most grateful for any info/suggestions concerning the birth and marriage of Mary and Thomas

Regards

Kathleen Mary Tolhurst nee Colvin

I would like to introduce a New Zealand branch of "Colvins" if it has not already been done.

My great-great grandfather was James Colvin from Aighan, Killaghtee Parish of the County Donegal Northern Ireland, born 1844. He left Ireland for Melbourne Australia in 1861, on the sailing clipper "Champion of the Seas". In 1862 he followed the gold finds to Otago, New Zealand. He married Kate Goodyear and together they produced 12 children, 7 daughters and 5 sons.

James was a very successful businessman in his own rights, became Mayor of Westport and a Member of Parliament for the New Zealand Government for 20 years before his death in 1919.
