Culpepper Connections!
The Culpepper Family History Site

What's New?

A new version of the Culpepper Family Tree. Our latest periodic update was published December 31, 2011. Since the last update, we have added or updated the records over for twelve hundred individuals. In particular, we have continued to make updates for the Colonial era. We have also added the necessary people to to make the link to John and Priscilla Alden of the Mayflower, and to US President John Adams (see next paragraph). Our next update will be on or before February 29, 2012. (Index to Family Tree)

A Mayflower Connection. A handful of Culpeppers have found a connection back to John and Priscilla Alden of the Mayflower, and then from the Aldens back down to the Alden's great-grandson, US President John Adams. While no doubt there are many other Culpeppers whose ancestry can be traced back to the Mayflower, this is the only connection that we currently know. If you have a Mayflower connection, please give us the details and we will add it. (Dec. 15, 2011)

Photographs. A New Policy on inclusion of photographs in the family tree. (Nov. 1, 2011)

English Wills. We have added transcriptions of 40 additional wills for the 15th-19th century English Culpepers and created an index to them. (June 30, 2011)

Ways You Can Help

If you have found information on this site that was helpful, it was probably something that was provided by another Culpepper family member. Wouldn't you like to return the favor? Here are some ways you can do that.

1. In our Family Tree, tell us which members of your family are missing. Or provide additional or corrected facts about those whom we have listed.

2. Join our DNA project. We seek at least one DNA project participant from each major branch of the Culpepper family. For qualifying individuals, testing is free.

3. In our Photograph Index, we show the names of all deceased family members for whom we have photographs. If you would like to submit a photo of a deceased ancestor, please see Sending Photographs.

4. In our Archives. Scan the locations where your extended family has lived and see if you can identify any of the Culpeppers whom we cannot yet tie to a name in the family tree. The unidentified names will be in red.

Pop Culture. For a little casual diversion, see how many of these references to fictional Culpeppers you recall from the field of entertainment and literature.
