Clopton Family Genealogy Update Forms
Year 2000
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relationships and historical references.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.
Submit information on the American lines to:
Ben Michael Clopton
Co-Chair CFA Genealogy Committee
9495 Windsong
Bainbridge Island, WA 98110
Submit information on the English lines to:
Gene Carlton Clopton
Co-Chair CFA Genealogy Committee
2343 Cheyenne Lane
Lawrenceville, GA 30044
You may alternatively submit information by Email to genealogy@cloptonfamily.org. Use
text or Word formats for text material. You may attach PAF or GEDCOM files if you have them.
With your help on this genealogy update project our family ties and history will be accessible to
this and future generations.

Instructions
(1) Packet Information Form:
Enter your name and contact information. We must be able to contact you to confirm
details that are not clear, and it is important to know the source of information. Also include
as much information about your branch of the family as possible. This form should be the
first one in the packet.
Individuals reported in your packet should have a unique number that you assign
indicated in the places provided [#
]. This is necessary for us to follow child-parent
relationships when other information is not clear. We suggest that you start with the oldest
individual as [# 1] with increasing numbers to the youngest.
(2) Family Information Form:
This is the main form for entering information. Make as many copies as needed and
fill one out for every generation. Each male and female on this form should have the number
you give them on this sheet and on their parent's family sheet. Their children's numbers
should correspond to the sheets for the next generation on which they appear.
If an individual has other marriages, fill out a family sheet including that person (with
their same number), their other spouse, and any children from that union. If there are notes
on an individual or family, check the "notes" box and include a "notes and other information"
sheet. If a person is listed in Gene Clopton's 1984 The Clopton Family you may enter their
TCF84 number if you know it. You may also use the number (along with the date the
database was updated) from the genealogy database at www.cloptonfamily.org.
(3) Notes and Other Information:
Include historical or personal notes on separate pages indicating their source if
possible. You may also include copies of newspaper articles, deeds, etc., but send copies,
not originals, since they will be kept on file and not returned.
Make a packet to submit with the packet information page first with as many following family
and notes pages a necessary. Number all pages in succession with the total number of pages (for
example, Page 4 of 32).
