Clover Family Research Compendium

For the Clover Family Historical Society

Welcome to the Clover Family Research Site.

New Clover DNA Project

We have started a Clover DNA project. There were about seven lines of Clovers residing in America before 1800. Several more came from Germany and England in the 1800s. We hope to find out if some of these lines are related. We also suspect that there may have been some name changes by the immigrants. We hope that we may find matches in similar spelled names. We expect to use Genetic Research along with Traditional Genealogy Research to try to find out more about our ancestors.

Since the Y Chromosome is carried by the male of the line, we need some Clover males to take the test. We hope that our many female readers will help us out by talking to their brothers, cousins, etc. If a male is willing to take the test but cannot afford it, please contact me. If you are willing to donate money but can't take the test, let me know.

Check out the DNA site at: www.familytreedna.com Put Clover in the search box. We have chosen this site for the project because it was the first and is the largest program of its type. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your permission. This site has strict privacy rules.

Clover Books for Sale

The information on this site is free for all to see at no charge. However, some people have asked me to make paper copies available. They find paper easier to read and understand. See this site for the Clover Books which are available at this time.

Update Report

I update this site all the time. If you would like to receive a monthly report on what pages I have added, please contact me at junebyr@yahoo.com The frequency of the report sometimes depends on how much I find time to do.

Using the Search Engine

Try several spellings. Do not be too specific. Note that there may be 10 ways to spell Sharpenstine and the search engine will not look for parts of words. So check the pages on the state you are interested in. There may be something you need to see there. Note that there may be entries which refer to a person in which the name is misspelled. I have copied as well as I could exactly what I have found. I have not changed spellings of names because I think that is a dangerous practice. Consequently, I strongly suggest you check the actual state and or family pages in addition to using the index. The index will help you locate a record for a person who is not where you would have expected to find him or her. Also look at the site map to see the pages that might interest you.

Remember that your person may appear with a misspelled name or an initial. Do not ask only for "Philip Clover" because he may be there as P or as Philip or as Phillip or with a middle initial or as Clover, Philip. There are so many Clovers here, you should try first for an unusual place or wife's name. If you want to find someone whose wife was Nancy Fisher, put both words into quotes "Nancy Fisher" That way you won't get back all the Nancy entries who are not Nancy Fisher or the Fishers who are not Nancys. However, that only works if I have the name on the site. Don't forget she could be there as Nancy Elizabeth Fisher or Fisher, Nancy. Ah, you wanted an easy index? Dream on. If you can't find your people, send me an email. There are over 350 pages here nearly all of which have Clover on the page so don't bother doing a Clover search.

The site is re-indexed a couple of times a week so if you don't see something today, check back. There could be information here that has not yet been indexed.
