There have been several migrations of Kingsman (Kinsman) (Kingman) individuals to Canada, particularly in the various Kinsman lines. This section tries to list all the major groups as they become known. Whether all, or any, of these groups link into a common family unit has not yet been proved. There is a DNA project in progress which may help to show this, but the results so far (of only three inviduals) show three distinct family lines. More participants are needed in order to try and knit these separate limbs together. Please contact me if you'd like to join in.
A lot of the work on putting the separate trees together as shown here as been done by others. All comments and contributions are welcome.
The links to Canadian families from this page currently include information on 684 individuals.
