Congratulations to..............

 Jim & Mary Colbert  (postal members) from the Wirral England UK & Phyllis Stratford (online member) from B.C Canada with finding a connection with their Colbert families! This is the 1st definite connection made that the Colbert One Name Study has helped with. All the very best to you three with sharing your family histories!!!!

Can you help?

If you think you may be able to offer assistance in gathering Colbert entries from the Country you live in I would be very grateful. I am based in the U.K so my research will be heavily linked to U.K resources. I welcome Colbert information from anywhere in the world.

Aims:

The intention is to correlate as many worldwide resources and information, available on one site. So with everyone's kind encouragement, input and support this site will point you in a positive direction for your research. I welcome any Colbert data worldwide. For example:

  • Monumental Inscriptions [transcribed or photographs].
  • Baptismal, Birth, Marriage & Death entries,
  • Information from family Bibles, Letters or family papers,
  • Census entries, Voters Lists,
  • Obituaries,
  • Photographs
  • War entries
  • Newspaper stories
  • Colbert Surname Distribution information

Even if the information you wish to share is from your own research (no details on living individuals needed), this information would be of great benefit to others researching the surname. I will also consider publishing any sourced digital images on the website if web space allows, if this is not possible I will transcribe the entry and place the information via the: Colbert Message Board

 

GRO BIRTH RECORDS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

(Completed)

I have now completed the United Kingdom GRO 'Colbert' Births from September 1837 until December 1904. If you have U.K Colbert connections please email me & I will gladly share with you the information I have within this database.

GRO MARRIAGE RECORDS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

(Research Current)

I am currently pursuing all the United Kingdom GRO 'Colbert' Marriages. I have so far collected Marriages dated from September 1837 - 1861. At present I have many family commitments and will continue with this research when time allows.

NB: All the above entries are in the format of excel databases. This data will eventually be made freely available online. Unfortunately I cannot pursue the variants of the name (& I know there are many entries mis-spelt) I feel the best way forward at the moment is to proceed with the name of origin. Some of the more common variants that I have found when collecting the above data within the GRO indexes are: Colebert, Coulbert, Colburt, Coleburt, Callbert, Colbear. I have not noted the entries but hopefully will be in a position to do so in the future.

Don't forget.....

All your Colbert & Variation queries are most welcome, if you would like to see something else on the website or a different category or you have something of relevance to other Colbert (& Variant) researchers then enter the details within the message board or contact me. If you do not have any such data but you are aware of some useful 'Colbert orientated' web links then please share them with us all. It does not matter how small the information you can give is, all information gathered will be a bonus to all of us researching this surname interest. This is the main reason for this website's existence. Please remember that all data supplied will be listed with its source.

Additional note: If you feel that some information is not sourced properly, corrections or additional information then by all means contact me & I will do my best to assist with your queries. If you update your own research & would like to amend any of your details that are held by me then please contact me with the correct information. Please note at the moment my family commitments mean that there will be a delay with any corrections that may be needed. I do apologise for this delay & thank you for your time & interest in The Colbert O.N.S

Thanks to all involved I would like to take this opportunity to thank all individuals who have contacted me & allowed me to share their Colbert histories online. Thank you also for such lovely emails and comments about the site. Lets make this site a good one! All your input, however large or small is gratefully received. Thank you all!

I would also like to give special mention & thanks to several RootsChat.com members, who have no connection to the Colbert surname but who have sent me various records. I could not possibly amass the information needed for this study without the kind help from others. Thanks to these users:

Amy K, Nutkin, JeannieR,  Munchies,  Rutti tutti, Audrey, Katebray,

I do apologise if I have missed anyone out

Kindest Regards

Jen Colbert
