 Cottrell Genealogy:  

The Cottrell family history in the United States dates back to the 1600s. Our focus is on the  Cottrell family members  who passed through or settled in Greene and Darke County Ohio  in the early 1800's then moved to Michigan in the early 1930's. Our research  includes  the descendants of  William  Claude Cottrell who lived  in the Cement City  Michigan area.

Our goal  is to share  and improve the Cottrell genealogy  documentation for fellow family members and preserve the Cottrell family history for future generations. We also hope to solve the 1810 "Ohio Cottrell brick wall"  by  using genetic genealogy with the assistance of  male descendants of the Cottrell family. If you are a member of this family more   details on our research and how you  can help are  available on the Cottrell Notes  and the Genetic Genealogy pages.

 

Descendants of William Cottrell born 1873 or William Claude Cottrell born 1903 of Darke County Ohio or the descendants of Owen Cottrell  who was born April 19,1934  in Cement City, Michigan are especially urged to contact me. We also welcome contact from descendants of Asher Cottrell born  1810 and John B.M. Cottrell born 1840 .  In addition to  genetic genealogy I am interested in old photographs and biographical information so that I may preserve this history for future generations.
