Offutt Family Genealogy

Welcome to our family tree!

Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. This site is an attempt to record what I've learned about our family history. In these modern times, families tend to be scattered all over the country, if not the world. One of the goals of this web site is to help our family stay connected even though we live far apart.

On this page I'll provide a little information about who I am and what inspired me to do this research. Most of this information was probably obtained from talking to living relatives and from researching public records. In the course of doing this research, I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever thought possible!

This is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any information that might help round out the picture.

This research started in part due to my being assigned to the United States Air Force base named for Jarvis Jennes Offutt. After being asked a number of times if I was related to him, I decided to try and find out. Although at this time I still can't say one way ot the other, I have learned a great deal about the Offutt Family.
 
At the bottom of the page is a link to another Web Site that has information about the possible origin of the Offutt Family. I encourage you to check that site out as well.

Acknowledgments
Many years ago I contacted a wonderful lady who had already done a great deal of research on the Offutt Family. Her name was Nelle Offutt Chesley. Thanks to her kindness and generosity I was able to obtain a copy of her research. The information contained in this web site is in a large part the results of her research. It has been entered into a genealogical program to be formatted for easier access. Where possible I have updated her information, and made a few corrections here and there.
