Holcombe Family Genealogy
Welcome to the Holcombe Family Genealogy home page where we post the genealogies of the descendants of Thomas Holcombeand related families. In addition we will keep information on the unverified ancestors of Thomas in hopes that we might promote research that will verify his ancestry.
Our Mission
Our intent is to expand the work of Seaver, McCracken, Bowman and others into the 20th Century. The first step of this process is to post on the web their genealogies compiled into one web site.
We then invite others to send their documented additions and corrections that will be posted as quickly as possible to promote additional feedback. We would like to use the web and its tools as much as possible.
Lastly, it is only appropriate to "give something back" so some of the census records we have come across have been transcribed and enhanced and are now available on the web.
