The

POTTS SURNAME WEBSITE

Here you will find:

Information on the POTTS surname and it's variations.

A searchable relational database containing over 30,000 POTTS surnamed individuals (plus their 15,000+ spouses) who lived in the 16th to early 20th centuries throughout the world. Boolean (logical) searching is incorporated, with up to eight search criteria being allowed. An alternate seach capability (Pico Search) allows you to scroll through the entire database, one alphabetical section at a time.

Information on over thirty publications and other printed sources of POTTS genealogical data, some of which are downloadable from this site.

A list of some sources of POTTS information available on the Internet.

A listing of all the inquirers/researchers (almost 1,000), and their email addresses (if known), who have contacted me for help, indexed by the Potts individual or surname line they are working on.

A section on genealogical DNA usage and how you can be tested and then compare your DNA with others on available web sites in order to find ancestral origin and perhaps kin.

A Guest Book that you can sign if you choose, that is shared with site visitors. Tell visitors who or what family you are researching.

A Feedback Form to provide me with information regarding any difficulties you encountered on the site or, perhaps a brief summary of your success.

and, in the future:

A separate searchable database for Potts known to have been born in the U. K. (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland). These individuals will also be listed in the regular Potts Surname Database, but this database will be much smaller (about 6,000 idividuals) and provide faster searches. You will be able to search by given name, parent's name(s), birth (or christening) date, and birth location. Search results will provide the same information found in the larger Potts Surname Database.

Information on the Potts Family arms and crest. (Currently available only via a link on this site.)
