How to Find Names on this Site

There are four ways on this website to search for your Culpepper or Culpepper-related ancestor.

1. Index of Names. Start by doing a search in our Family Tree Index.
   Our index of names is only for the Family Tree portion of the site. If you are trying to find where you or a particular ancestor fit within the overall Culpepper family tree, this is a good starting point.
   
   However, please be aware that we have many other references to Culpeppers in news articles, obituaries, censuses, and records of birth, marriage, death and burial. Many of these references will not show up in the Family Tree. But you can find them via our Search Engine described below.
   
   Also, when using the Family Tree Index, it is necessary to know the exact form of the name that we used in the Family Tree. Depending upon the person, the form of our names in the family tree may be based upon a census record, an obituary, or other public or private published documents. The form of the name by which you know the person could be quite different. Plus, keep in mind that prior to quite modern times, people often modified their names over the course of time.

2. Search Engine. As of February 4, 2005, we converted our search engine to Google. This site-specific search returns results for all portions of our website and not just the Family Tree. It employs standard Google syntax.

3. Contact Us. If you're not successful in your search, we're always glad to help a Culpepper make a match between their family and the worldwide Culpepper Family Tree. Just contact us and tell us what you already know about your ancestry.

4. DNA Project. If the connection of your branch of the Culpeppers to our worldwide family tree is unknown, then by your joining our DNA project, we may be able to figure it out.
