Thanks to Jason I have a convenient place to describe my
work and how it can perhaps help you find your Potts
ancestors or relatives, or perhaps help you find other
researchers working on your Potts line.
The Potts Database that I have created
currently has information on over 26,500 Potts surnamed
individuals and their spouses, for a total of over
33,000 Pottses.
When I began my own research I soon discovered that
there were a lot of Pottses in the world, and that there are many different
Potts ancestral lines. To facilitate my own Potts research I decided in 1992 to
create a computer database of Potts individuals who lived in the 16th - 19th
centuries. Since that time I have gathered the major
Potts-related publications,
birth, death, and marriage information, land records, wills, military records,
census information, and pedigrees from other researchers. I am still gathering
information and adding it to the database, and new revisions of the database
will be posted on this site periodically. New information comes in all the time.
While the bulk of the information is about Pottses who lived in North America,
there is a lot of information on Pottses who lived in other countries as well.

If you are unable to find your Potts ancestor in the database,
and you would like me to help search for your ancestor
or relative or other Potts family
Cy@potts.net.au. Just e-mail me the information that
you have, including all the specifics, e.g., full names,
spouse’s name(s), dates, places, siblings, etc., and I
will search the database for connections. In the past 13
years I have done this free of charge for over
900 Potts researchers. When the search is
complete I will advise you of the result. Sometimes the
result is a large list of names and other related
information. In this case I will either mail you a copy
of the database search report with instructions on how
to interpret it, or I will e-mail you the report in your
choice of various software-compatible file formats,
e.g., Excel, Quattro Pro, Lotus, dBase, etc. All
inquiries are kept on file to facilitate repeat
inquiries. I also keep a database of Potts inquirers so
that I can identify and notify those researching the
same Potts line. You can also do this yourself by
visiting the Find a
Potts
page at this site. While there you can also register
your oldest known Potts ancestor and perhaps someone
will contact you with information.
