“Where do I come from? …We may know our parents, even our grandparents; not far beyond that, for most of us the trail begins to disappear into the mist.” 1  Who were the people who came before?  Where did they live? What were their lives like?


The purpose of the site is to connect living Cushmans with their male ancestry.


If you can remember the name of your Cushman father, your Cushman grandfather and Cushman great grandfather, you should be able to link up to their ancestors at this site. The database contains a growing number of lines that have been successfully brought up to the present.
