About the Project

The Cummings Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Cummings name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Cummings name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Cummings), by time period (18th Century Cummings), or by topic (Cummings DNA, Cummings Occupations, Cummings Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Hi. I'm trying to connect Isaac Cummings,who I believe was an accuser in the Salem witch trials. I believe he was aboard the Arabella with John Winthrop. I believe that branch of the Cummings family then headed west to settle the new frontier. I am having a hard time connect Isaac with my Cummings family in western states. We were not encouraged to enquire. I understand if certain members of my family want to keep this quiet, but I believe it's an important part of history. I believe it should be brought into the open. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi!!! I was curious if anyone had any information on Andrew Jackson Cummings 1825-1911( according to the marriage license) married to a Nancy Sutherland 1828-1901in Greene County, TN. On the marriage record it states his last name was actually Bailey, but was adopted by William and Mary (Nelson) Cummings. My grandfather and myself have been looking for Andrew's biological parents/family and if possible what happened to his parents to make him go by Cummings?? Curiosity killed the cat lol. If anyone has that information, my email is [email address removed] or of course message me me on wikitree or ancestry.com Screen Name:Kim Picard

Hi! I created the Category:Vermont, Cummings Name Study category that someone had added to a Cummings profile. I also moved the Virginia, Cummings Name Study category from Category:Cummings Name Study to Category:United States, Cummings Name Study (thought I'd mention it in case you went looking for it).

Cheers, Liz
