About the Project
The Coulter Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the [1] 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 Prettyman 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 (16th Century Coulters), by period (17th Century Coulters), by period (18th Century Coulters), or by topic (Coulter DNA, Coulter Occupations, Coulter Statistics). These studies may also include many family branches that 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.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants. (Related surnames: CALDER, COTTER, CUTTER, COULTHARD HOLTER, COLTER, CAULDER, COULT, KALTER, COLER, COLTART, KELTER, COALTER, GOULTER, COULDREY.

- Various sources, including Wikipedia, cite the origin of the Coulter surname as Scotland (and sometimes Ireland). The name is found in every area of the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as locations colonized by England, including the United States, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. One purpose of this study is to trace this geographic migration.
