I want to learn about family history

Interesting Site. any Prentice's who knew Jim (james)Guy Prentice ?

daughter of Gordon Prentice,granddaughter of William Prentice,of Abbey,Sask,canada

Correction: After checking some excerts for the 1883 book my family had made several years back,...Do not go back to Valentine but Henry. I am son of Orren Kenneth Prentiss, is son of Phillip Gordon Prentiss, is son of Alfred W. Prentiss, is son of Alfr ed Gordon Prentiss, is son of Lowry Prentice, is son of Daniel(6) and Abigail Prentice, is son of Daniel(5) Prentice, is son of Stephen Prentice, is son of Solomon(3) Prentiss, is son of Solomon(2) Prentice, is son of Henry Prentice....

Nice to find this site. My family has a typed copy of portions of a book, possibly the 1883 book, describing our family. Will check to see if this is the same. The name Valintine comes to mind as possible direct ancestor. Thanks, Steven Prentiss, of Orren K. Prentiss, of Philip and Gertrude 'Box Car Trudy' Prentiss.

Glad to know there's so many more! I rarely meet a Prentice in day-to-day life. http://robert.prentice.net --my personal website http://prentice.net --buy a subdomain of "Prentice.net" to use for email and websites

Just found this from Andrew M. Prentice. I have sent it this to my brother and he will send it to the one in our family that has been tracking down alot of the prentice family tree. Thanks, don

Great summary, and in depth knowledge.

HI !!

I'm glad I found you. I'm told I'm related to Valentine Prentice, But I can only go to my great grandfather Albert Dwane Prentice. (he is the first of four as my cousin is the fourth.) CPrentice 0

this really helpped me in doing my project for us history even though i didnt want to do this person.

I have been updating my 1931 Prentice genealogy book for 25+ years and would be interested to see if I can cross reference with anyone on your list.

I've been meaning to start a family tree and trace my Prentice heritage back as far as I can and this site is a wealth of information, particularly the origins of the name. Keep it up.

I was a Prentice from Columbia, TN., and I love looking at this site. I have made a few connections. I am a great-great-grandaughter of John Prentice, b.1805, KY, and Mariah Green, b.15 Dec 1807. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with connections. Th anks!

Found you through the Harmon Site regarding your submission of inf on Mary Skinner/Nathaniel Harmon. They are also the line I am working on. Comes down to Cynthia Harmon, born 1774 married John A. Harper in Harpersfield, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. Would like to exchange data. Do you have the Harmon/Skinner info so that I can receive a Gedcom file? Thanks Donna Cuillard Col. Alexander Harper Fam. Org. Genealogy Committee - Database

I was just looking around to see the different spellings of the Prentice name. Thank you.

Grandson of Minnie Letitia Prentiss who was the daughter of Edmund Stanley Prentiss. This Prentiss family included Harris, Harris, and Oliver who was the original immigrant to Nova Scotia. I have collected quite a bit of info on them and would be happy to share.

Your history was very interesting.I am trying to find members from my father's family.The Dabbs Family from Mt.Pleasant,Texas.I hope I CAN FIND THEM. You have helped. Thanks

My Mothers name is Arlene Prentice. My Grandfather's name was Aaron Sherman Prentice, Grandmother Clara, resided in Kalkaska Michigan. I would like to know more about my familiy roots. please contact. Thank you.

My grandfather, Thomas W. Prentice, immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 16. He was born in Ayre, Scotland in 1886, and lived to be 100. He died in May of 1996. He had many siblings, who have visited us here. He married Mary Cook of Ireland and together they had 3 children, John, my father, Mary, now 83, and Thomas jr.(both sons now deceased). My brother and sister and I still have contact with his family in Scotland, especially 2 sisters, neices of my grandfather.

10th generation from Capt Thomas (the Trooper)and Grace Prentice. Always like to chat with relatives and others of this proud old name.

Very nice site. I hope query can lead to more information about my grandfather Thomas Fraser Prentice.

G'day Mate Cheers

VERY MUCH information!

Mother came from Glasgow in 1928 and her father was James Prentice. Ran a "trucking" company for many years. Looking for Great Grandparents information

My family arrived in Australia late 1800s from England. Possibly related ?

Looking for your "Kibbe" ancestors. enjoyed chatting with you.

I am so happy I found this site. I am the 9th great granddaughter of John Prentice son of Valentine. I was born in Mass. and raised in New London, Conn. I plan on being a regular visitor to this new found site. Linda

I did a family tree project in junior high and I didnt have enough information on this side of the family, I am trying to make sure that the same thing doesnt happen to my kids. Is there a tree posted somewhere ?

Now trying to find out genesis of Prentice in my line which began with David Prentice Loomis, b. New Philadephia, OH, 6-14-1877.

Looking forward to viewing the information gathered as I know how much work is needed to collect even a small amount of accurate information. Keep up the good work.

I've just discovered your site and enjoyed it. I've posted a question about my great grandmother, Elizabeth Mary (née Prentice) and her father Jeremiah. Hope to get an answer :-)

One of the sons of Solomon and Hepzipah was Solomon Prentice. He graduated Harvard College in 1727 and moved on to become the first minister of the new church in Grafton MA. He married Sarah Sartell of Chelmsford MA and they had 12 children. He moved from Grafton to Easton to Hull and returned to Grafton where he and his wife are buried. He led the life of a "Great Awaking" minister. Many people treasured his spirituality as others questioned his methods. He has a write up in a book about distinquished Ha rvard graduates. The senior Solomon is my ancestor eight generations removed. The senior Solomon was a surveyor and laid out what is now the Cambridge Common. Additionally, the headstone for Hepzipah should read January 15, 1741 (Cambridge Town Records).

Terrific site! It's amazing how much information people have gathered. I noticed a lot of the Prentice's have been traced back to the Massachussettes's area. I wonder if there is any connection to my family in Canada? I am the daughter of William Kenton Prentice(b.1939-d.1988) My grandfather was Elias Prentice (b.01/29/1902-d.1972). He was married to (Wilma)Jean Malloy.My great-grandfather was Levi Prentice(b.03/14/1855 d.01/08/1929)and was married to Eliza Prentice(maiden name Wheeler)b.11/19/1863 d.1937. My great grandfather Levi had 9 siblings though I don't know their names. My grandfather Eliza was one eight children. The family was from southern Ontario. My grandfather Eliza and his siblings were raised on a farm in Collingwood, Ontario,Canada. I'm not sure where the connection lies before Levi Prentice any ideas?

Grandson Of Bricen Cooper Prentice, (b. July 4, 1893) of TN. What a great site this is. It's fascinating to see so many Prentices and learn about the many braches in the family tree!

I am interested in the Janes family. Most settled in NewFoundland, CA. Also, Pomeroy, Richards, Antle. I realize that deJeans, Jaynes, Jeans, are also important.

I just came on line and it was great to find your web page.I was born and grew up in Marblehead,MA. In the research of my mothers ancestors in the Marblehead Vital Statistics I discovered that Henry Prentice,of Cambridge,MA.(born in England before 1640) i s my 8th Great Grandfather. I am now 82 year old and my wife, who is 80 this year and related to the Harlows of Plymouth ,MA., still enjoy working on and including new relatives in our genealogies.

Just found website, researching Prentiss family. Orginally from Acton, MA. Think line includes Caleb Prentiss.

Message for Greg McLellan .. your email address appears to be wrong. I tried responding to your question, but my email bounced! Send me an email and let me know your correct address, and perhaps we can help point you in the right direction.

I'm 14 years old I'm trying to find my past time realatives but I have no clue where to begin.

Enjoyed discovering this wonderful site and hope that it can be source of information to help me with my family tree research. My great great grandfather was born in Omoa, near Wishaw in 1833. Anyone out there heard of him ? His mother was Mary Meikle.

Son of John B. Prentice born in Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland 3-7-1890.

Hi Scott, We really enjoy your website! It has a ton of good information. Thank you for letting us host the PrenticeNet website! Best Regards, Steve & Shaunna Prentice

This is my new email address. I used to have Prentiss.lee@tci.com, no longer. I also have Mayorlee@netscape.net. I have four brothers and my parents are from Boston, Ma. They left Boston in 1929 and came to Southern California.

Found your wonderful web site but have not been able to add to it yet. I'm descended from the Prentices of Carnwath and they were pretty prolific.

Originally from Danvers Mass. Grew up in Essex, Mass. I am not as interested as my brother Tom (of Essex, Ma) in the family tree,although it is a facinating subject. More info can be obtained from a book published by the Power Press 11 Devonshire St Boston, Ma. This book was published in 1852. A cousin (2nd ) Paul Ferguerson of Danvers has this book, I believe! I saw it along with my father at his half sister`s Doris Prentiss`s house in Danvers in 1989. They are both deceased now. The family tree was all there, from the 1600`s. What little I wrote from it wa s "entered according to the act of congress in the year 1852 in the clerks office of the district court of the district of Massachusetts". I hope this be of some help to a "relative" . This book was printed in 1852

My fathers family came from Swanscombe near Gravesend in Kent, England. Before that from Ireland. My grandfathers name was William and he had several members of his family spread out to northern England, Spain and other places. It would be lovely to find some of them. My grandfather married Ethel Harris after WW1. They had four boys, including my dad, Brian, Raymond, Dennis and Terence.

This is a great web site. My father's name is Ross Prentice, and his father is Roy Prentice. Our ancestor originally came from Scottland and France. Also, have some Swedish and German ancestery.

My family left Boston, Ma in 1929. Fathers name was Warren S. Prentiss. I have four brothers, Warren L., Ralph G, Gary Alan, and Randy Jay. I am just starting the family history and was thrilled to find this site. Thanks
