Finding Charlotte

Finding Charlotte is a work many years in the making which takes us on a remarkable journey through oral traditions, church records, legal documents and DNA verification. It accesses archives from the Bahamas, the United States and the United Kingdom to piece together and provide a comprehensive proof of Charlotte Cooper's identity and the families descended from her. These pages bring new life to Charlotte and her descendants. Part I contains the proof argument identifying Charlotte Cooper and Part II is a narrative spanning six generations of her descendants in the Bahamas and the United States. This work is an example of the Genealogical Proof Standard at work with forewords from Dr. George E. Cooper and Patrick E. Wilson, both accomplished Genealogists with many years of experience chronicling our family history.
