Have your Family Tree custom printed on one sheet of paper at GenealogyPrinters.com

Whether you are a Covington, a Coventon or a Covernton, this is the site for you to find out all that there is to know about your ancestry. Everything you have ever wanted to know about the Covington name and it's various derivatives can be found in the following pages. Some researched trees go back 15 generations - could it be yours?

Extensive research over the past 20 years has resulted in genealogical details of over 14,000 fortunate individuals to have carried the famous Covington name. Many were born with it and others just got lucky by marrying in to it!!

My site majors on all facets of the Covington name from it's origins, it's people and the various places named after it. My eternally unfinished works include extensive history of Covingtons through the ages. From the earliest recorded William de Covington in the 13th century, through a couple of murderers, a Middlesex county cricketer and a number of U.S. and European war heroes, to chart topping Julie and many, many more of the Covington's of yesterday & today.

If you are a Covington, or related in some way, please E-mail me and let me have details of your family tree. Your contribution will help provide a even more-detailed genealogical picture of our family name, for generations in the future to enjoy.  

I’m particularly keen to make contact with any Canadian Covingtons, who may be able to give me more information about my Great Grandfather who emigrated there at the turn of the century.

If you have the time please complete the Covington Questionnaire which will guarantee you and your family a place in the Covington History Database
