Data

Portal To The Scribner Master Database and Narrative Family Reports

We offer here a master family database for the descendents of John Scriven of Dover, New Hampshire, and a separate database for the descendents of Benjamin Scribner of Norwalk, Connecticut.  We have also begun adding narrative, sourced family reports.

The John Scriven database has been compiled and graciously contributed by Ray Scribner, who has had extensive input from many branches of the John Scriven descendents.  Ray Scribner's database is considered the most authoritative source of family data on this particular surname study available, and we thank him greatly for contributing his data for our use.  We hope that by providing this data set, that we can resolve many of your questions, and coordinate our understanding of our family history in a meaningful way.  And, if by reviewing this database you find that we are related, welcome cousin!  PLEASE let us know of your existence, and your connection to our family by filling out an entry in the Scribner Database.  We eventually hope to offer information for other Scribner lines in America.

The Benjamin Scribner dataset has been contributed by Robert Davenport.  He may be reached by e-mail.

DISCLAIMER:
These databases are a compilation of information obtained from multiple sources over which we have no control; we disclaim all liability -- whether direct or consequential -- for information posted on this database.  We have made significant efforts to ensure that no private information from living persons is displayed here. It may be possible that we have living persons listed, but to the extent Scribner Families has identified such individuals, their private information has been withheld. As part of that effort, we employ software that includes a privacy filter, striking all information for individuals who may still be living and substituting "private."  In addition, we are in the process of substituting "living' for given names of all known potentially living persons in our database.  If a specific issue is brought to our attention, we will update privacy information for any individual in our files.  Removing information on living individuals is a courtesy on our part; most information on living individuals contained in a GEDCOM can also be found at numerous locations on the Internet and in such easily obtainable documents as credit reports.  Nevertheless, we are seriously concerned about preservation of privacy and will take all reasonable steps to ensure privacy of living individuals.

Generation 1: The Family of John Scriven

The tool we used to create this database was a gedcom-to-html program:

We owe a debt of thanks to Perry Lowell for researching the various software options and selecting this one.  As I am sure you will agree when you view our data, this is a very sophisticated and graphically-appealing program, and I think her choice was a very astute one!  

We will update this data on a periodic basis as changes warrant.  Between uploads, we will post known changes to the News Page.  As time permits, your webmaster will begin to link the existing images, biographies, and archives to the dataset, organized by family group.

If you are a Scribner researcher, and have data to add, questions, or inquiries about the content of the data posted here, please e-mail Ray Scribner directly.
