My family traces back to Cubert in Cornwall and has been researched by a distant cousin. My father was Leslie Francis Sleeman of Hove, Sussex and Banstead Surrey, whos erved with the Kings African Rifles during the war. I have two sons, Mark (22) and Andrew (20). I was fascinated to find the site, Merry Christmas to all the extended family.

I am originally from Hopkins, Michigan. My dad was William Sleeman Sr., from Alaska, Michigan. If my entry looks familiar, it is because I had originally signed the guestbook while I was active duty United States Air Force. Now that I am out of the ser ice after 10 years, I am looking forward to actually attending at least one Sleeman gathering a year. One last thing... hello to all my extended family out there! I'm open to receive e-mail if anyone wants to talk family :-)

Hello This is an appeal to all Sleemans. I am working on a British television programme for Channel 4 called Extraordinary Ancestors. The aim is to trace the ancestors of a variety of "ordinary" British people. We then take these people on a journey of discovery to one of their ancestral villages/regions where we tell them more about the history of their family and of the community to which they belonged. In this particular case, I am making a 10-minute film about a man from Cardiff - Keith Murrell - and his maternal ancestors - the Sleemans. We are particularly interested in featuring George Sleeman who was born around 1826 (either in Swansea or in Micheldean) and died in 1882 at Ruardean Hill (or East Dean) where he lived and worked as a miner. He was the great great grandfather of Keith. He was himself the son of another George Sleeman, who was a blacksmith. Do you know anything about this George Sleeman? Also, does anyone know any Sleemans still living in the Forest of Dean area in the UK or any Sleemans who might be directly related to George Sleeman? I would be extremely grateful for any help. My request is very urgent since I will be filming in the Forest of Dean in 10 days.

Hi -- I am not a Sleeman, but my best friend in 11th and 12th grade and her sister were and I have been trying to locate them for over 20 years. Their names were Louise and Gina Sleeman. They lived in Charters Towers, QLD, Australia. Their parents (Cannot remember father's name, but mother's name was Eunice) owned and operated the Court House Hotel on Main Street. Louise and I graduated from Charters Towers High School in Nov 1974. I returned to the United States a few months later and lost contact with th m. If any one has any information on them, please email me. Thank you!!!

I find this site very interesting and my grandmother is in the process of tracing our family tree. I would really find it a great honor to hear from other Sleemans.

My mother's maiden name is Stella Sleeman. She is the daughter of the late Philip Sleeman b1874 who was a master at Harrow School. He was descended from the Cornish (St Tudy) Sleemans who later moved to Bristol and who included among their number Sir Will m Sleeman famous for suppressing the Thugs in India in the early 19th century. My mother's cousin Judge Colin Sleeman has done a huge amount of research on these Sleemans going back to the 16th Century and has published his findings privately. I have a co y and would be happy to share the information.

Comments:
I have a large amount of data on Sleemans going back to the 15th c., much of it the result of over 50 years research by my late father the Rev. Arthur James Sleeman of Uplyme, Devon, England (sometime of Bristol). Our branch of the family came from paris es in N. Cornwall and N. Devon.

Comments:
Please note that I have changed my email address from my previous entry. I have a very large collection of Sleeman material and would be happy to share this with any interested researchers. Mike

I'm looking for any information, particularly the buriel site, of Bertram Austin Sleeman, born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, probably between 1900-1903. His father was Edwin Austin Sleeman of Guelph,Ontario and his grandfather was George Sleeman of Guelph,O tario,Canada. George's father was John Sleeman who founded the Spring Bank Brewery, now known as the Sleeman Brewery in Guelph,Ontario. Congratulations on your excellent Web site.

Comments:
I am particulary intrested in any information on the links between the Cornish Sleeman's and their Dutch or possibly north German ancestry esp relating to Mousehole in Cornwall.

I have just started looking into my family history. I have the most information on my paternal grandmother's side of the family, but I don't have any documentation for it.

Top web site. I'm 34 y.o. the baby of the family of Ronald Keith & Judith Anne Sleeman nee Simpson both of the Rockhampton area of Central Queensland. My grandfather Frederick Leslie Sleeman is still alive today at 89 y.o. He married Zena Maude Childs aro nd 1933 and had one child, my father. Grandad had a brother, Eddie but he was electrocuted at 21 y.o. and I never got to meet him. Grandad's father was also named Frederic. We did have a family reunion in Rocky about 3 to 4 years ago. I didn't realize there was so many of us about. A lot of Sleemans live in the Mackay area of Central Qld. That's about it for now. Bye.

My Father's name is Ronald and is married to Shirley nee Warner who is from Newlyn. If any one knows any thing regarding our history I would interested in hearing from you.

all I know is that my grandfather was Francis Sleeman and that he was from the Cornwall area in England. nice web site

My dad made several geneological sheets of our family dating back to 1700 which I have inherited (along with my brother Richard of Rochester Hills, Mi). My dad was in contact with Arthur Sleeman (an Anglican Minister) of England who provided much of the information my father collected. My father was also in contact with the Kalamazoo Sleemans for many years who, I think, are distant relatives. My great grandfather John Sleeman immigrated to Linden, Mi where he was a carriage maker, after serving in the f rce in Ontario in the late 1800s that put down some uprising. He was rewarded with a large plot of land in northern Ontario in the middle of nowwhere north of Sudbury. He came from the same area in Guelph, Ontario where the Sleeman brewery now is. My uncle (deceased) John (Jack) Sleeman flew in Korea and retired from the Air Force. He visited the Sleemans in England and found a Sleeman brewery that no longer is in business. Many Sleemans immigrated to Canada from England and Cornwall and then immigrated o Michigan from Canada. I've searched in the web phone directory and found Sleemans listed all over the U.S. There are (I think) 3 other Donald Sleemans in southeastern Michigan - which my girlfriend says is a frightening thought! In addition to me the e is cousin Kevin in Hayward, CA and cousin Karen in Tampa, Fl, as well as my brother in Rochester Hills. The stories are endless. And it's S-L-E-E-M-A-N to those who don't know how to spell it; and for those who don't understand the web site the reasons, we are an inquisitive bunch of people.

Hi All

I descend from the St.Tudy, Cornwall, England SLEEMANs. I have a tree back to eraly 1700s which is partly verified and photos of church and headstones @ St.Tudy.

Comments:
Most ironically, I became a mining engineer before I had a clue of how intimately the Sleeman family history is associated with mining. Most of us had ancestors who were born in Cornwall, which was one of the great tin producing areas of history. (Tin i essential in making bronze). As the easier ore began to peter out, the miners tunneled out under the sea to follow the veins and in so doing developed much “cutting edge” technology-especially the Cornish pump for dewatering mines. As the tin became ev r scarcer in early to mid 19th century, the now unemployed but very highly skilled miners started to migrate to the great mining areas of the new world where many of their descendents (us) are found today. Examples are Australia, Michigan, Ontario, Weste n US, Africa etc. Our ancestors were known fondly (along with other Cornish people who immigrated) as “Cousin Jacks” and “Cousin Jennies”. Along with Welsh people, they were also well known for their singing. I have noticed (as many others no doubt have) in my family history research how many of our ancestors and living descendents are named Richard, George, or Arthur. Thought many of you would be interested in the foregoing. Still trying to trace my grandfather Richard (1842-1927) from Montana back to his Cornish heritage.

Hello everyone, My name is Jeff and I live in Utah. My grandfather is Charles Douglas Sleeman, and he has relatives in the New York area. I think that it is cool that you have made a website specifically for us. I have grown up thinking that our fami y was the only sleemans alive, but since the internet, I have been proven wrong many a time. I think it is cool that we have such a vast lineage.

So far my Sleeman tree consists of Sleemans from Gloucester (Forest of Dean) in the 1800s. I have found one Sleeman that left Gloucester to go to New Haven, Connecticut in 1900, trying to find his descendants. Would love to share info with others. I wo ld like to contact any Sleemans currently living in Gloucester, they may be descendants of my Sleemans. Great site!
