The Cline Family

Our Family

Our Cline heritage is defined as those values, traditions, events, beliefs, and relationships in our families that combine to give rise to our character. Heritage gives us our past and helps us understand elements of our life; our values, priorities, beliefs, and the guidelines we may have been taught to manage our daily lives. Heritage shines light on the experiences of our ancestors, and possibly a lifestyle we will pass on to our descendants. Collectively, the heritage of our Cline family gives rise to its culture.

Welcome to the Cline Family Website, home for information on one of the largest Cline families in America. Here you will find information about notable Clines and namesakes, our Cline ancestors, and current DNA connections. You will also find on this website, Cline souvenirs (and where to buy them), Cline historical books and documents you can download for free, as well as Cline eNewsletters. Through this website you can add your name to the Cline database, meaning you will receive direct information about upcoming events, such as tours, reunions, or special information about our family. We hope this website will become the hub of information about our family, and we hope you will contribute information.

You may have heard it said that it takes lots of people to produce one single human being. Only counting the past 500 years alone, someone calculated that it took a total of 1,048,576 people to produce you – that one single person!

So, for those of us who call ourselves pseudo-genealogists, or maybe part-time detectives? Or keen observers? Or studious sociologists or historians? Or snoops? Or maybe even genealogy addicts? Or probably complete nuts? Whatever we call ourselves, this website is for us!

This website’s purpose is to breathe life into all who have gone before, and to record that past so that we can better live in the present, so that those who come after us will have a history, a past.
