My link to the Sleeman family is as follows: My mother was Jane McCrea whose father was William Elmer McCrea. His mother was Eliza Ann Sleeman. She is the daughter of Evan Sleeman who came from England. I hope to find out that we are all related some day. Let me know if you can link us together.

Hi everyone. My great grandparents, Evan & Ann Sleeman(Howells) were from Mitchel Dean. They were married there. They went to U.S. in about 1845. First to Mississouri, then Utah and then to Calif. I would like info on the Mitchel Dean era and to know if we still have relatives there. Please contact me if you have any family history, or if you would just like to be in touch.
