Biography

Olin Coles was born in the United States. Emancipated and living entirely on his own at age 16, he supported himself by working two jobs while also attending mandatory classes throughout High School. Olin graduated and joined the United State Marine Corps, where he reached the rank of Sergeant. He would later operate his own business, and marry. At the time this profile was created, Olin was still a living person.^[1]

Olin's genealogical passion is the result of family suppression of history and records. After years of requesting a once-seen paternal family tree, he began researching family ancestry on his own. Upon receiving the results of DNA testing, he was connected with, and contacted distant relatives that pointed him towards historical resources. Within months, his family tree grew well beyond the dozen immediate family members he had known of, thanks largely in part to the work done by related researchers Paul M. Crocker and William H. Coles, Jr. with their books Descendants of William Temple Coles III^[2] and William Temple Coles Family.^[3]. Most currently, Olin has confirmed relation to more than 2800 relatives around the globe!
