The Bailey Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Bailey name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Bailey name. As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (Irish Bailey), by time period (18th Century Bailey), or by topic (Bailey DNA, Bailey Occupations, Bailey Military, Bailey Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

How to Join

You can join the Bailey One name studies by adding and . My concentration has been on the Pennsylvania Bailey Pioneer linage, but I invite other linages. So far, I have identified and mapped An Irish linage (Quaker and Refugees), German/Swiss (Amish) and English (Quaker). Another Pioneer linages are Massachusetts (Puritan) and Virginia (Jamestown) and I am sure there are others. The Bailey surname has been recorded under different variations: Baehli, Baillie, Bailie, Bayly, Bayley, Baley, Ballye, and Bayyllie.

The first portal will record the name among other Bailey’s for easy reference back to them, and to follow lead of family members by birth and death place. The second portal gives you access to Watchlist Page. Originally when I started I had thought to limit my scope on just Centre County, Pennsylvania and the town of Baileyville, but through the years my interest and study has expanded to include all of Pennsylvania. However, I invite others, from other areas to participate, if they so desire Please feel to contribute anything you wish (including Correction to the Name Study, no matter the linage or family origins.

Please contact the project leader Lawrence Bailey or post a comment at the foot of the page. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks!
