Welcome to the Bolch One Name Study

About the Project

The Bolch Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Bolch 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 Bolch name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual team studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Bolchs), by time period (18th Century Bolchs), or by topic (Bolch DNA, Bolch Occupations, Bolch 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.

Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

Bolch One Name Study Goals

The objective of this study is to identify all Bolch, Bolick, Bolich cousins. The sort out the brickwalls and find solutions.

What You Can Do

  1. Work cooperatively together with other Bolch profile managers to create the best Bolch tree possible.
  2. Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources to Bolch profiles.
  3. Write comprehensive, well-sourced biographies for Bolch profiles.
  4. Check for duplicates and request merges.
  5. Contact Sarah to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge.
  6. If you are a male with the Bolch surname or a variant and haven't already, please consider testing your yDNA through the Bolch FamilyTreeDNA Project (link below) so that we can all have a better understanding of our heritage and possibly make new discoveries.

I have Bolch family in two lines of my tree. There seems to be a great deal of confusion about the spelling of Bolch profiles, particularly those in North Carolina. The same person can appear on different records with the spelling Bolch / Bolick / Bolck. These variations do not seem to be showing int he suggested matches list. They all seem to be descended from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bolch-4. Right now, there are a great number of duplicates. I am happy to work at fixing these, but would like a consensus on naming standards moving forwards. What I propose, is that where there are multiple spellings, we use Bolch as the LNAB, and Bolick as an alternative last name. This would hopefully prevent duplicates moving forwards.

I'll leave this on here for a week to see what you think, after which I'll move it to G2G to get the community's input.

Thanks for your help, Susie :-)
