WELCOME TO THE BAYLISS LINE. This blog has been created for my family. By "my family" I mean all those who are related to the Bayliss family either by blood, marriage or even relationship. There are, of course, other Bayliss families not related to us but this blog has at its heart a very specific family who had their origins in Gloucestershire. I am connected to that family because my mother was a Bayliss and it was her curiosity that started my research back in the early 1990's. So, what are you likely to see on this blog? Well, as it is a blog, I want it to be as entertaining as possible rather that a dry listing of facts (that is for Ancestry.com). I will, hopefully, be posting entries on our ancestors and relatives, on the places where they lived, and the historical times they lived through. I have an extensive collection of photographs of people and places which I will, of course, be sharing.

I'd like to ask anybody who reads this blog to give me some feedback. I'd really like this to be a two way thing. It sometimes unearths new information and, to be honest, it gives me encouragement. There will be two ways of providing feedback - either through the comment button (you will need a Google account for this) or via the e-mail address which appears on this page - alternatively, ring me. Now scroll down to read the latest entries.....and, of course, via Facebook.

GOOD NEWS FROM DOWN UNDER


Good news from Australia! This morning I spoke to cousin Iris in Australia. Now everybody in the family are in touch again. There are a few people I'm not in direct contact with but we know where they are through their parents or brothers and sisters. This blog has been more successful than I ever dreamed and finding that so many people are now linked in one way or another has been a wonderful bonus. I'm sure everybody here in England (not forgetting those in Italy, New Zealand and Spain) send their best wishes to Iris, Mike and their son Graham.
