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.

BEN BOOTH AND HIS BIRDS

I like, on occasions, to publish on this blog, recent interesting pictures of the family when they come my way.
Historical pictures are fascinating but our present lives are the extensions of those of the people in those old pictures. Our ancestors live in us and our photos are the historic pictures of tomorrow. I hope one day future generations will study our pictures with as much interest as we study theirs.

The pictures below really knocked me out when I saw them. They show my cousin Ben Booth (1st cousin once removed) who is a Falconer with the birds he looks after. I think they are amazing pictures and well worth sharing.




THAT HAS GOT TO BE A FIRST IN THE FAMILY!
