This site originates from Ken Baldry's enquiries about his family & the prompt mushrooming of family contacts that arose from that. Ken is making space available for anyone to contribute links or family tree data, in order that we members of this fairly small family with its limited geographical centre in Suffolk might establish our relationships. He owes many thanks to his third cousin Dennis, who contributed their own family back to 1666-7. This site is by way of a thank-you to Dennis & Patrick Delaforce (who gave Ken his mother's family).

In so far as is possible, the pages will fit on an 800 pixel wide screen. However, some families were so vast that inevitably, the family trees overflow. If you find viewing uncomfortable, down-load the pages you need & print them out, either sideways or anyhow & stick them together. Note that pages change frequently, as more information is flowing in all the time. The Village & County Index page indicates the latest update to each page.

The principle followed is that the family is filed by the earliest date available, both on County pages &, in the case of Suffolk & some Norfolk villages, on village pages. There are some very large families & there is a list of vilages they inhabited at the front of each one. These are worth a look if you are searching for connexions. These are currently (20-2-2006) being elaborated.

Any family member is invited to e-mail Ken or write to the address in the footer if they want to join in the project or simply advertise themselves. Please note that everything Ken finds out goes on this web site but any questions you send him will be posted on the Family Members Requests pages.

Don't be inhibited if you are a Baldrey, Baldrie, Baldree, Bauldree, Boldry etc. You are still a Baldry. Nobody much could spell before about 1870!

How to join the Baldry Family History Society

It's easy. If you are a Baldry, you are already a member. Members who make themselves known to me by e-mail get a newsletter once or twice a year. Your e-mail address is treated as strictly confidential &, if shown on the site e.g. on the Members Enquiry pages, is disguised to prevent spam-bots picking it up. If these do not work in your email program, look at the source to work out what the address really is.

Warning! All the pages are written to conform to the World Wide Web standards in XHTML, most of them to fit on 800px wide screens, although a few are set for 1024px wide screen. Unfortunately, some browsers are not standard. Some pages crash Internet Explorer (which disobeys standards & this site looks terrible in it) & Netscape 4 is a disaster.
For best results, use Mozilla Firefox (download from here).
Apple's new Safari (Mac only) is quite good & Opera is ok but misses out some features.

Contact: Ken Baldry for more information, but please bear in mind that everything he finds out goes straight on the web
