AFamily Tree of the BARNUM/BARNHAM Family WorldwideClick toEnlargeThis site was developed as a way of
sharing information about Barnum family lines of descent, from our early
English forebears down to the present, and to provide a place for living
members of the family to add their own information. It is intended as a
reference site for anyone who is researching the genealogy of the Barnum,
Barnam and Barnham families worldwide and is available 24 hours a day from
anywhere in the world. Thanks are due to many family members and relations who
have unselfishly shared their own information and research for the benefit of
other researchers.
Here you'll find farmers and
businessmen, soldiers and sailors, masters of the manor and indentured servants,
Medal of Honor recipients and deserters, murderers and suicides, and thousands
of people just like you and me. Some of them lived their entire lives without
straying five miles from home, while others traveled the world over and lived
lives filled with adventure. They all had one thing in common, though, they
were our ancestors and our cousins!
The vast majority of the Barnum
families of North America are descended from Thomas BARNUM (1625-1695), the
immigrant ancestor, and their lines of descent are well represented here. Some
of the English members of the Barnham family, from which Thomas is believed to
have descended, are also present and there should be clues on this site to help
in tracing the majority of Barnum lines of descent.
Enjoy
your visit, and come back often!
