This site was developed as a listing of the known Barnum lines of descent, from the immigrant ancestor Thomas BARNAM (1625-1695) and his English forebears, down through the present. It's intended to serve as a reference site for anyone who is researching the genealogy of the Barnum, Barnam and Barnham families worldwide, although the majority of our family's lines of descent developed in either England or North America.

The data found here may be used as a general index of Barnum lines, for research concerning any line of descent from Thomas BARNAM or his English ancestors. Information is included for more than 10,000 individuals, and there should be clues to help in tracing virtually any Barnum line of descent.

As newly-published information becomes available, and as more and more BARNUM "cousins" share their data, the files continue to grow. There have been many contributors to the information found here, and I've done my best to provide correct citations for those contributions. If you are researching any BARNUM or allied line of descent, I hope you will find data to help you in your search. I also hope that you will share your information and help to make this site increasingly more valuable for future researchers.

As I said, this site is intended as a research tool. It will best serve that purpose if it is as accurate and complete as possible. If you find errors that should be corrected, please contact me via E-Mail at the address given below for the BARNUM Family Webmaster. I will post corrections and additions as quickly as possible after I receive them.

You're welcome here! I hope you enjoy your visit and find something helpful to your research. Please sign the guest book at the bottom of this page, and feel free to leave specific comments about the site at the comment link below. If you'd like to view a brief introduction, with information concerning the immigrant ancestor Thomas BARNAM and our famous (or infamous) relation Phineas Taylor "P.T." BARNUM, click here.

I recently purchased a copy of the Holy Bible, printed in 1752 in Edinburgh, Scotland by Adrian Watkins, the King's Printer. On a blank page opposite the New Testament title page is handwritten data for the family of

Thomas BARNAM (1722-1792)

who is a previously-undocumented member of the Barnum Family. Click HERE to view a sample scan of this newly-discovered family information. The data for Thomas, his wife Judeth [sic] and their 16 children has been posted to the Barnum Family Genealogy site.
