Welcome to the Barber Family Genealogical Site

Barbers of NE Suffolk (England) and Guelph (Ontario, Canada)

(and many and various other related family-branches)

 

In the last 31 years I have pursued the hobby of family genealogy with great joy, searching meticulously and stumbling luckily upon information, people, pictures and places. I have explored, retrieved, gleaned, and stored information in file after file, often randomly and with various (often unsuccessful) attempts at organization.

I have loved the chase and the finds. I now have gathered a huge composite-mix of well-researched and 'proveable' material (and other data that is more-speculative ).

For the Barber Family material, I am greatly indebted to a distant cousin, Mr. Donald Caddick for much of the research that traces the descendants of James Barber (1434 - 1489) through to James Barber (1778 - 1808) - and the latter's descendants. My line departs from the research of Donald Caddick at the latter James Barber, as I am descended through James' brother, Robert Barber (1747 - 1815). Where possible, I have acknowledged Donald's research, and that of others, in my notes. Donald passed away in July of 2003.

Murray Barber, another distant cousin - from Christchurch, New Zealand, has connected with me several times on-line. It was he who put me in touch with Donald Caddick's research.

I have visited various sites in the UK and Ireland now on four occasions and of course hope to get there again - as part of this great pursuit.

I've gradually added information, as well, of my wife Jane's side. Perhaps several sites could be linked respectively. But for now . . .
