Seeing as how we all seem to have common interest in some very similar family names, perhaps there is someone who can add to my information of the Blau family line from northern Kentucky/southwestern Ohio? My line of Blau came over from Prussia in 1843 and settled in the Camp Springs, Kentucky area. They then gradually moved north, first to the Cincinnati area including Hamilton, Ohio, then even more northwards towards Cleveland, Ohio. There are branches that I am currently trying to track down that moved down to Alabama after the Civil War, also. And maybe in this process I can help someone else in their searches! Stranger things have happened. 😎

Hello all, I have just joined this site and am looking forward to learning more about my Blue family roots. Hannah was my 4X great grandmother, and I see from the genealogy that my line stops with her. Is there a way to include more information about her descendants?

Hi-thanks for accepting me to the group. I've traced my family to Malcolm John Blue, one if not the earliest Blue emigrant families from Argyll, Scotland. I'm stuck there and looking for information now on his relatives in Scotland. 2nd issue: I see his lineage report on this site stops at Daniel Angus Blue (4th generation) (my great grandfather). I have more information on DA Blue and his family line if anyone is interested.

I am offering to give free, guided, half-day tours of the early Blaw/Blauw-family settlement area near present-day Blawenburg, New Jersey. These tours will basically replicate, in a compressed format, the NBFA New Jersey Reunion visits held in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2018 [see 'More|Reunions' on this website]. Small groups of 2 to 4 persons are preferred. If interested, contact me at eoblew@gmail.com.
