Hi Patrick. It would be wholly appropriate and my pleasure to add info on your Blau Family to our NBFA website. I will send you an email and perhaps we can work on a way to exchange info! Best regards, Ted Blew. NBFA Online Communications.

Location is Clarke County VA. I assume CCHA is Clarke County Historical Assoc.

I found this on ancestry.com:

Thanks, Carol. Others have expressed interest in posting additional family data. I intend to develop a website feature to enable that and will try to have something ready by this fall. In the meantime, I will look for a marriage record for Hannah and Joseph :).

Hi Carol. As you've discovered, William Blue's 'Descendants of John Blaw (Blue)', the source of our website family histories, does not list Hannah's descendants, even though it does include later generations for her brothers James, John, Uriah and David. I found numerous public trees on ancestry.com that list Hannah's children. Have you looked there or at the other genealogy sites? Best regards, Ted Blew.

Hi Heidi. I'm happy to hear you found some useful info in the 'Scottish Blues' section of our website. Do you know if the Malcolm Blue [S4] farm near Fayetteville, Cumberland Co., NC, is still owned by his descendants, as claimed in his bio? Best regards, Ted Blew.

Hi Jeffrey. One way to get ideas for your visit is to read through the reports from the NBFA Romney Reunions for 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2016. You can find these in the 'Reunions' section of this website, under the 'More' menu. Per Nancy's suggestion, I will email you Ephraim's email address. Have a great trip and, if you are ever in the NJ area, I will be happy to provide a guided tour of the Blaw sites :). Best, Ted [Edwin] Blew.

Hi JD. All good questions, thanks for asking. I'll offer brief answers here and we can discuss further if needed. 1) Official membership/dues for NBFA has been suspended until we can find volunteers to take the leadership positions [Pres, VP, etc.] vacated in early 2020 (any interest?); I'll take a look at your NBFA # and try to verify via the 'Descendants' reference. 2) 'Descendants' is not currently downloadable or available for purchase. I am trying to get permission for that from the author, Bill Blue. 3) Bill Blue has not published the 6th edition. 4) I will be creating a section on the website for user-contributed genealogical info; will let you know when it's ready. 5) No current reunion plans; that will be a priority if we can establish new leadership. 6) I like the DNA idea but not sure how to proceed. Suggestions? Best, Ted :) eoblew@gmail.com

Thanks JD Cowell, you made my day! I welcome all suggestions for adding content and improving this website :).

Hi Ryan. Great to hear from a cousin across the border! Have you found your Blue ancestors in the Dutch Genealogy section of our website? If not, let me know and I can help with that. I come from the Blew's that migrated from NJ to the anthracite coal region of PA [Schuylkill County] and haven't wandered too far from there :). Best, Ted.

Estella, thanks for the feedback, always appreciated! I see we're related through siblings Sarah Blew [b.ca.1792] and Levi Blew [b.1784]. Do you have any more info on Sarah? The family tree only shows her birth date as ca.1792 and no date of death. Thx, Ted Blew.

Thanks Carolyn, for passing the word about the References :).

John, per your suggestion, I posted all the Reference Notes in the Dutch Genealogy section of our website. Enjoy!

Hi Kasey! Just saw your post. Yes, I've done the Ancestry and 23Me test and, I agree, it's a bit bewildering. Luckily, I do see some of my known 1st and 2nd cousins in the lists. I see we are related through brothers Michael [1.3] and Frederick [1.5] Blaw so we should appear somewhere in the DNA results. Anyway, great to 'see' you here and my regards to your mother 😀. ted. ps/thanks for the positive feedback on the website!

Hmmm. Not much to go on. Did you search through the sections of the 'Descendants' on this website? I looked but could not find Marie Robertson. Do you have birth/death years for John and/or David? Best, ted.

John, fair question. Will get back ASAP.

Thx John. Glad you've found the Descendants data to be useful. The info has not been updated since 2003 and the latest is what's been posted on the site. I am pursuing permission to post the full document but cannot do so now. Keep in touch, Ted eoblew@gmail.com.

Thanks John, enjoy the site! Which branch of the Schuylkill Blew's are you connected to? Regards, Ted :).
