Welcome to our Bilbo, Bilboa, Bilboe and Bilbow family history.
The site has been created by family descendants for the various branches to collaborate in capturing, recording and preserving the family history. We've details from around the world on over 4,000 individuals, linked into about 2,000 families. Applying the elements of The Genealogical Proof Standard, nearly all the families can be traced back to just the few Branches detailed. Branches
The site is part of a wider One-name Study. There are also details on places and things with the name. Together we can find and preserve histories, documents, add some photographs, and other bits and pieces from the past that help preserve the memory of our ancestors.
You are welcome to copy images from this site, provided they are for your own use and no commercial gain; all we ask is that you cite the source and please reciprocate by sending us a photo or story. Don't think you have anything to contribute? How about a selfie or few words to let us know your interest in the Bilbo families. Don't want to mess up a precious photo in frame to scan it? Not a problem, just take a photo and send it to us. It is many small contributions of a photo or story that are making the web-site so much more than a family tree and an archive we can be proud honours our ancestors.
We can also be contacted at bilbow@one-name.org please send family stories or pictures we can add to the site.

NOTES
I use Family Historian on my computer to record data and have created this website using TNG software. If you run into any problem with the software PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Not all the information on these pages is authenticated as yet, although many Bilbo/a/e/w researchers have put a tremendous amount of effort over many years and many others have contributed smaller but no less valuable amounts of data. If you find errors, have feedback, or can offer additional information, please forward it for inclusion in the project. You can suggest changes to most records using the Suggest tab or contact us through the contact page.
You are welcome to any of the data on this site but if you would like a picture or document image, please contact me first as most have been donated by others like yourselves.
