I am forming an Ancestor Project on GEDmatch for the Baillet, Balliet, Baliet, Balyeat, Bolyard, Polyard, Polliard, Pollard, and allied surnames descended from three branches of the Huguenot Baillet family. Paulus Balliet (1717-1777) emigrated from France to Whitehall Township, Pennsylvania in 1738. Joseph Balliet (1729-1804) settled in Heidelberg Township, Pennsylvania in 1749. Johannes "John" Balliet (1746-1831) with his family was the first white settler in Sugar Loaf Valley, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1784. Descendants of this these men settled mainly in Pennsylvania and them moved westward to W. VA, OH, IN, and points beyond.

?

DNA Test results uploaded to GEDmatch is required. This ancestor project will assist Baillet/Balliet descendants with connections or with road blocks in research of these allied surnames. There will be 100% privacy. No law enforcement. If you wish to be involved, please respond to me personally at: bailletsurname@...
