Bailes Family History, With the Booklet Still at the Center
An interactive family archive built around Samuel Eldridge Bailes’s 1963 history booklet, its scans, transcription, family tree, and timeline.
- For
- Bailes relatives and family-history researchers
- Worth noticing
- Unclear handwriting is marked in brackets rather than silently reconstructed.
Field notes
The archive separates source handling from interpretation: visitors can compare the scanned leaves with a transcription, while uncertain handwritten wording remains explicitly marked. Its timeline links family events to places, work, wars, and wider historical periods, and the map extends from Samuel’s family toward later Kenyon generations. Two Library of Congress photographs provide period context, with the page clearly noting that they are not photographs of Bailes relatives.
