Blair Genealogy

This site provides information on Blair genealogy in general and the roots and history of my Blair ancestors who immigrated from Scotland to Vermont and New Hampshire in particular. The site contains a searchable database of over 11,600 Blair births and christenings and over 6,800 Blair marriages in Scotland between 1550 and 1880. It also contains detailed information on working with the Church of Latter Day Saints Family History Center Old Parish Records (LDS-FHC) OPRs, a listing of almost 200 BLAIR publications, Other Blair Families (submitted by other Blair researchers) and links to other BLAIR sites.

The BLAIR DNA Project is an independent project undertaken by Blairgenealogy.com. For all the details and information on participating, click below.

Vermont Blairs is a new sub-site of Blair Genealogy, providing information on Blairs of Vermont. This site currently contains Blair census data for 1790 through 1840, Blairs in the Civil War, Blair Vital Records, and Blair Cemetery Information. I will continue to update this site as I get new information. If you have an interest in Blairs in Vermont, click below.

My ancestry dates back to Stirlingshire Scotland, in the early 1700s. My earliest known Blair ancestor is Donald Blair born about 1700. The first of our Blairs to come to America was Donald's grandson, Robert Blair, who came to Vermont in 1785. His nephew Peter Blair, my gr-gr grandfather came to Vermont in the 1830s. We have found letters from Robert's father, John Blair, and other Blair family members in Scotland to Robert in Vermont, dated between 1786 and 1816.

We hope that other Blairs, descendants of Blairs, and those who are familiar with Blair families find this information helpful and can fill in many of the missing branches of the Blair family tree.
