My Balch Lineage

My immigrant ancester was John Balch of Somerset, England who settled at Beverly Mass., I am an eleventh generation descendent of John Balch. I have been researching family lines for twenty years and have accumulated a considerable amount of valuable material. There are however, some key facts that have alluded me for years and I have created this blog in hopes that someone in the New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York area may be able to fill in these facts and be interested in exchanging information.



The following lineage has been taken from the Balch book:
