Paul was born in 1956, the fourth of seven children raised by Gene and Marjorie Bailey. Gene and Marge each served in the U.S. Navy during WW2 and met while attending Indiana University via the GI Bill. Gene became an accountant and was working for the Internal Revenue Service in Gary, Indiana when Paul was born. Gene earned his CPA certificate and the family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana where Gene joined a public accounting firm, eventually becoming a partner. Following in his father's footsteps, Paul attended IU, became a CPA and started a public accounting career in Fort Wayne.
In 1982, Paul married Nancy McArdle and they produced two children. Julie Anne was born in 1987 and Timothy Ross in 1991. In 1997. the family moved to Northwest Indiana when Paul assumed a management role with the accounting firm where he remained for ten years. He finished his public accounting career in Indianapolis, IN. Paul married and divorced a second time.
Beginning in 2012, Gene and Paul lived together in Zionsville, IN along with Paul's sister Lisa. Both Paul and Gene are retired partners of the regional accounting firm BKD. Gene passed away in 2018 at age 96 and Lisa later moved to Florida.
Paul's ancestors on his father Gene's side consist of four primary groups:
1) English (Bailey, Pettus, Cocke, Clay, Filmer, Green) who arrived at Jamestown, VA as early as 1610, some of whom gradually migrated to southside VA and later, to many places including Indiana;
2) English (Bayless, Lake, Stout, Williamson, Throckmorton) who arrived as part of the Puritan migration to New England but then, to escape their autocracy, settled on Long Island and mixed with the Dutch (Newkirk), many resettled in New Jersey after the Brits claimed NY;
3) German immigrants (Kiger, Styers, Pfaff, Reich, Leinbach, Moser, Tuttle, Petree, Hege) arriving as early as 1710 as part of the great Palatine migration and during the midcentury wave of immigration to Pennsylvania; and who migrated to near Winston Salem, North Carolina in the mid 1700s and;
4) Scotch Irish (Bell, Kerr, Kennedy, Grist) many of whom came to Pennsylvania the Carolinas in the aftermath of the squashed Irish Rebellion of 1798
Many of Gene's mother's ancestors came to Indiana when it was still a wilderness. His parents met when his father came to Indiana in the early 1900s to work on a tobacco farm and trade horses.
Paul's mother's family (Schnelker, Sorg, Schlinck) were German (Hanover) Catholic immigrants some of whom were Forty-Eighters. They migrated to Fort Wayne and nearby New Haven, IN.
Gene's father was the third of twenty children while Marge's father was one of eighteen children (although only nine survived to adulthood).
According to YDNA tests taken by my father and me reveal that my Bailey (came to VA) and my Bayless (came to Long Island via NE) have a common ancestor. I suspect that they took separate paths during the English Civil War.

Do you know if they have WikiTree profiles?
Thanks for becoming pre-1700 certified. Now that you will be working on older profiles you will find yourself collaborating more with others. The best way to do this is by joining a project. Have a look at our list of pre-1700 projects and see if any are of interest to you. Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Thanks, Susie :-)
How do I change/upgrade my DNA results. I have the results back from my BIG-Y. I'm a R -Z8 Haplogroup.
You are now a member of the WikiTree Community.
We are building one Collaborative Tree which means one profile per person. It is important to check for duplicates as you add any Profiles to WikiTree - the software automatically helps with this.
If you need any help, visit the G2G forum. You might want to check out the introductory WikiTree video that a member created.
Our Mentor Team are a friendly bunch of volunteers who will be glad to help you.
Jamestown ancestors - that is wonderful! Thanks for offering to help build our shared tree.

Did you know we have a Project for DNA where a lot of great new things are happening? It has information listed that might be of interest to you, and feel free to contact any of the members if you would like additional details.
If you just want to explore and search for relatives or family information you can do that as a guest without volunteering.
To help you with your search, check out the Find button. Clicking the Matches for familyor the Surnames buttons may show you the way to some family info or connections.
In the Help area you can post questions in the G2G forum. We have a lot of people who are willing to help. Just ask. Good Luck.
I learned that most of his ancestors going back five to six generations have been in the United States going back to the first permanent English settlement at Jamestown, VA.
I noticed you uploaded a GEDCOM. Here's a link to a great step-by-step of the process including screenshots that you might find helpful. step-by-step of the process
The help pages give lots of information about the process, best to start with 'Before you import a GEDCOM'.
When you've got a moment can you just say hello and introduce yourself and verify that you wish to be confirmed as a full contributing member.
