About the Project
The Bishop Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Bishop name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Bishop name.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Bishop's), by time period (18th Century Bishop's), or by topic (Bishop DNA, Bishop Occupations, Bishop Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants.

I suspect both their family lines originated in Surry Co., Va., but Theodrick may have been from Albemarle Co., Va. (but I think he was from Albemarle Parish, Surry Co.). Thanks, Cindy

My 9x great-grandfather is James Bishop-184 (1625-1691), New Haven. Our haplogroup is I-FT143024, downstream from I-Y6649 >> I-M223. Looking to discover James' paternity.
I have many questions and am anxious to see if after all of these years, I might actually be finding answers.
Your friend and possible relative...

I also created a redirect, so Project:Bishop (the link for the button from the Bishop surname page) brings you to this page.
Cheers, Liz
