About the Project

The Bodley Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Bodley 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 Bodley 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 Bodleys), by time period (18th Century Bodleys), or by topic (Bodley DNA, Bodley Occupations, Bodley 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.

Additional Objectives for Bodley Name Study

1. To determine if families are connected.
2. To trace each family back to the original colonists.
3. To continue family lines back to England to discover origin of name.
