I have also just begun researching my family tree. Don't know if I'm related to these Balkams. The farthest I can find back is Ellory Channing Balkam--anyone know anything past him?

Balkam in Maine

Josanne2001 — 2001-08-13 20:12:10Z

Look for any information for Balkam in Eastport, Maine or surrounding areas. My gg grandmother was Suzanne Clair Balkam she married David MacLoud Varney Jan. 20,1905. Their children were Albert Michener Varney and Agnus Varney. Any info will be great.

Josanne2001 — 2001-08-13 20:12:10Z

This is so great you have no idea (or maybe you do] the difficult time I have been having finding Balkams. Jeannie is still alive she I believe is in a Nursing home or rest home in Bangor, Maine she is in her nineties and my dad goes to see her on occasion. I remember always going over to Jeannie's house all the time when I saw Aggie. Please email me at Jomvh@aol.com I would love to talk with you Balkam I think had a lot to do with Aggie's house on Key Street in Eastport.

I have copies of the Balkam
geneaology back to Alexander Balkam, "immigrant ancestor ...in Portsmouth
(RI) as early as January 31, 1664".

General John Balkam, forn in Attleborough, MA, 1770 "..probably changed the form of the name from Balcombe to Balkam. There is a village in England north of Brighton named Balcombe.

I was born in Quincy, MA, my father. Gilbert, in Hyde Park, MA, his father,
Stephen, in Robbinston, ME.

Okay, forget the "III"; I forgot that was a joke we used to pull on Bydie when I was a kid. Sorry. Anyway, here's what I've know so far:

Charles Morris (b. 1860 d. 1932) married Mary Balkam (b. 1862 d. ?). Her brother, William (b. 1860 d. 1933) married a woman named Sadie (last name unk) and they had four children: Byron, Jean, Alec, and George. I know that Bydie and Jeannie never had any children, living together and taking care of each other long after their parents had died. Now, Charles Morris and Mary Balkam Morris had four children: Ellen, Virginia, John, and Alice. John married Georgia McInnes. They were my mother's parents/my maternal grandparents. I'm not sure how the Varney side of the family fits into all of this.

Byron K. Balkam, III and his sister Jeannie were relatives of mine. My brothers and I used to spend summers in and around Eastport when we were kids. I attended his funeral in 1973 with my mother but we haven't been in contact with anyone in Eastport since then. I don't know if his sister is still alive or not. We called Byron 'Bydie' (sp?) and he and Jeannie were cousin of some degree. Agnus was my 'aunt' but I'm not sure of the lineage at this hour of the night. Would love to converse with you on this further. I'll have to call my mom for more info. We are related through her side of the family. Her father was John Albert Morris (buried in the Eastport cemetary) and Georgia Alice McInnes Morris.
