Luallin Genealogy

Welcome to putting the pieces of our history together. Two blogs exist for displaying what I've learned about our family name:  luallin.blogspot.com, contains lineage, and the lore, bios, pictures, etc. are at luallin1.blogspot.com.  This information is gathered from census, bibles, death registries, word of mouth, email/letter notifications, and perhaps some assumptions. 

The surname Luallin and perhaps Luallen is believed to be the phonetic spelling offered by immigration clerks as illiterate Llewellyn Welsh immigrants were processed. Often other officials documented the family members with their own spellings through dealings with the census and the civil war. The first Luallin I found was in the 1790 census in SC...he was from Prussia. I later found family in Ashe county NC, TN, and VA.

The purpose of this blog is to show what we have discovered through talking to other family members and share information. This is a good way to show lineage, pictures, and interesting stories we know. Facebook has a group site for the name under Luallins, and we hope to share email addresses and any other data you may wish to share. Send me anything you would like posted. My email: luallinl@verizon.net, phone: (757) 499-4968

My name is Lloyd E. Luallin, and I look forward to hearing from you.
