Welcome to BelbinMania
BelbinMania is a family history and genealogy website containing a database of Belbin family trees; extensive records of UK births, marriages and deaths; ideas on the origin of the Belbin surname; articles and gossip about anyone or anywhere past or present carrying the Belbin name as well as a gallery of assorted Belbin images from across the decades.
The use of the BELBIN surname throughout this website also refers where applicable to any other variant of the name as all variants are of interest. Please see below for details of The Belbin One-Name Study.
Please note that this website is a personal project and not a commercial one. The intention is for all information and data to be accurate but inevitably errors will creep in, so please feel free to get in touch with Terry Belbin if you spot anything which looks wrong or if you would like to make any contributions or have any comments or queries. All enquiries are welcome.
The Belbin One-Name Study
The BELBIN surname is one of some 8,200 study surnames registered with The Guild of One-Name Studies, a London based charitable organisation dedicated to promoting the public understanding of one-name studies and the preservation and accessibility of the resultant information.
The BELBIN One-Name Study registered under membership No. 2,417 is a project researching facts about the surname and all the people who have held it, as opposed to a particular pedigree or descendancy and I am collecting data from anyone and anywhere in order to be able to publish this information for the benefit of not only people who are currently interested in the name, but also with the aim of trying to preserve it for future generations.
It is a huge project in spite of the fact that the BELBIN surname is a rare one and anyone who wishes to assist with it by contributing information about the Belbins can contact me via e-mail or via the Guild website. The following variants of the name are all of interest:
BALBAN
BALBYN
BAYLBYN
BELB
BELBBEN

BELBINE
BELBMAN
BELBON
BELBONE
