wrote on 26 February 2024 at 1:30 am Wow. Just ... wow. Would love to get in touch with you ASAP! My father's name is Terry Allen Belbin. I know very little of our family's heritage. We are in Canada.
Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Wow! Thank you Jonathon. Unfortunately, you did not leave your email address! However, your father has a great name 😃
wrote on 27 September 2021 at 5:41 pm Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Sorry Alain. I do not know the Belbin haplogroup as DNA is one area of genealogy which I am still trying to understand.
wrote on 06 July 2021 at 12:38 am Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin I would be very pleased to see that picture. Are you able to email it? If not, then I can send you my home address. Many thanks. Terry.
wrote on 04 September 2020 at 7:56 pm Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Avril, your grandfather was an interesting man. I am going to do a short article about him on BelbinMania when I get some time 😃
wrote on 04 September 2020 at 6:56 pm I know it's not Belbin family related but my mother Gloria Jean Rolfe when she was very young, used to live in the Belbins house with her parents Dennis and Kathleen Rolfe, Dennis was the owner of Rolfe garage in Romsey.
Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Hi Ana, I know it's a while since you posted this, but if your mother can add to the ROMSEY BELBINS page, I'd be very glad to hear from you. Thanks. Terry.
wrote on 11 August 2019 at 8:35 pm Have Belbins on my father's mother and father's sides in Newfoundland and Labrador. Currently looking into GGG grandfather Rheuben Belbin. Presume his side originally came from Dorset. Love reading about life and times past. 😃
Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Thanks Sharon 😃
wrote on 28 September 2017 at 7:41 am Hello from the Antipodes. I am a descendant of Benjamin Belbin and Mary Rideout. Their grandson, Thomas Rose, came to Australia with his family in 1792 and was one of the first free settlers to arrive in the new colony. We've been here ever since . I'm 7th generation Australian, and my grandchildren 9th generation. Valuable website, so I hope it keeps going. Kind regards. Tony Fallon
Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Thanks Tony. I am determined to keep this site going and have many ideas how to improve it. Problem is I am a self taught website editor and often struggle with the technical aspects. For a period, I almost gave it all up because my former belbin.net domain ISP made everything so incredibly difficult. The rebuilding of BelbinMania at this new domain is now in full swing! Terry 😃

wrote on 29 August 2014 at 4:27 am Hi Terry, Been investigating the Belbin who originated from Christchurch, Hampshire, England, UK, (William Belbin) born 1812. Was a convict, transported to Tasmania, Aust. Do you think there could be a connection with your "mob"? (Family). Regards, Bob, Melbourne, Aust. 😄

wrote on 29 March 2013 at 2:01 am Hi. Just wondering if I have the right family tree. If so.... Can't believe we have our own website... This is amazing :D
wrote on 08 July 2012 at 5:10 pm Hi, Just checking in to see the updates, but I gather its been pretty quiet.. Happy searching... ;-)
Admin Reply by: Terry Belbin Hi Sue, Yes, you are correct! It has been very quiet as I have had almost zero time this year, but I am now catching up. All the best. Terry.
wrote on 27 May 2012 at 9:15 am What a wonderful and informative website, well done. I am a descendant of James Fordham and Lucinda Susan Spencer, their daughter Elizabeth Fordham married Charles Belben in 1853. I have information on the Fordham side of the family if anyone is interested. Does anyone know what happened to Elizabeth and Charles Belben and does anyone have any photos?
wrote on 16 January 2012 at 10:26 pm Hi , I am researching the family tree for my partner Malcolm John Belbin, as he was adopted and given another name. He only found out when his adoptive mother died that he was the illegitimate son of Joan Phyllis Belbin. My genealogist friend has found that he has a very large family in Surrey and the south of England. So we are on a fascinating quest now, Maybe a relative or two on here... An interesting site I will keep looking :-)
wrote on 22 November 2011 at 9:06 pm Good Afternoon, There are not too many Belbins in Canada but I think I am related to most of them. We have family in Kamloops, Quesnel, Edmonton and Moose Jaw. We tried to do a family tree but had some difficulty connecting back to UK. Glad to see someone take the bull by the horns.
wrote on 26 September 2011 at 6:01 pm Hi to all the Belbins from David, Jane and Rebecca. Originally from Poole in Dorset where my Dad was born and brought up (and still lives aged 80). I never knew we were so far flung!
wrote on 31 January 2011 at 4:28 am GREAT website. I'm currently writing my husband's family history, and in doing research came across this website. Thanks so much for the opportunity to post a message. My husband's ancestors came from Hant's Harbour, Newfoundland. One of the persons in the Husson family tree was Emma "Amy" Pitts Husson, who married Henry Marshall Dicen Belbin in 1886. They immigrated to Lynn, MA in 1892. They had at least 8 children: Mildred, Alexander, Hulda, Cecile, William, Florence, Harold, and George. I have some info on each, but would like to learn more. By the way, took a trip to Hant's Harbour in June, 2010, and learned much about the Husson families. Cheers to your website!
