Welcome! My name is Gary Bastin, and I have been researching the BASTIN family since about 1967. This website provides a recent snapshot of my offline database, and lists descendants (with spouses), and ancestors (when known) for Thomas and Hannah Bastin of Caswell County, NC. Thomas died in January 1817, and Hannah in October 1834. Their descendants account for the majority of BASTINs alive today in Kentucky, and in several neighboring states.
Since the sons of Thomas and Hannah Bastin all migrated to Kentucky in the early 1800's, this database also contains nearly 800 surnames of individuals who 'married into the family', and attempts to list all their descendants up to the present. If you have ancestors in Kentucky, especially in the Counties of Lincoln, Pulaski, Wayne, Casey, Barren, Adair, Metcalfe, Hart, Edmonson, Muhlenberg, and other nearby counties, there is a good chance that you have a family connection with this database!
I am also the list administrator for the BASTIN Family Discussion List, which is a free genealogical e-mail list for individuals researching the family lines contained in this database. This website is both my homepage and the official website of the BASTIN-L list. (What is a BASTIN-L?) Of the 100+ current subscribers, approximately 60+ are researching the lines in this database. The mailing list also is for BASTINs worldwide, as well as for various spelling variations of the BASTIN surname. Our common goal is to link as many of the BASTIN and related-spelling family lines as we can! The searchable BASTIN-L Archive contains many messages from 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 and is an excellent way to read what we have found!
Enjoy your visit! Please e-mail if you see corrections or have additions! Updates are made about twice a year to this online database. For privacy reasons, dates for living relatives are never published here.
This database would not have been possible without the earlier work by the late Dr. Harold Eugene 'Gene' Ragle and by Alexa, Wanda, Richard, and Eldred; and by the ongoing work of our online cousins Nell, Ray, Sue, Shari, Kathy, Eldred (again!), Larry, Nancy, Jeri, Don, and all the others who have contributed to this effort over the years through recording and sharing our family's history! THANKS!
There are 4098 individuals and 1504 families
representing 848 surnames in this database.
