Baisden.org began as a personal effort to make sure my family’s history doesn’t disappear.
Like many families, our story isn’t contained within a single last name. It spans generations, countries, marriages, and branches that don’t always show up neatly in records. Over time, names change, details fade, and stories get lost. I realized that if no one intentionally gathered and preserved what we know, much of it would eventually be gone.
This site is my attempt to change that.
While the name Baisden anchors this project, it represents more than a surname. It represents lineage, connection, and the responsibility of remembering the people who came before us—whether or not they carried the same last name.
Here you’ll find family trees, notes, photographs, and records that trace relationships across generations. Some entries are complete. Others are still in progress. That’s intentional. This is not a polished monument—it’s a living record, built carefully and honestly over time.
I’m sharing this publicly not because every detail is finished, but because history doesn’t need to be perfect to be meaningful. What matters is that it’s preserved, accessible, and grounded in truth.
If you’re family, I hope this helps you see where we come from more clearly. If you’re not, I hope it shows how personal history can be documented with care and respect—and why it matters.
This site will continue to evolve. Stories may be added. Corrections may be made. That’s part of the process.
Thank you for being here and taking the time to explore our history.
