| Blackledges in America | Approximately
90% of
all Blackledge/Blacklidge surnames and descendants in the United States
derive from one of four primary progenitor lines dating back to the
early 17th and 18th centuries. A team of three researchers has
worked since 1996 to compile this genealogy on
Blackleach/Blackledge/Blacklidge families in America. You can locate
