To the WADE, WAIDE, WAAD, or WAID Researchers:
While researching your specific line of Wade's, I'm sure you have come across a
Wade that could not be connected to your family or you have an illusive Wade that seems to
have vanished in thin air.
This a project by amateur genealogists who want to learn as much as we can about our
ancestors, the Wade's. Our intention is to compile the information and share it with
anyone who would like a copy of it for free of charge.
This project has three (3) goals:
1. Several Wade's arrived in America along the Atlantic coast in the early
1600's. It is strongly believed that most of these Wade's were related. We would
like to compile information or lineages on these individuals and this may lead us to their
relationships and their origins. If they are already included in "The Wade
Genealogy" by Stuart Charles Wade, they have a lineage established, however if they
are not in this book, but arrived onto the Atlantic coast of the states, please let us
know and we will include them in the "Wade Project".
2. The second goal is to create a lineage for each of these Wade's. This is where we
connect that extra Wade we found doing research or find that illusive Wade that vanished.
We also hope to find some leads to the parentage of our oldest family member, Edward Wade,
born circa 1611.
3. The ultimate goal is to create the most comprehensive database of Wade's in the
United States including any spelling of WADE, WAADE, WAID or WAIDE.
Following is a list of those early Wade's that came from London to Virginia, but if
you have another Wade, not on the list, we would like to have any information you have to
possibly connect them.

If you are a descendant of one of these or any Wade's, will you help and send your
information to June Nevar
( jnevar(a)attbi.com ). In the subject line please put your ancestor's name, birth date
and ship name ( ex. Edward Wade, b. 1610/11, Paul ). This will help us keep the
information on your lineage in the correct file.
Please include documentation, such as wills, deeds, census, etc. or a source location for
your documentation.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you in advance for your help with the "Wade Project."
