Surnames: Whaley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iRB.2ACE/603.2 Message Board Post: My Great Grandfather's name was Robert Whaley who was married in St.Landry Parish, Louisiana in 1843. His father's name was John Whaley and his mother's name was Polly Balding, both from the state of New York, USA. The name of John Whaley was then traced to England. Are you possibly a relative of that John Whaley?
