I am Julia Balliett. Do you have the book published in 1968 by Stephen Clay Balliett, "The Balliet, Balliett, Balliette, Balyeat, Bolyard, and Allied Families"? It tells a lot. We are generally descended from 3 Frenc- German Cousins who seetled in PA in the mid 1700's. I have seen some info on the net regarding some who went to Quebec in the 1600's but I do not know their sources. The book mentioned above has an extensive bibliography that is well documented. The book may have very limited pubication. My father and his two brothers' families have copies.
