About the Project

The Clan Paisley Database Project was initiated in 2017. The purpose of the database is to digitally preserve genealogical information on all persons surnamed Paisley (by any recognized spelling, i.e. Peasley, Paslay, Pasley, etc.), and all their descendants. Currently, the database contains information on over 123,000 persons, including over 1.25 million vital records, plus scanned photographs, historical documents, military records, etc. All the individuals are arranged in family trees – at this time there are 18 separate family trees contained in the database (down from 20 due to consolidation). This is an active project; so, additional genealogical information, and additional family trees, are regularly added.
