Welcome to the Abou Rjeily Family Website

Back to the main page

This site is the result of research I conducted on my family's roots two decades ago. It consolidates the information I gathered about the family from various sources. The Abou Rjeily family originally hails from Mount Lebanon in the 17th century and has since spread across continents. All Abou Rjeilys worldwide are descendants of Atallah Abou Rjeily, who lived around 1712. Atallah had four sons: Elias, Farès, Yaghi, and Dib. The Abou Rjeily name is spelled differently across countries: In Lebanon and Canada: Abou Rjeily, Bourjeily, Abourgely, Bourgely, Bourgeili, Bou Rjaili In the USA: Bourjaily, Aborjaily In Brazil: Abou-Rejaile (Habramoun, xxx), Bourjeily (Bhamdoun, Ivaipora), Abou Rjaili (Bhamdoun, Sao Paulo), Borjaille (xxx, Vila Velha - State of Espirito Santo) In Cuba: Aborlleile In Argentina: Aburllaily (Wadi Bnehley, Tucuman), Burllaile (Kfar Zabad, Buenos Aires, and Mar Del Plata), Buryaile (Kfar Zabad, Buenos Aires, and Mar Del Plata), and Aburgeily (Cordoba, not yet connected to the family tree). A Facebook family group can be accessed at this link. A graphical family tree and index can be accessed at this link. The family tree is updated online. If you would like to add yourself to it, please contact the site administrator, Joseph Abou Rjeily. I am Joseph Iskandar Kaisar Elias Mitri Abdallah Yared Naoum Nemr Fares Atallah Abou Rjeily.
