This section of the web site contains work by a number of different researchers, and notes on:
– Surnames that have familial relationships with Yeos
– Yeos in various places and professions
– The most common surname variants.
While the Yeo surname originated at various places in south-west England [note 1], it and the variants covered by this study have spread across the British Isles. They have also spread around the world. The most common route for this has been through emigration, so there are large numbers of Yeos in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. We have also been able to find – or have been told about – Yeos in a wide range of other countries [note 2].
A large number of Yeo pedigrees have been researched, and we list them or link to them in the pages in the ‘Families’ and ‘Individuals’ menus (although copyright restrictions prevent us from publishing some of them). Users of the site are welcome to contact us to discuss the content of the pedigrees and, where feasible, to Contact Us to be put in touch with the researcher. See also the Index to the pedigrees.
We shall be pleased to receive any researched Yeo pedigrees. We will add them to the list we hold, compare them carefully with existing pedigrees, and send you any observations we have [note 3]. We can work with almost any pedigree format, including:
– PDF files (our preference)
– Word-processed files (if you use Microsoft Word, please tell us which version)
– GEDCOM files
– Spreadsheet files (please tell us how they were created)
– Charts exported from genealogy software (please tell us which software you used)
– Files exported from online trees.
