This section of the web site contains work by a number of different researchers. It also contains 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 – see The origin of the surname – it and the variants covered by this study have spread across the British Isles and around the world. The most common route for this spread 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 locations – see Births – Other countries, Marriages – Other countries and Deaths – Other countries. Please Contact Us if you are a Yeo or a Yeo descendant in a country or area we don’t know about.
A large number of Yeo pedigrees have been researched, as set out in the pages in the ‘Families’ and ‘Individuals’ menus [note 1], which can be explored via the Index or via the drop-down menus. Users of the site are encouraged to Contact Us to discuss any of the pedigrees and, where feasible, to be put in touch with the researcher.
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. We will not share your information with anyone without your permission, nor will we publish a pedigree you send us without your permission. 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)
– Reports and charts exported from genealogy software (please tell us which software you used)
– Files exported from trees maintained online.
Note
1. Copyright restrictions prevent us from publishing some of the pedigrees we have.
