There has been a lot of responses to my website and I will be updating my attached trees sometime this summer (2004), we've had a lot of new members join the family by birth or marraige and unfortunately we've had some members leave (pass away) but they are not gone because they live in our memories!

My Search includes both my Father's(Bevan) and Mother's(Tyson) family branches. The last names are the original ancestoral family names. I have gone back about 5 or 6 generations on both sides of the family, although it is not very fleshed out on dates.
For my father's side I can trace the family back to Swansea Wales and Germany (Denny & Fraizer) in the very early 1800s. The family last names included in the lineage are Bevan, Armstrong, Alexander, Davies, Denny, Fraizer, Jones, Nicholas, White. All these family names come from either England, Wales, Scotland or Germany. The family settled mainly in Pennsylvania but also Ohio, Louisana, and New York. Some of the descendents last names are Bevan, Abercrombie, Weibel, Washabaough, Jones, Johnson, Hepler, Lindsey, Conky, Rice, Watt, Dronesfield, Kearns.
For my mother's side I can trace the family back to the mid to late 1800's in the Durham, England area. The family last names included in the lineage are Tyson, Hamilton, Hall, Pickett, Hogan, McDonald. All these family names come from either England, Ireland, or Scotland. The family settled mainly in western Pennsylvania and Ohio. Some of the descendents last names are Bevan, Tyson, Hogan, Murhammer, Fisher, Fern, Leadbitter, Redmond, Robson, Thompson, Rosser, Potts, Shakley, Chishosm, Aldridge, Kerr, Duncan, Malek, Musgrove, Harshall, Edger, Daher, Skeba, Collins, Stegmaier, Procopio, Helbling, Slifer, Manz, Olmsted, Shaw, Walker, Banks, Slopek, Davidson, Knell, Bridges, Baxter, Holmes, Barone, Grass, Burns, Rooney, Moore, Sheehy, Smith, Dowler, and Prince.
I'm looking for any information on the individuals in my tree already, any new branches that might come from your viewing the information. I would appreciate any input you may wish to contribute. I am willing to share my data as well.
