Jan's Tree

Hello Sheila, I was wondering if you would be in a position to assist me in filling in the other lines from the South Tawton Yeo's. If you remember, I sent you my information from my great-great grandmother Ann Yeo (b. 1848 to Joseph Yeo, b. 1805 at South Tawton.) I am now interested in filling in the other branches of the tree, up to the present day if possible. Would you be in a position to assist me, or put me in contact with others who may? I've already written to the others mentioned on your researchers link. Best Wishes Jan Brian Kingshott 21 Vuefield Hill St Thomas Exeter Devon EX2 9NW ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0) 1392 669 564
