Hello Everybody,
 Welcome to the BEARDSLEY FAMILY TREE! Since starting this website, we have rapidly increased  the Family Tree to 1,301 years of Beardsley Ancestry, a total of 38 generations, and 367 family  members. The recent discovery of Leofric I, Earl of Leicester does not yet show the multilple  generations that led back to him. That is still a lot of work I have to do to add the missing  puzzle pieces that I know into this database.
 It has already been seven years since we decided to document our ancestry for future  generations of Beardsley's and their offspring. It has been an awful lot of work but largely a  labor of love!
 Special Thanks go out to my sister Kathleen Rae for all of her support and assistance in this  endeavor! Pretty cool, eh? I have been wanting to do this for a very long time now, so I hope  that you enjoy this website.
 We had a BEARDSLEY FAMILY REUNION on August 1, 2009 at Gravel Pit Park. We had our second  Family Reunion in 2015 and we are having our next one in 2018 Details to follow! Additionally, thanks to our newfound Beardsley Cousins John Beardsley and Valarie Beardsley  Beadle we have traced our ancestry all the way back to the infamous William Beardsley... the  oldest immigrant to America from England... and even back further than that to William's father  Hugh "BERDSLEY", grandfather JOHN and great grandfather RAPHE all of which were born and died  in England as far back as 1520!
 And as of 12/18/2016 we have uncovered the ancestry of the wife of Hugh "BERDSLEY" back to a  man named Henry de Hassall born in the year 1208 !! The "de Hassall" (later shortened to  Hassall) Family lineage also lived all those centuries in the United Kingdom. So yes, we are  quite the "BRITS", I would say !!! Tea, anyone ??
