Hi Listers I'm new to this site and interested in any Beard or Shorts in the area. My lot came from Berkeley, moved into Painswick, Didmarton, Rodmarton, Hillmarton then back . A lot have remained in these areas. I still have an uncle living at Wotton and he in touch with a Beard who is related to Beards of Horton. I have a very large volume of Beards Family and not related. I am also doing a Data File and at present have several family tree which I have on file which have been sent to me . It is a cheap way of getting your tree to gether. My family tree is on www.ancestry.com start name Alfred Patrick Beard. or Patricia Helena Lusmore. plus Maundrells etc regards Alf Beard
