I agree the internet has made genealogy so much easier! Everything right at your fingertips. What took researchers years before now takes just moments. I honestly don't know if/how these Ivesons may be connected to my Iveson family. But I guess I will keep searching. I plan on constructing a general Iveson family tree on my software-even if there is no immediate connection at least it should be a help. I joined a yahoo group of Yorkshire researchers and contacted a gentleman who is researching the Ivesons in the Wilberfoss/Pocklington area. Even that showed no apparent connection, but it does seem likely that the IVESON name originated in Yorkshire. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to exchange additional info. I've long been interested in your postings, wondering how close of a connection there might be. :) _Elise, MN.
