We are made of many families & above are listed the ones that I am proud to be part of!

I've been researching these families for the better part of 20 years & am now again working on compiling all that I have learned over these years into one "Tree".

My parents are from Manitoba, Canada. The Bickford's are originally from England; the first to come over were Richard & Lady Mary Lean-Bickford; their son married an irish lady who came over with them on the same boat by the name of Walkes.

My Grandmother on Dad's side was a Beswitherick, whose family have changed the name to 2 other deriviations: Beswatehrick & Beswetherick. Her mother was a Pugsley, whose family came from Ontario & originally from England. (I have a very interesting journal of Edmund Pugsley's journey across.)

The Berry's - my Grandfather on my Mom's side - Errol Berry. They are from Ireland & changed the name back & forth from Barry-Berry & a few changed it back again.

Then there is my Grandmother on Mom's side - Kathleen Byrne; whose parents came over from Ireland in the 20's, changed their name from O'Byrne.
