An Isted Family History Website

Yew tree (Taxus Baccata) 2000 years old (est)

(Site created October 2006)

 

Isted: A family from a place where yew trees grow?

The purpose of this website is to present information on ISTED family history and genealogy. This will include the results of my research, some of the results of Bruce Isted's one-name study of the name ISTED and its variants, such as: ISTEAD, ISTEED, HISTE(A)D, HIGHSTE(A)D, HYSTE(A)D; along with some references which might be useful for those who wish to conduct further research into their ISTED family history.

This website is still under construction. More is planned to be included and existing articles will be revised periodically in the light of new information or understanding.

If you have any comments or questions about this website and its contents, or any feedback you would like to give us, you can e-mail them to me by clicking on the Contact Us button and submitting an e-form.

If you have any queries or questions about your own Isted family genealogy, Bruce Isted will be happy to check his extensive records and files on your behalf. He would also appreciate any information you may be able to provide to add to his one-name study. Bruce can be contacted by e-mail on: bruce@isted.info .

I hope that you will find this website informative, helpful and above all enjoyable.
