I have a family of Geen's from Barstable, Devon.
Go into www.mytrees.com and www.kindredkonnections.com and look up the Geen name, maybe you will find some info there,
My wife was a Geen and here relatives came from Barstable, Devon. James and John Geen came to Canada as well a two other brothers. John Geen is the line of my wife.

I've recently come across a Richard Geen and his wife Elizabeth. They had a daughter Louisa in 1826 born in Countisbury (which is just up the road from the area you mentioned). Richard and Elizabeth were my GGG Grandparents. Do you know if you have any connections with this family?
Regards
Alan

The only information I have on the Geen family is that of Prudence, sorry. Not even sure who her parents were

I happened upon this site looking up the name Geen. My dad's name was John Marshall Geen. My dad was from Beaumont, Texas and he has two brothers. Jim Geen and Tim Geen. Their father was James Marshall Geen. I can't believe how many Geen's I have found on this website. I am 34 and have never met anyone with my last name. Where is Devon?

Peter, I'm looking into the ancestors of Thomas John Geen born about 1842 in Devonshire England, married to Maria Evans. At some time they immigrated to Ontario Canada. Is your wife related to that line of Geens? Any help you have would be appreciated.

My Geen family also came from Devon but immigrated to NYC in 1842 and eventually on to Madison, Indiana by 1848. John Geen sr., and wife Sarah?Mary, and 9 children sailed from the port of Bideford, Devon, on a brig named Arab. Bideford was the port near "Barnstable" which was their home as well as your Geens. You can check out Barnstable on the web.
They were probably related. I don't have a name beyond John sr.(1802-1872)
w.d.geen, in S.C.
