I am researching the Syas family tree and interested in connecting with other family members.
My grandfather's name is Benjamin Franklin Syas. Ben married Daisy Demby who gave birth to Drunetta, Laura Lee, Eugene, Mae Thelma, Mildred and Ophelia. Ben is the offspring of Carter and Laura (last name unknown). Ben's siblings included Martha, Crisp, George and Harvey. My great grandfather Carter Syas is believed to be the offspring of Joe Syas. Carter's siblings included Billie, Andrew and Jim.
Based on census records, our family members were known to have originated from or migrated to Mississipi, Louisiana, Texas and Chicago.
If you are a Syas descendent and/or have any information that would assist me in completing the Syas family tree, please contact me through this thread or at
