My name is BOB YERBURY and I was bone 4 July 1954 in Waltham, MASS., the son of COMMANDER AND MRS. ROBERT H.YERBURY (USNA' CLASS of 1946.

I live in a suburb of Seattle and I would really like to connect with what I would call "realatives" as most of my family are (on both sides) located between the foci of Springfiled, IL and Peroia, IL (hope I got it spelled right) and Philadelphia (on my moms' side of the family). So any of you YERBURYS out there, please contact me and let's get in touch..........afterall, our name is rare.

Belated congrads to the award conveved upon PORF. DI YERBURY...as they say in the states "WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Greetings from across the pond!!!

Hello Louise,

My name in Bob Yerbury, and I am responding to your message posted on the "Yerbury Message Board". Like you, I am trying to track down relatives, kinsmen/kinswomen, and so forth. I have linked up with a few YERBURYS in both Scotland, England, Australia and Canada, and the information that is coming out does fill in a lot of holes. I have been even trying to make contact with one of our good 'ole 'southern boys (plays southern rock guitar in a very popular band), but as he's on the "road" (concerts) it's tought to make connections.

Anyway, one good source of information is GOOGLE (http://www.google.com) search engine, and after typing our name, came across no less that 2600 sites (go figure for such a rare family name)!!!!

One area that I"m concentrating on is the Somerset/Wilshire/Frome (hope that I got the order correct) area, and a "GENT FROM SOLWOOD", one RICHARD YERBURY who leased property and was an inventor. I'm trying to dig through records to get some more information. And as promised to my other relatives, should anything come up, I'll pass it along.

As far as I know, our family were textile merchants, did something to receive a coat of arms, ran afoul of Cromwell, escaped to France, changed the name to YERBURIE, and when Cromwell was overthrown, we came back to the UK. (Sounds like the basis for a best selling historical novel.) I use to quip, when in college and around some of those that claimed to be the "blue bloods" that could trace their linage to the Mayflower, my response was "Big Deal!! Your family may have sailed on the Mayflower, but my family financed them. And when we got their report of all of the potential wealth in the new world (why else would we have financed them??), we started up the JUMBO, flew over and started where we had left off in England". And the funny thing is, most of them believed me - well you would have had to have been there.

Lastly, I, like you live in a recently incorporated city. If you're into golf, recall where the 1998 PGA Championship was played. That's where I live.

Please let's keep in touch and pass along information regarding our ever growing family. And if you would'nt mind, please provide an address-as I am compiling a listing.

Hope to talk to you soon.

From an alive and kicking relative.

Bob Yerbury

Hi Louise, yes there are many, many Yerbury's still alive and kicking in this old world. Several in the UK and the others mostly in USA and Aus. If you are interested in the family history please let me know.

At least two

My mum and gran are Yerbury's and still living in the UK so that's at least two. I'm descended from my late grandfather Edwin Yerbury who was brought up in Frome although I've spent most of my life on the Wirral. In the last ten years I've been coming back to my roots and live in sunny Swindon.

Hi

A few weeks ago my family received a letter from a Alfred Yerbury from Tacoma-WA. It seems that we are related, I think we are third-cousins. Are you from the same Yerbury family?

Hello there, sorry it's taken me so long to reply to your message, however, I am interested in my family. I do know quite a lot now about the family as my Dad has tried to trace the family tree. The place Frome and Wiltshire/Somerset seems to be a common factor everyone is finding.

However, the reason Myself and my Dad want to trace the family is due to the fact that we both have an eye condition called "Drusen". My Dad is 99% blind and has only lost his sight since he was about 33-35 years old. I was born with my sight loss, which again is strange due to the fact that I have an older brother who has perfect sight. Anyway if you have any information on any Blind Yerbury's would like to know. Thanks Louise Yerbury
