Where did the English Harris family come from? When did the Harris family first arrive in Canada? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Harris family history? Where did the Harris families of Bonavista, Newfoundland originate from?  What about the other Newfoundland Harris families found in various parts of Newfoundland; are they related in any way?

These and many other questions have intrigued me for years.  If you would like to join me in my quest to find the answers to these and other questions, please sign my guest book and send me your comments.  I would enjoy hearing from you.  You DO NOT have to be a Harris to benefit from this research because the Harris descendants have spread far and wide and are now the ancestors of many different family names, the world over.

 ============

The data/information for these pages was collected by myself with contributions from many others, to whom I am very grateful and without whose help this site would not have been possible.

This site exists to assist others, who are researching their own branch of the family's history. As is the case with everything on the internet the accuracy of this, and any information, is always questionable! Much has come from sources that cannot always be validated and is no doubt submitted with the best intention of the submitter.

Some items once believed to be true have subsequently been pronounced false and some item thought to be false are perhaps true! Therefore, please be advised that little here should be considered 'a fact'.  However, most of it is probably fairly correct but unverified. Please take it for what it is but please check, double check and verify all information.
 If you find any errors or omissions, please let me know by using the FEEDBACK link at the top of this page.
