Welcome to the Sweezey.net
genealogy and family home page. The focus of this site is about
our origins, our heritage, and our lives.
If you are researching the roots of either the "Sweezey" or
"Taliaferro" families, we gladly extend our archives to you.
The historical information contained here has been compiled
by Robert H. Sweezey, and Charles R. Taliaferro
Sr.
 Sweezey.net
has been online now since 1998 and has changed shape several
times since our initial launch. Originally it was to be a gathering
place for our family, as we are all members of the online world.
Since the publishing of our genealogy research, this site has
become primary a research destination. With that said, we have
decided to use the Sweezey.com and Sweezey.net domains for just
such a purpose.
The
largest amount of work on this site is on the Long Island, New
York Sweezeys. As this is where I was born, and my original
goal was to research my family tree.
Gradually, the scope of my work expanded to other counties and
states. Much of the information for our family tree outside
of Long Island has come from the research of others who have
been kind enough to post or publish their work.
One of my goals is to now connect every Sweezey/ Swezey/ Swasey/
Swayze/ Sweazea/ etc. to our original ancestors, brothers John
& Joseph Swasey who came to this country from England sometime
between 1630 and 1645. I would appreciate any help in this endeavor.

Below are the names of
some Sweezey family members with numerous descendants, but whom
I cannot link to the Sweezey Family Tree.
If you have any information regarding the parents of these individuals,
please drop me an email. I would be most grateful for any guidance.

This
is a terrific site for information on our original ancestor,
as well as other Long Island Families. Very well documented. |
The research here at Sweezey.com
is a personal project that I enjoy sharing with others. I have
no regular schedule for updates, additions, changes, etc.
Please feel free to contact me
at "Bob@Sweezey.com". Sadly, if I include the
email link, spambots will strip my address and subject me to
a lifelong litany of Viagra and mortgage solications.
A
Note to our forum members...
Unfortunately, spammers chose to exploit our boards to advertise
products, sites, or services that were not in any way consistent
with the values of our family. It was because of these problems
that we have since shut down the forum.
My Sincere apologies. -- Bob |
