Runyard's Family Genealogy Index. This ever expanding
history data base is due to you, & research my dad , Robert

I want to thank them all for the time and trips to England to

Excerpts from the Diary of Henry Rolls (1803-1877)
Henry was the best friend of Richard Runyard (1805-1866), our
ancestor and,
because of this, there are many references to the
Runyard family in the diary.
Henry's son married a daughter of
Richard, so there was a family relationship.
This diary has some
very fascinating stories of life in the 1800's.

KEEP THE RUNYARD HISTORY ALIVE !
If you have your Runyard family tree, no matter how far it dates
back, my Dad
and I would like to see it. Email me, John or my
Dad, Robert D. Runyard to review
this information. I would like
to possibly scan it and add it to this Runyard
Genealogy index
with your permission. Many Runyard's have looked here
already,
looking for
information about the past. The more info we have,
the better
chance the on-line
researcher ( like yourself ) will find a link to his
or her
genealogy.
Take a look at all the folks in the
guestbook, Runyard's, from all over the world.
Be sure to add your name and the place you live too.
Don't let family history fade into a box of papers / photographs
that no
one knows
about, or it may end up in the rubbish bin, lost forever.
If you have additions, information, or comments, feel free to email John below.
ABOUT THIS SITE:
This Runyard Genealogy site has been on the geocities server
since 1998.
Because Geo is a free website, it contained "ad's". So Three
years ago my
Brother Robert & I went half's in our own site server at
www.runyard.org
While I'll keep a Runyard Genealogy page / link at geo,
I'm slowly going to be
migrating many of the web pages to the "ad free" RUNYARD.ORG
site.
I will continue to update both sites,
www.johnrunyard.com &
www.runyard.org
Let me know if any of these photo or page links fails to work.
ABOUT ME:
Well for one thing, I spend way to much time on the computer and
100+
pages of "HTML" proves it. But I do enjoy other hobbies
such as gardening,
desert / mountain motorcycling, Jeep & Buggy
riding. One of my favorite
places is my friend's place
in the high desert. Click
HERE to view some
of our adventures.
