The origins of the Yeo family are found in Devon and Cornwall, England.  
Several different lines of the family immigrated to North America settling in 
Prince Edward Island, Canada. This webmaster`s line, descends from James Yeo 
III who had two wives; Ann Osborn and Grace Francis. The majority of the 
family is found in Canada & the United States, while a few returned to 
England.  The early Yeo family made their living in the shipbuilding industry 
in PEI and England. There are numerous members of the clan who had political 
aspirations. Senator John Yeo to this day holds the record for the longest 
sitting member of parliament. The Yeo family abounds in HUGE numbers and can 
be found just about anywhere in Canada and the US.  This site represents only 
one line of the Yeo family, others can be found by following the link for `The 
Island Register`.  Early Yeo research is now available on Sheila Yeo`s webpage 
in the UK. Her work on the early generations has been invaluable to all 
present day Yeo researchers.
