These are just a few of the many spelling variations of our family name which have been encountered by our Research Team over the years. The efforts of some twenty years of research activity has resulted in probably the widest and most extensive collection of historical family facts, records, documents, deeds and stories which relate to many different branches of the Beresford family. With the bringing together of this information into a single powerful computerised database, together with the addition of your family tree, our research team can search our indexes and hundreds of individual pedigrees in seconds, saving our members both time and money. Our Master Index presently exceeds 200,000 names and is growing daily.
