My Harris Lineage
By Randall S. Treadway

    Welcome to my Harris Lineage Page. I would like to thank Alice Westfall, Michael Sprackling, Dave Harris, and my dear friend Caryl Williams for all the information, and leads that I have received from them for the upper two generations of this family. This line was one of my brick walls for many, many years. My Harris line begins in Co. Dorset, England, and from there, my line immigrated to Homer, Dakota Co., Nebraska, where they remained for many generations. The information below is is still new, and I as of yet have not been able to prove it, but please check each lead for yourself, and if you do find any discrepancies, or if you would like to add to the lineage, please email me. I hope you find the information helpful to you. Thank you for dropping by. Enjoy.

    Please remember each bit of information found here, or elsewhere, must be researched and proven by weight of evidence, via you, the researcher.
