: : : : THERE ARE HARMSTONS IN WASHINGTON ALSO, JUST THAUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW LOTS OF US
: : : Hey let us know something about the Harmston bunch out there. Where are you and anything else. We are originally from Chicago and moved to Carolina in 1972.My Father was from Chicago and he told me originally the family was from around Yorktown Va. and were broom makers when they came from England. What do ya'll know about the Harmstons? I have some cousins in California whose mother's name was my fathers sister.
: Hello from the UK Harmstons, we have traced back our family to teh 1600's and we know some of our distant relations went to USA. Do you have any information on who left England and when ?
I live in Maple Ridge, British Columbia. My Grandmonther
on my Fathers side was a Harmston. Her father,mother
grandfather and grandmother are all buried in a
small cemetery in Courtenay,BC. They were one of
the original pioneers in the area. My mom tells me
the Harmstons first settled in Nova Scotia in the
early 1700's after moving from England. I have a
bit more info if it's needed.
