HERREN FAMILY INFORMATION SUMMARY

The preceeding outline of general HERREN family history covers the period from the Middle Ages when family names originated down to the mid 1800’s. Very little factual information is available about specific families, but it is reasonable to assume that most of the people of the time followed the generally accepted historical documentation. We have attempted to take the verified information about the HERREN family and present it with general history in order to place these facts in proper perspective.

Alot of the information which has been discovered cannot be verified. Records and documentation is incomplete or non-existant in some areas. Bits and pieces of material come from divergent sources. Names are spelled incorrectly and changes or alterations are made without explanation. These myriad factors not only complicate the research, but can lead to inaccurate conclusions. The facts presented have been verified as far as possible and speculation is clearly listed.

****All of the HERREN information that is presented in this text and GEDCOM files was gathered over 10 years of research by: James Gordon Hearon of Clay, Kentucky and was typed out by himself on October 20, 1989.

I have attempted to only put it in a format as to share with other family members and do not and will not receive anything for doing this. I believe James Gordon Hearon deserves many thanks for all of his hard work and efforts.
