-Alan, I like how you wrote "Thus these two Bryson groups are only related in the sense that most people in the British Isles are distantly related" How can I...
To my favorite Bunch of Brysons, Well here is my story - yesterday I went to a Bryson family reunion - it was the first time I have EVER met a Bryson MALE!...
Out of curiosity............... What percentage of the time do you give your name to a receptionist for instance and he/she spells it with an "i" rather than a...

Hi Howard. I can't remember a time when i was asked about this. Maybe it's because there are hundreds of Bryson's in the UK. I think as well here there are...
To My Favorite Bunch of Brysons, Yes Howard, "i" is typically how I get my named spelled! In fact, the phone directory miss spelled my name as "i." However,...
That used to happen to me all the time when I still used my maiden name. What is it with people and "Ys"? My son's name is Dylan..pronounced Dillon and...

Hi, Didn't a Bryson from the U. K. say that the "y" in our name was an indicator of a Norman linguistic heritage? Ron...

Has anyone heard of the Brisland family line who came from Ireland to U.S. in late 1700s? They maintain their name was changed to Bryson and later to Brison....
Alan, I don't know about that group but I remember that Ireland was behind England and Scotland in both writing and spelling things in a standardized manner....

Thanks Ron, that sound logical for the rule, but what I'm getting at is the exception. One Brison who became a Bryson in 1700 & something, or a Bryson who ...
Correct me if I am wrong, but it is the general consensus that the MORE Bryson males tested the better the research... and of course name variation is expected...
The mysspellyng of our name ys so pervasyve, that yt's actually a surpryse when somebody gets yt ryght. When Y was a kyd, my Dad and Y walked ynto a shoe...
Since the subject has come up again, I thought I'd repost my original material (edited somewhat for length) on the origin of Bryson. I've also added some new...

That was very interesting, thanks for posting that again. MY family history claims the Scottish/Irish history...and I noticed in the 1901 census taken in ...
My own family has been spelled Brieson, Bryson, and Bricen in successive US censuses in the mid 19th century. They themselves always spelled it Bryson, but...

Hi Ron, A few years ago my brother traced some information on a Bryson who was hung for treason against the English King. Don't know what happened to that info...
Billy -- How could it be treason when the king was English and the Bryson was Scottish? They're different countries. Ron and Billy -- if the name began at the...
Same similar story as we have now over in Scotland. A British Monarch who is not seen as the Monarch of Scotland, hence the treason charge. A lot of people in...

Off the subject a little, but has anyone done any research on Elizabeth Byers. She was William Bryson's wife (the one who came over from Antrim Co. to...
Elizabeth Byers is fictional, and probably as much my mistake as anyone else's. I'm probably the most responsible for getting it spread around, for I did have...
