Harry Harry changed his surname and three hundred years later, the Harris family arrived in Utah

Harry Harry beget Henry Harris who beget another Henry Harris, who beget John Harris, who believed early LDS missionaries in Wales, so came to Mormonville, America in 1864. John and wife Susannah Jackson beget Evan Harris and on July 28th, 1910, he and Eliza Hitesman Harris beget LaVon Harris Jones, who beget me. So for all those begets, I express thanks on this my mothers 108th Earth Birthday. For the past sixty years I have been collecting Harris family documents; artifacts and spent a month traveling throughout the Kingdom of Glywysing in Wales interviewing people; collecting cemetery and Church of England data and will send the thousand pages of maps; notes; photo's and journal's to Rachelle Humble, a Harris family kin, who may take on the task of doing what she is good at- writing a book on family history. Thanks Mom, you are now with your sister-Maggie Vera and all those begetters, and perhaps- even the Begotten!
