So far my info is leading me to believe that the West came from Ireland. Info is hard to come by and I am having a hard time proving most of my beliefs . So when I get new info I will get it here asap !!! I believe we had a name change and that makes it most difficult to trace. Also I believe we have some Indian and that is also hard to prove. But I will not be discouraged !!!

Here I will List some of the surnames In my family:
West
Bennett
Gilliland(gilland)
Taylor
Akers
Kidd
Jackson
Hubbard
Riddell
Hatfield
McCoy
Bilger
Garren

Here I might list all of the family names and variations I've found while researching my family tree.

The more I get into this , the more interest my kids show so as they get their sites up I will add them here.

If you are researching Akers, Hatfield , McCoy or Jackson go here....This is my daughter , Regina's site.
