REEVES GENEALOGY
The Genealogical
Research of
Robert Paul Reeves

My primary genealogy web page covers my paternal surname lineage of REEVES. While my maternal lineage of BISHOP is just as meaningful to me, I have not succeeded in tracing it beyond my great-grandfather Brinkley Bishop. However, I have recorded here some of what I know at the present time. This lineage picks up my ancestry at my mother's name from the PAUL REEVES
