Any Yareds have got the Family Tree?

Answer 1

Hey Jordanian,

Not many Yareds out there. Here is a search string for Yared Genforum. There are no Yared Genforum boards directly, but some people have Yared in their trees.

There are 35 Yared entries in the Family Tree site. They might be ancestors. Be sure to do an exact spelling match, unless you know that the name has changed over time. I found Yarred, and many of them in the Family Tree site.

With so few Yared's, you will not need to filter so many not-applicable people from what you do find (my optimistic perspective). On the flip side, they are difficult to find.

Answer 2

OK, Yareds could be a locational spelling difference of the surname Yards, this often happens when a family group moved to a new place where the pronunciation of the name is spoken in the new dialect. If this is the case then the history for yards is as follows:

Yards
The most probable origin of this unusual and interesting name is
that it denoted someone who held this quantity of land, and as it
was quite a large amount (varying at different periods and in
different places but generally approximately 30 acres, a quarter of
a hide) such a person would have been a reasonably prosperous
farmer. The derivation of the name is from the Middle English
'yard(e)' an enclosure. The name also appears as Yarde. One Peter
Yard married Deborah Clark in St. Phillip and St. Jacob, Bristol in
1725. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be
that of
Thomas de la Yurda, which was dated
1225, Assize Rolls of Somerset, during the reign of
King Henry III, The Frenchman, 1216 - 1272.
