I am a long time genealogist with a big interest in the SYKES or SIKES surname.

A very active organization is The Sikes/Sykes Families Association and I encourage you to visit their web site at http://sikes-sykesfamilies.rootsweb.com/index.htm
We have a tremendous amount of information on many Sikes and Sykes lineages posted on this web page. If your branch is not included, we would like to hear from you.

We publish a quarterly newsletter The Tributaries which is distributed to 26 states and 13 major libraries and genealogical societies. It contains previously unpublished material, member news, queries, and more.

We also sponsor a DNA Project to assist researchers in locating their common ancestors

Members of the Association are currently planning a trip to England in the Spring of 2009 to try to make a connection with the large group of Sykeses in Yorkshire.

If you, too, have an interest in this surname, we would like to hear from you.
