This web site is primarily devoted to the genealogy of the Deeks name within the United Kingdom, although it does include overseas Deeks particularly from Canada and the United States. I developed an interest in the Deeks name after I married a Deeks, (from Suffolk, England) and this site includes information on both my wife's ancestry (Deeks) and my own personal family history (Jepson). Having spent thirty or so years in the computer industry, it was a natural progression to develop this site and thus share information with other people who are interested in genealogy.

The site is divided into five main areas.

1. The family groups - These are groups of connected Deeks families with brief details. The information is presented in tabular form, rather then a family tree arrangement. Group one is details of our family ancestry.

Note: In the family groups the colums 'Birth/Bap' and 'Died/Buried' frequently contain a reference to a particular quarter. In these cases the date listed is that when the event, (Birth or Death) was registered. Births, in particular were frequently registered anyhing up to 3 months after the event.

2. List of spouses - This is an alphabetical list of all people I have on file, of either sex, who have married a Deeks. It does include people who are also in a family group.

3. Lists of Deeks names - These are alphabetical lists of all the Deeks and similarly named people I have on file. Again it does include people already mentioned in a family group.

4. Picture Gallery - The is a section devoted to Deeks related pictures. It contains photographs of Deeks graves, scanned copies of BMD certificates, and other items of interest. I am always pleased to receive any more items for inclusion in this section.

5. Update History - This is simply a list of any changes I have made. It can be useful to see if I have updated a particular family group etc.

Find facility - to search for expressions, for example, Mary Deeks,

eg "Mary Deeks". Full guidance notes on the Find facility can be found here

The information on this site has been culled from a variety of different places. Some of it is family information, Parish Records have yielded more details and many other Deeks collectors have, over several years, been good enough to share their personal Deeks family information. So my grateful thanks to all those who have exchanged snippets with me over the years and I hope you will find something interesting. If there is anything listed which is at odds with your personal research I hope you will send me an e-mail.
