Hello to all who visit this site.  I trust you have a wonderful journey  through my family and there many branches.  I was born Jennifer Teresa Mizen  and began my journey into my family tree when my father passed away.  The  family had many stories about different things from the passed.  On doing some  research I found that many of these where correct but some of the details had  become muddled.  I decided to research the family tree.  I held a family  reunion of my imediate relatives in Western Australia finding descendants of  my great uncles on the way.  I now have contact with members of the families  of all my great uncles including the one who remained in the UK.  In 1997 I  visited the small village of Helions Bumpstead, Essex, England where my great  Grandfather and his family lived. It was a fascinating journey, I met several  3rd cousins and their families, who lived in Birmingham and Lincoln.  The  Myson/Mizon/Mizen lived in Helions from 1753 when John Myson married Mary  Edwards.  In 2005 I again made a visit to Essex meeting more Mizen cousins and  getting more of the family history. My husband and myself where even guests at  a family wedding.  The bride Claire Barker had come to Australia during a back  packing holiday and stayed with us and our family in Kalgoorlie WA.   In March 2007 I held another family reunion and found a member of the branch  of the family who had gone to Isle of Man.  This was very exciting as the  family story was proven to be correct and I had finally found the link.  Eric  Mizen gave me a copy of the family tree back to Wylliam and Elyzabeth Myssyn  mid 1500's. I owe Eric and another distant cousin Neville a great thank you  for providing me with this information. I have done some research into the  name Myson/Mizon/Mizen and found that it goes back to a place name in  Belgium.  Further research is required as their is a story that the family was  Jewish and was from Yugoslavia.  However my research is still a work in  progress and I will place new information on the site as it comes to hand.
