The Research of history for the STYMIEST family surname has been an exciting 60+year venture taking me to many wonderful archives, libraries and continents all over the globe. Special acknowledgements to my late father, Carlyle (Bud) William Stymiest, (New Brunswick, Canada); and his late brother, Donald Garfield Stymiest, (Ontario, Canada) for their assistance for inspiring me when I was but 16 years of age. They wanted me to complete the pursuit of the History of our Family surname. STYMIEST. I also acknowledge the Dr. Louise Manny of Miramichi (Newcastle), New Brunswick, CANADA who mentored me while I worked as an assistant librarian during my high school years. She was the person who taught me how to Source research and Journal my entries even before I became a Professional Genealogist in the early 2000s.
In the beginning (1960), the notes from my cousin, Eldon James Stymiest (Tabusintac, Northumberland County, New Brunswick, Canada) was my other initial inspiration to seek-out the allusive pre-North American STYMIEST surname. After numerous hours researching the archives in Canada, the United States, South Africa, Southeastern Asia and Europe; 32 Stymiest generations have been ascertained; all of which tell their own story.
Did you know there are over 112+ different STYMIEST surname spellings?
