East Anglia is known to be a major Appleby stronghold - I am currently working on a number of Appleby/Applebee/Appelby family trees from this part of England, which will be presented in groups of families from similar geographical areas. If YOU belong to a line of Applebys with links to Essex, please use the contact form to get in touch with me as soon as possible, and make sure that I have the most up to date information about your tree to include on the site.
