Welcome to Leavesonbranches.com

This site is dedicated to the genealogical research of the Ervin surname. Specifically those found in the southeastern region of Ohio in the late 1700s and early 1800s, as that is where my Ervin line came from and can still be found today.

We've placed our research online in the hopes that others may benefit from it. If you find our information useful, please feel free to use it. We invite anyone researching the Ervin, Irvin, Erwin, Irwin and related surnames from any area to join. If you would like to contribute, we offer several ways for our Registered Members to share their research and get involved.

Please Contact Us for more information.
