To help find family connections for the PELLs of all spelling and variations. By joining the group you agree to provide the project with 3 things.
1) The surname of the person being tested.
2) The name, date and place of birth of the oldest researched male ancestor of your male patrilineal line and the oldest researched female ancestor of your matrilineal line.
3) Permission to publish the DNA results and the names, dates and places of birth of the oldest known patrilineal or matrilineal ancestor.
At the time of the UK 1881 census, the greatest concentration of the Pell surname was in the East Midlands. The name was most common in Northamptonshire, tapering off as it reached Bradford in the North and Greater London to the South.
The main goals of this project are:
· To discover if any of the Pell families are related
· To sort people with the Pell surname by family and/or location
· To determine the most likely localities of origin for these families
· To facilitate contact for closely related families
