About us

The SEWELL surname, as brought to this continent by one Henry Sewell of what is now Norfolk, Virginia, has, generally, moved westward since then. Sewells are, at present, spread across the entire North American continent. Many of these 'relatives' have established conventional family trees (on paper), to varying extents, while some have virtually none. Furthermore, the 'link' between Henry of Norfolk (Sewell's Point) and England is not known. As of December 2018, Henry Sewell has been traced to England with at least one ancestor (JKS). Various other lines including Sowell may be connected at the England or Scotland lines.  Note: The England, Scotland, and Wales ancestors may have common links and thus cousins too!
