Scope of the Brickell Family History Research

A full world-wide One Name Study of the Brickell name is being undertaken. This involves collecting all and any information related to the Brickell name and principally compiling family trees - hoping of course to link all such trees into one single tree with a single 'patriarch' at the head of the one tree. Such an ambition is however never likely to be fulfilled since most family names originate so far back that records do not exist that can provide sufficient evidence for such analysis. The related information collected along the way however provides a fascinating view of the social history of our relatives and this web site aims to publish material on various topics from time to time.

At any point in the development of the research, the study will however have identified a number of distinct family trees and each line will have an identified patriarch at the head of the line.

If you are connected in any way with the Brickell family name I would encourage you to contact me in order to try and 'place' you in an existing family line or perhaps to open up a new line. This would normally require you to let me know your family line back as far as you know it, and then I would be able to provide you with any information that I have. Quite often this would be simple reference information that would allow you to obtain source documents such as birth, marriage and death certificates. Whenever you find new information in this manner I would clearly be pleased if you could contribute it to the 'pool'. Please note that I adhere to a strict publishing policy that co-researchers are also asked to comply with.

I look forward to hearing from you.
