Preface

A few words about the purpose of these Family History Pages, and the group of researchers, genealogists, and correspondents who are contributing to the history of the Tinnell's, Tennille's, and Tennell's.

Our European and English Ancestors

It would appear that we are descended from French Huguenots, who migrated into English speaking countries, before immigrating to America. Thus, the different spellings of the name. Find out more in this section of our history.

Genealogy -- Our Ancestors

The Genealogy Section of the Family History Pages have been divided into three smaller sections. Use these links to jump to any of the genealogy sections.

This will become one of the main sections in the Tinnell, Tennille, Tennell Family History. Included you will find the major families, including the family of Francis Tennell and his wife Margaret Sinclair Tennell of Prince William County, Virginia. Also, the minor families are listed in this section. Minor families include at least two generations, but are considerably smaller than the major families. Finally, our Tinnell, Tennille, and Tennell "Orphans" are to be found in this section. What is an orphan? An orphan is a Tinnell, Tennille, Tennell and possibly the spouse, not connected with a second generation. In other words, an orphan for our Family History is not connected with a second generation. Like orphans in real life, we are forever hopeful to find a home for any of the orphans in the Tinnell, Tennille, Tennell Family History.

You will want to pay close attention to the numbering scheme that is in use to keep us straight about our ancestors. Notice that spouses are not given a unique number; married couples are referenced by the same number. The numbering works like this. The first known ancestor in a family is given the alpha-numeric number F1 if by chance his first name is Francis and he is the oldest known ancestor. His first child will have the number of F1.1, his second child will be F1.2, and so on. The first child of the first son of Francis will be F1.1.1. I hope that this will help you keep straight about our ancestors.

For each ancestor, it is our hope to include as many of the following items of data as possible.

Biographies of Our Ancestors

Here you will find biographies of our ancestors written by any number of our family's researchers. You can connect the biography with the genealogy section using the genealogy number that we have assigned to the person in the Genealogy Section.

Family Cemeteries

Listed in this section will be the special cemeteries where significant concentrations of our Tinnell, Tennille, and Tennell ancestors have been buried. With each, you should find directions how to get to the cemetery, plus a list of our ancestors interred in the cemetery.
