Donnelly's works can be purchased from her. She has an email address and a
snail mail address-I just can't remember either, but someone on the list can
publish it to the list. I found a copy of Webb's book in a library. It is
not very long.
The bigger issue has always been tying the Cissell line of John Cissell, the
MD immigrant, to the Cecil line in England. I would love to know the names
of the source documents that your great aunt has for this, who she has as
John Cissell's parents and grandparents.
Thanks!

Subject: Information!
Okay, after begging my great-aunt to release what she had of our family
history, I finally have something! Since I have been bugging everyone on
this list for information, I thought I'd offer to share what I have now.
There are several handwritten charts, and information about the
Cecil/Cissell line going back to when the name was originally Sitsylt. The
Coat of Arms is also included.
Please let me know if you would like me to mail you copies of anything. The
information includes:
John Cissell 1658 (to Md from Wales), wife Mary. Children John, William,
Thomas, Richard, Robert, Edward, James.
If you trace my line, starting with my father, it looks like this -
Fred J. Cecil, Jr., s/o Fred J. Cecil Sr., s/o Curtis Cecil, s/o Charles
Napoleon Cissell, s/o Linus Cissell, s/o Joseph Cissell, s/o Ignatius
Cissell Sr., s/o James Cissell, s/o John Cissell.
Works cited include "Colonial Settler" by Mary Louise Donnelly; "A
Centenary
of Catholicity in Kentucky, 1884" by Webb; "Dictionary of Names of the
United Kingdom"; "The Cecils of Hatfield House" and an ancient manuscript
published in 1563 by Lloyd and republished in 1812.
If ANYONE knows how I could get copies of these works, please let me know.
Also, not that I have been able to be more specific about my family line, if
anyone has ANY information they could share with me I would really
appreciate it.
Thanks!!
