I am looking for direct living male descendants of the John Cissell (Cecil) who came to
St. Mary's
County Maryland in 1658 and died there in 1698.
I have obtained some initial DNA test results for my part of the Cissell family. This
branch of the
family originated with John's son James, who died in 1717. I hope to obtain some
additional
information over the next few months for some of my closer relatives. To be useful, this
needs to be
compared with data from family branches started by John's other sons (John, died 1722;
Thomas,
died 1724, or William who died in 1744).
If anyone can help me in finding some of John's living descendants, I would appreciate
hearing
from you.
If there are any other direct male Cissell descendants who would like to help with family
DNA
testing, I would be very glad to hear from you as well.
Thanks for your help.
