the Sells of Hemel Hempstead
I can reliably trace my ancestry to John Sells, b. 1807 at Hemel Hempstead. Several online sources, e.g., http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.purser/pafg42.htmhttp://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.purser/pafg42.htm, list other Sells living in Hemel Hempsted. Can anyone help me link my ancestor John Sells to earlier generations living in Hemel Hempstead (to whom he must surely be related)? Also, does anyone know the origins of the Sells family -- I assume that they must originally have been Dutch, but can anyone confirm this?
