The Wardell Family History Site
This site was originally set up in the late 90s and has welcomed more than 17,800 visitors in the period January 14, 1999 to April 14, 2017.
During the recent migration to this new platform I was dismayed to find that many of the links had become obsolete. Please, if you notice inconsistencies, send me a short message.
Many thanks.
If you are researching the WARDELL surname, I recommend this resource:
Let's Learn From Each Other
There are bound to be many Wardell lines that are in no way related. Some lines might be related but we just don't have the connection yet. The purpose of this site is to help each other with Wardell research and maybe find some of these missing links. I would be delighted to hear from fellow Wardell researchers!
The site is dedicated to the Wardells who are no longer with us.
