It's been two years since your posting, so you may already have this info.

According to the Oct. 27, 1975 obituary in the Times-Picayune newspaper for a Clara Morel Serpas, who died on Sat. Oct, 24, 1975, she was the wife of an Alexander Morel by first marriage.

The obituary was listed on www.genealogybank.com , but I don't have a subscription to read the full obit. You can obtain a copy of the obit by mail from the New Orleans Public Library for the cost of $2.00.

Here is the library's website which has info on ordering and the library's mailing address.

I don't know if this if the Alexander Morel who married Clara Gnam, but here an Alexander Morel that is listed in the library's obituary index, who died in 1918. In the 1920 New Orleans, LA census, Clara is listed as a widow, with two children, Andrew and Alexander.

I descend from Marie Anne MOREL b. 27 Apr 1691, who married Marthurin BELAND, b. 25 Mar 1678.

It would help to know what child of Pierre Morel and Marie Jeanne Leblanc, that you descend from.

I hope that your grandmother remembers more about line.

MaryBoudreau51 — 2011-08-16 14:30:03Z

I would love to connect with descendants of Pierre Morel and Marie Jeanne Leblanc. They were married on 26 Dec 1675, in Beauport, Quebec, according to some sources.

My Morel ancestors:

• Marthurin BELAND, b. 25 Mar 1678
• Marie Anne MOREL, b. 27 Apr 1691

• Pierre MOREL, b. 1646
• Marie Jeanne LEBLANC, b. 18 Oct 1659

• Samuel MOREL, b. Abt 1620
• Jeanne DENIS, b. Abt 1620

I hope that we can help each other discover the history of our Morel ancestors.

Morel family in Ste. Anne de Beaupré in 1911 who took in paying guests.

I am trying to discover which Morel family on the 1911 census of Ste. Anne de Beaupré in the Montmorency district of Quebéc took in paying guests from Ontario and the United States. My mother spent summers with the family when she was a child. The family owned a large farm as well as a guest house. I am particularly interested in obtaining a photograph of the farm house.

You must be the lady I phoned when I didn't hear from Stanley for a long time who told me Stanley had gone back to move into a Verteran's Home nearer your home. Is he doing alright? Stanley is my father's cousin. My grandfather, William Edgar Wenker was Marthe's older brother.

I suspected the worst as I have not heard from him. "is my father-in-law" sounds much better than "was", but I might be premature.

Lovely to hear from you!

My grandfather is Andrew Morel (1910-1990). His father's name is unknown to me, nothing by dead ends. He was married to Clara Gnam, daughter of Emile Gnam and Mary Cannon. Clara was born in 1888 in New Orleans and passed away in the early 1970s.

Does anyone have any information about Andrew's father.

Mi nombre es Eduardo Morel, soy dominicano tambien, vivo en estado de la Florida. Segun mi conocimiento Emilio A. Morel del Seybo era mi pariente. Este murio en Francia en el exilio debido a que se dedico a combatir a Trujillo. El era poeta. Segun informacion que tengo nuestro apellido se deriva principalmente de Francia. No es Morel es Morell. Por una razon u otra perdio una de las Ls. Algo similar le paso a mi esposa. Su apellido es Bethancourt pero al ser declarada perdio la la H ahora betancourt, el cual es un apellido diferente del resto de sus hermanos. Contactame y te pondre en contacto con una prima que tiene muchos datos historicos. Quizas podamos compartir informacion y llegar a un consensus de la historial real de nuestra decendencia.

MY MORELL FTDNA Y-DNA TEST RESULTS

morellwj54 — 2008-12-26 22:14:12Z

Hi Folks:

It has been about five months since I last introduced something regarding my family history. It all started years ago with my paper trail based on Family Records, World membership in Ancestry.com, and all the curious and kind people on many of the Surname Forums of Ancestry.com, Genforum, and the forums in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Germany that assisted in our mutual efforts.

Then I started my research with Surname History Associations like the House of Names and researched both Morell and Murrell since I had written proof that my ancestors held both surnames in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Both reports indicated that Morell and Murrell were of Anglo Norman descent and assisted the Normans at the Battle of Hastings & awarded Land in Kent & Norfolk Counties. I never came upon the name Morel or Morrell as being one of the derivations for my ancestors. I concluded that the name was only changed back and forth between Morell and Murrell and vice versa in Eastern and Northern Ireland for some reason or other.

Lastly I had FTDNA test my Y-DNA with 67 markers where they discovered I had two additional rare markers so I have 69 marker test done. I tested positive for the R1b1b2a1a (U106+). Based on the FTDNA Surname, Geographical, and Haplogroup Forums, it appears so far that I am of Frisian ancestry.

Frisia existed back between 1700 BC and 750 AD. Frisia included Northern Germany betweeen the Alps and the North Sea (Called German Sea back then), all of the Netherlands to the border of France, the Frisian Islands as they are today, and the South western coastline of Denmark.

The Frisians were the oldest of the six northern Germanic tribes (Frisians, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes, and Lombards). Between 250-450 AD they migrated to Kent & Norfol Counties in Southeast England and made settlements there, where nearby counties were mostly Saxon by 750 AD. Histroy also indicated that the Frisians assisted the Normans at the Battle of Hastings and awarded land patents as if they were Normans. About 1568, many Frisians migrated Nort to Scotland for religious reasons & settled in areas such as Dumfriesshire.

Anyway out of the millions of DNA donors, Morells were few. They had a Murrell DNA Project but it was few and I did not match any of them. I did have quite a few using the name Morrison that matched from Scotland and Netherlands.

I had over 300 Exact 12 Y-DNA marker matches, several hundred with only one marker difference, nd obvously a lot more with 2 and e marker difference. As they did more markers, the numbers declines and zoomed on to Morrison and a few other names.

I challenge Morells, Murrells, Morels, and Morrells to participate in the World's largest DNA Database that is the most advanced in the world today. The prices are much cheaper then elsewhere considering it is the largest. I recoommend especially male members to have both their Y-DNA and mtDNA done to the most amount of markers, it cost more to upgrade in the future. Once your main Haplogroup is determined, for Example R1a or R1b, they will offer a deep R Subclade Test for about $80-$90,definitely order it and you will have the best accuracy and resolution to date. If they offer more than 67 marker test, do that as well. If you sign the release form you will have contact access to other matching donors as they will if they sign the waiver, and you can communicate better. They will only have your email address. Join one of the Geographical groups such as where your most recent ancestor came from other than the united states. Prices are usually 50% off and if FTDNA is offering a monthly promotion, you get that as well.

All the above has been one terrific journey of both my ancestry and learning a lot of history a long the way. I can see why some schools assign this type of project to HS Students. They will learn how to research as a scientist does backing up all their sources using most recent knowledge basis.

My e-mail is john.reuther@kch-tr.sthames,nhs.uk.
My great grandmother was a monteton and came from Prussia about 1870. She married John Shaw in London, her daughter Mary was my Grandmother. I have a copy of a birth certificate of a Carl Heinrich von Monteton who was born in Frankfurt am der Oder in 1790. His mother was Anna Maria Falkenthalen and his father was a Leut von Monteton of the Von Breville Regt. It would appear that the family were Huguenots that fled France to go to Prussia. Have photo's taken in Berlin in 1860s only know Louisa, my Great Grandmother.

kentuckysue — 2008-08-18 22:04:20Z

Joseph S. Morel is the Morel I'm looking for. These notes are all I've been able to find out about him...

c. 1856 – Joseph was born in France

1900 – The census shows Joseph living in Cincinnati with his wife, Helen, and their children: Frank, Josephine, Mamie, Jennie, and Sylvia. He was listed as head of household. He was born in 1856, the month is illegible.
He had been married 13 years. He was born in France, as were both of his parents. He came to America in 1880 and had been here for 20 years. He was a naturalized citizen. He occupation was “Day laborer”
He rented his home. He could read, write, and speak English.

1903 – Joseph was a member of St. Paul’s Church, Cinti Ohio

1903, November – Joseph died. He was 47 years, 4 months old.

1903, November 9 – Joseph was buried at St. John’s Cemetery, 4423 Vine St. in Cincinnati (St. Bernard), Ohio. Grave 254, Section 10. The funeral home was Hackman and Dodt.

Notes about Joseph Morel:
1. The cemetery record says his parents were “F” and “A”. Possibly Francois (because Mom and Uncle thought Joseph’s middle name was Francois) and Antoinette (because Uncle said Sylvia Morel’s middle name was Antoinette.)??

2. Mom remembers a story about Joseph having a sister who was one of the original members of some convent in France.

Saw your message and was wondering if any of your Morel's were from France. My grandfather has been a mystery to us. The 1930 census lists his birthplace as Orleans. Have not been able to find anything about him. He at one time was in New Orleans, La and we have been told he had 2 sisters. Any help here?

Hello - I found these Morels on the 1920 census page that was sent to me by a friend, but they weren't mine. Maybe they "belong" to one of you. My friend got this from the Mormon library - he made a note that this family lived at 528 David st.

from the 14th census - taken on Jan. 13, 1920; enumeration dist. 259. Precinct 7089.

Morel, Robert H. -head of household - rented property - Male/white/24 years old/married/able to read&write/born in Ohio/ father born in France and spoke French/ mother born in Germany and spoke German/Robert spoke English/he worked as a core (looks like) maker at a foundry.

Morel, Elsie/wife/female/white/age 22/married/she could read & write/born in Ohio/father born in Tennessee/mother born in Tennessee/she could speak English/no occupation listed.

Morel, Robert E./son/male/white/age 4 mos/son/born in Ohio/father born in Ohio/mother born in Ohio

Hope this helps someone.
