Hi,
I'm living in Wexford, and am tracing my Frizelle family tree.
I've been in contact with Frizelles in various parts of the world, and have received a copy of a handwritten Frizelle family tree scroll from a guy in Australia, James Frizelle, which goes back to 1783 (my family tree goes back to 1717). His family tree has Frizelles in Strabane, Derry and Belfast, but I can't find any connection with my own tree.
I have set up a website,
www.frizellefamilytree.com, and I'm using that to try and collate info from various sources, I have also made both family trees available for download through the site (although not living generations, for privacy reasons), so I would love if someone could establish a connection between the two.
It seems that there were two separate movements of Frizelles to Ireland - the Palatines, and the Normans - so maybe there is no connection, I don't know, or maybe any connection is so far back that we'll never find it. But I'm not ready to give up yet!
Also, I'm going to the genealogy event in Dublin on Sunday - the event is on all weekend, 21st - 23rd October 2011, see
http://www.backtoourpast.com/mysitecaddy/site3/index.htm so if any Frizelles or Frizelle descendants would like to meet up to have a look through the family tree info that'd be great!
Jennie.
