Blackwell Genealogy
-   A two part history of the Blackwell Family of Gloucester, England; Minnesota, USA, and Canada.

The Blackwell Genealogy Website first started by expanding the memoirs of Lois Clarinda Twichell. In doing so, we were
able to back up to the year 1775 with more research being done. This date of 1775 finds John Blackwell 10. We created
the 10th generation for John Blackwell of 1775 as it was his grandson, George Blackwell 10.2.4 that married in Anoka, MN.
to Lois Clarinda Twichell in 1863. Lois was of the 12th Generation in the Twichell / Twitchell lineage. That meant that her
husband would assume a 12th generation place as we used the Twichell generations as our guide as they went back to
1410, farther then our Blackwell research had achieved. Working backwards, George's grandfather would be the 10th
generation. We then have stated that the first phase of the Website starts in 1775 to present day. As more research
continues, we will refer to pre 1775 family as in Phase 2.

This page is not to be considered factual (although we think it is) as we have not been able to document some of these
findings. However, we wanted you to see the direction we are taking and why. Likewise, someone may have confirming
information or proof of our error. Input from you and others will be a great help to us.

At this point research has found this family with a third born son by the name of John Blackwell and his Christening date is the same
as our John Blackwell of 1775. It is this John Blackwell that takes us into Phase 1 of our Blackwell Genealogy. As a matter of interest,
the other children are given the same first names as found in our later research. This is based on assumption.

Note
The Children of George Blackwell are the primary concern of Phase 1 of the Blackwell Genealogy as they are the ones who departed
England to come to Canada and the United States. All present day Blackwells of these lines are descended from the four sons of
George Blackwell and Mary Barradell. The two daughters, Elizabeth and Sophia had no children.
