Eells Family Genealogy

I have been primarily been working on my Niles line since I started genealogy research in 1997. My mother's mother, now deceased, was an Eells. She passed away when I was still in diapers, so I never had the pleasure of meeting her. The outline below was derived in its entirety from the Eells Net. If you have any sources that support this information, I would love to hear from you.
