Hi

My name is Ian James Hextall I have been researching my family name now for some time. As a young lad I always remember asking my Family why are we the only Hextall`s around here and where does my name come from you guessed right nobody a had a clue. So really i have always had a interest in Genealogy and Our Family History.
I was born in Coalville in Leicestershire 28 June 1953 and I now live in a small town in Scotland called Denny, this is in Stirlingshire.
I am Building up as much interesting information about the name (Hextall) as I can
I would like to think that all this data would become a Free reference point for
anyone wishing to gain information about their Hextall Family Roots
I now have many interesting details about this name going back to the c1200 with around
1200 Connected Hextall family members in my tree with Branches in England i.e Leicestershire,Derbyshire,
Staffordshire,Warwickshire,Nottinghamshire,London and West Riding of Yorkshire
so far I have kept in touch With Hextalls from all around the world with their branches returning back to and connecting here in the U.K Canada,America,Australia,
A lot of this information if not most is not on any web site and never will be via myself and it is my wish that any information i may supply wont be added to Pay per view sites
I don't wish anyone To make a financial gain from this data. I have and do spend long hours as you may note from the timing of this email, Researching on this hobby/quest of mine. I must add that without the help and data input from good senior friends Keith Hextall (Sapcote Leic) & Frank Hextall (Barford, Warwick sadly no longer with us),my research would have been so much harder
I was hoping that you would like to help in acquiring some details that I may add to my research
i.e. your family connections, old photos, interesting stories. Please note that permission must be given if you are suppling details of a living Family Member
Remember this information is for all our Hextall generations yet to come.
Did you know we have Royal links with the Royal Tudors family after the Battle of Bosworth,
and that there is a c1200 church with beautiful stained glass Windows dedicated to the Hextall`s family (photo`s)
Hextalls were M.P`S also Mayors of Dover and lived in Dover Castle. You may wish to ask questions
about the Hextall family name. I will do my best to answer a.s.a.p all email's that I receive at
ian.hextall@btinternet.com
I hope that you may spare some time to reply to my email. If you feel that at this time it is not
possible that's fine.Would you please perhaps help me with some details of someone that might wish to help
with this surname research?
Very Kind Regards Ian
