Hi. My name is David John Chatel and I would like to welcome you to my Homepage.
I am a 52 year old Electrician, divorced with 2 children Lisa and Kirsty and I live in Jersey, a small Island in the Channel Islands, U.K. approximately 15 miles from France. My interests include Family History research, Computing and the Internet, and the Royal Antidiluvian Order of Buffaloes, of which I have been a member of for about 15 years.
You will find a link to the local and International R.A.O.B. pages below, along with other usefull links about the Island of Jersey.
Please visit my R.A.O.B. Website via the RAOB link.
For those of you researching your Family History in the Channel Islands or in Jersey, I recommend trying the Societe Jersiaise Web Site or Alex Glenndenning's homepage which covers many Family History Issues, and has several great links to other useful pages.
My personnel research centres around the CHATEL surname, who came to Jersey from Granville, FRANCE, about 1800 and its associated branches such as - TUCKER, CORNISH, BAUDAIN, COUTANCHE,
along with sub-branches such as
BRIGHT, PARKES, DE BOURCIER, GAVEY, LE TISSIER, THOMAS, LE MONTAIS, NELSON, ROSE, LE GAC, GREW, SCHROEDER, RADFORD, HIGGINBOTHAM, MORIN, RENOUF, MARET, HAMON, DE CAUX, DE FAIX, PICOT, PALLOT, LOINES, McMURRAY, McKENZIE, LAPPIN, BURTON, MUNRO, to name but a few - - and with links to France, England, Canada, New Zealand, Jersey, Alderney etc etc.
