About the Author

A graduate of Syracuse University, NY with a BS in Public Communications, Sandra & Peter Bell have labored on this book for over 20 years. But there comes a time to hand over the information for future genealogists, as the work is never complete. Families have offered interviews, obituaries, photos and stories which have truly made this book a reality. David Bell was born in Scotland and went to England to find a wife. They had 8 children, and this is a compilation of their lives, backed by census reports when we could find them. This is only a tool for future genealogists to carry on. Sandra Bell has lost her husband of 22 years, but this was something he had dreamed of finishing, a book on his Bell family from Ulster. Sandra now lives in Bradenton, Florida.
