Welcome to the Rendall Family Genealogy page!



This is obviously an ongoing work, so please submit any additional information that you may have that ties in to the existing records found here. You can submit your pictures and information to this page's editor, Doug Rendall, at d1@rendall.com.

The earliest Rendall ancestor we have a picture of is Charles A. Rendall (1817-1916), shown here. Charles and his wife Ann Apsey had a whopping twelve children, eleven of whom had children, so most of the 1500+ records you see here are their descendants, but we know there are so many more! Please email us at the address above if you have more information to share with us, especially older pictures of some of these descendants.

You can start your journey by clicking on the picture of Charles shown here, or by checking out his great-great-grandfather, Joseph Rendall (1712-1792), the very earliest Rendall we have a record of, or you can start with any of the other relatives linked in one of the indexes below.
