"Those who don't remember their ancestors don't deserve to be remembered!"

Hi There!  Are you my Cousin?  Thanks for coming to share a little time....

Please stay for a while, sign our FREE Guestbook, review our family FREE Brickwalls, and learn about this large PEAL/PEEL/PEELE/PEELLE family with over 48,872 descendents of Lawrence Peelle and 16,528 marriages.  However, I have 87,775 people in family tree my data base to include 29,778 marriages.

That Peelle history starts with our ancestor Lawrence Peelle who arrived in Virginia in late March or early April 1621.  The existing London Company records show that there were only 603 people recorded living in Virginia in March 1621 just as Lawrence arrived.  He was truly one of the first settlers of this, our great land.

After many years years of research with the assistance of my brother Marvin (deceased), I completed the publication of two books that attempts to capture the history and enormity of this wonderful family and some of its contributions to the formation of this nation as it spread across America.  The books cover over three hundred years of PARTIAL history... since no family history is ever complete.

In December 2011, the first book, the Peele Chronicles was published.  It is a 500 page book on the HISTORY of the Peelle/Peele/Peel/Peal family.  While the book contained some genealogy, it was primarily a history book showing the growth and movement of the family across the states through time.  It rapidly sold out with many copies being delivered for Christmas in 2011.

Then in March of 2013, the Peele Heritage was published.  It is a 750 page genealogy book listing the first ten generations of the family.  And likewise, these sold rather quickly also.  These are rare books with only about 300 copies each being published at that time.  These have become rare books.

Then in the spring of 2024, after many many requests for more books, both books were republished and are now available from LULU.COM, a company out of North Carolina.  They are a little more expensive than the originals published several years ago but they are available.  Please buy them while you can!

And last but not least, a quarterly newsletter by the name of "Lawrence, Etc." was published since 2001 through the first quarter of 2019.  These newsletters contains some very imprtant information on the family over the years.  All editions are posted on this web site in PDF format.  You may download these, print and read, etc.
