Hello,
My maiden name is Beth Getchell, my grandfather’s name was John S. Getchell and my Fathers name is also John S. Getchell. My grandfather has passed however my Dad is still alive. Both there middle names stand for Seagraves. My dad was raised in Fall River, Mass. Getchell is a very rare name, and you do not here this name much at all. At my Grandfathers funeral his sister told me we also have Scottish in us, this I guess would explain why we all have dark hair and dark brown eyes but every once in a while someone from my family has a blonde haired bright blue eyed child.

Hello indications from my DNA (thus far apparently the only Gitchell, Gatchell or Getchell to have it done) confirms an English origin of the name. We are trying to find other males either Gatchell, Getchell or Gitchell to do DNA to confirm relationships back to Samuel and John of Massachusetts. If you know of any would certainly be pleased to know. Scott

Hi I am a Getchell, I think my family is from England. I would be willing to do DNA. I realize this message is old, lol.
