Please visit my online GEDCOM at the Rootsweb WorldConnect Project. You can see the most recent Bell "group sheet" by clicking here. I have traced my Bell line back mostly through the female ancestors from Bell to Morrow to Rowley to Lesnett. Dating back to Germany in the early 1700's. My fifth great grandfather Christian Lesnett died in 1807 and is buried in historic Old St. Luke's Cemetery in Bridgeville, PA with some of the more prominent names in Pittsburgh history. Christian Lesnett was a prominent figure in Allegheny County History. Click here to view more information on Christian Lesnett and his descendants.
