I began searching the Schell family because relatives said we had been part of the Mohawk Tribe in Canada. Through DNA testing and research, it appears that's our Schell family came from Germany to New York, Pennsylvania and Canada with relatives eventually moving to Michigan. My biological grandfather was Almon Schell and my grandmother, Hazel Herrington Schell/Irons. Fascinating discoveries and stories, with relatives living with Indians through capture and Schells fighting Indians and Tories. Only beginning my search-any assistance will be appreciated.
