TICKLE / TICKEL / TICKELL FAMILIES WORLDWIDE
This website is part of a one-name study of the surnames Tickle, Tickell and Tickel. If you are one of us, welcome to the site!
A one-name study researches all occurrences of these surnames, wherever they are found. My aim is to try to answer questions such as:
- Where did the surname/s originate?
- How did the names spread around the world?
- Are different family lines connected?
There are two distinct sources of the surname – some Tickles have English ancestors, while others have German ones. You can find out more in the Origins page.
A major focus of the site is stories about individuals and families from the past. If you have a story to share about your ancestors, please get in touch with me. I’d love to hear from you.
