Randel Family Coat of Arms
My line of Randels have been mostly truck drivers or dirt farmers.
Good to know we have a coat of arms out there!
  Publications?
  L.A. Edwards. Randel family history, . Typescript copy of data found on Family record pages of a Bible printed by the American Bible Society, New York, 1857, and originally owned by Ezra Lathrop Randel, Ottumwa, Iowa. JACKSONVILLE PUB LIBR FL, US
  I've never heard of Ezra, but in c. 1845, James & Sarah Randel immigrated to Iowa from New York. And Ottumwa is less than 50 miles from Tracy, IA - where James, Sarah, and many other Randels are interred.
 
  C.P.R. Walters, Family of Joseph and Ann Randel, pp.53, 1960. Indexed under: Randall family, Randels family. ALLEN CNTY PUB LIBR IN, US
  A tenuous link? Don't know of Joseph and Ann, but Sally Ann Walters married Garrett Randel, c. 1829.
