There is an old Anglo-Saxon family surname Odell. It translates as either wodehouse or woodhouse. In some US census the person writing it would presume it was a Celtic name and write O'Dell, when in fact it was Odell. One branch of the Odell family goes back to the early Dutch Rensselaer family with connections in New York state. I hope this helps some with your research. -- DelawareDon

'm looking for any info on O'Dell family from Limerick Ireland & movement from US to Canada
Would like to hear from anyone related to from any country.My family ended up in ST.John New Brunswick,Canada but are all over.
My direct ancestors came west in the late 1800's. They traveled through Ft. Smith AR heading west to California. There were nine children, and both parents. By the time they O'Dells reached present day DeKalb TX they had lost two children to illnesses. While camping for the night, one son, David O'Dell, was chopping wood with an axe. The axe glanced off the wood and hit David's leg. Soon gangreen (spelling?) set in and the boy died. The mother refused to take another step westward and insisted their journey's were at an end. They settled near present day DeKalb. The O'Dells donated the land and help to build the first Baptist church/School house in DeKalb. They are considered one of the founding families of that community. John and Josephine O'Dell were his parents.
Hi, I just wanted to let you all know about my family. My name is Danette, I am the youngest of 4 kids, and the only girl. My grandparents names are Marvin and Irene O'Dell. They had 7 kids. Catherine, Wanda, Roberta, Donna, Sharon, Mike, and Marla. Mike is my dad. He is the only boy. He married my mom Linda Banfield, in 1973. Their kids are Michael, Shane, Travis, & me. We really don't know much about the O'Dell name. I would like to know more about it. Thank you.
