INTRODUCTION TO MAULE FAMILY HISTORY

These pages were previously included in the Maule Family History site. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to maintain that site because of illness. However, Jim has very kindly offered to archive these pages within the Maule Genealogy Home Pages.

My grateful thanks to Jim and to all the other Maule researchers listed below who have assisted me over the years and who have added so much to our present knowledge of the various branches of the family by their generous contribution of own researches and/or documents.

CONTENTS OF THE OTHER PAGES IN THIS SECTION

ABBREVIATIONS
I have used the standard Chapman Codes for all counties in Great Britain and Eire, the ISO3166 three-letter codes for countries. These, the codes for American and Australian States, for Canadian Provinces and a key to the other abbreviations that I have used in family trees and records are given on this page.

This page gives a brief history of some of the Maule families and their movement to various countries around the world.

A description and outline of the history of the town from which the main Maule families of France and Scotland originated and from which they took their name.

FAMILY TREES
A short history and a Family Tree of the Lords of Maule in France, the Earls of Panmure in Scotland, Maules in the family of the Earls of Dalhousie and the de Mauley family of Mulgrave Castle in Yorkshire. Extra biographical notes on some members of these families are linked directly from the family trees.

BIOGRAPHIES

My own collection of early Maule records in England from 1200 to 1600. These give a good idea of the spelling variations of the name used in the records of this country.

These links were all working in March 2000.
