Surnames: Followell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Jh.2ADI/210.765.1.1 Message Board Post: I am sorry, but only saw your question today. Mahala Followell was the sister to my gg-grandfather Meridith. There were 7 kids in this family plus the mom and dad and all of their names started with a "M". I have been working on the Followell family for over 30 years. On the Family Tree Maker user home pages look for "The descendants of John Followell" and you will find a lot of info. I have found the family name spelled 10 different ways, but my granny who was born in 1875 liked to spell it Followwell.
