I don't think there is a match. My Daniel Artel was born about 1840, confirmed by Catholic Church Funeral book. His funeral was in 1899, age noted as 59. Very interested in the name Artel - we were always told it was a French name, and we spelled it Artelle. Found the Artel spelling when I found Daniel in Rigaud, Québec, Canada. I can't find the Artelle spelling, only Artel, in ancestry data banks, and rarely of French origins. Would you know about the history and origins of the name Artel? Thanks very much.
