ISHMAEL (m) 'God will hear' (Hebrew).   A son of Abraham and the traditional ancestor of the Arabs, also known to some as 'Wanderer'.  The prime character in the book 'Moby Dick'.   It is also the Title of a book by Daniel Quinn.  A strange but interesting aspect of man on earth.

The family trail has grown cold over the years.  The tracks lead back to a Benjamin from Pennsylvania in the early 1700's.  There are others with the same surname being found in places such as Wales?  But as yet the link to any beyond Ole' Ben  has not been found.  Should you have knowledge of  the Ishmael's surname, contact us.  There is an ISHMAEL family roots list at https://www.rootsweb.com, or contact me at Rexh at ishmaels dot net (note spam reduction address)
