Estacaille Family History Pages 

This genealogy database is constantly under construction as I slowly add records and images through my research of my Estacaille ancestors and cousins. 

My research started in the late 1990s, talking to grandparents, distant cousins, researching records for the names Istacaille, Istecaille, Estecaille, Estacalle, Estecalle, Estacaille and other variant spellings.  The search through various sources have taken me through discoveries of my Canadian ancestors & cousins (my branch), United States ancestors & cousins, cousins in  Uruguay, Argentina, Algeria, ancestral France, and Spain.

Wondering about the Estacaille surname origins and meaning? I’ve built a surname origins page dedicated to what I’ve learned.

This site contains only a portion of my entire database  of over 7,000 individuals as I have not included possibly living relatives.  There are individuals that have passed but missing death dates – actual or estimated. These individuals may be missing in the database, but I am slowly working on this issue, at least estimating birth/death dates so they will appear online.

The Estacaille genealogy database is created using another software program, so you may notice a difference in the design for this section, the blog, and the database.

The blog will contain stories of where my research has been leading, discoveries and brick wall musings as well as other tidbits from life.

While my website is in large part focused on my French-Basque genealogy, you will also find a fair amount of Scottish, English, German, Prussia-Russia families and a smattering of smaller ethnicities.  It’s filled with hard working farmers, shepherds, blacksmiths, sea merchants, soldiers, dressmakers, shoemakers, tailors, musicians… just to name a few.
