The City Directories were published from the 1700's until 1936 and contains every Fizell listed in those directories.

The 1930 US Census files include every Fizell in the USA. The surname spelling of the records include every Fizel, Fizell, Fizelle, Fizzel, Fizzell, and Fizzelle I can find. I will add other Fizell Records as I compile them.
