HASKELL FAMILY HISTORY-Haskells Genealogy & International Database

Haskell Database includes nearly 60000 Haskells of English Origin who spread to

North America, Europe, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand. Updated 3 June 2011.

Haskell Family genealogy research by Haskells in numerous records over many years has

resulted in the most comprehensive Family History for Haskells of English Origin. Surviving

records for earlier times in the 12th-15th centuries are far from complete. Further records, now

available, have required adjustments to material you may find elsewhere. Haskell Obituaries

and Biographies are gradually being added.

Continuity of family lines begins around 1500AD within a few miles radius of Shaftesbury,

Dorset, England and spreads worldwide to North America, Europe, South Africa, Australia and

New Zealand. Most of today's Haskells have descended from these progenitors. Some

Europeans and Jews standardized their names following emigration. Earlier spellings included

Haskill, Haskoll, Hascoll, Heskell, Askell, Ascoll, etc. Similar surnames such as Hurscarl and

Hascall appeared in Somerset and Lancashire..... read more

Constant checking of original records ensures frequent updates to offline files and online

updates as often as practical. More details and/or corrections are very welcome. Many Haskell

village churches in Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somersetshire, England were visited in

2005, 2007 and 2008. Genealogy material has been gathered throughout the United Kingdom

during these visits. Several subscriptions to major online sites with digital images of original

records are maintained. Accuracy is strived for but not always possible due to source errors,

gaps in records or differences in interpretation of old handwriting styles.
