I do have Gosnell informaation back to about 1570 like I told you, but someone else put it on the internet: I have read on the internet that there was a Robert who was given a place called Goss Hall in England by one of the War Lords: he then became known as Robert de Goss Hall, then it became Gosshall, then Gosnall, and was spelled also Gosnold etc; it then filtered on down to Gosnell. I do know that Gosnell has been spelled Goznel, Gausnell, Gosling, Goslin, etc. Some people, is just not interested in Genealogy and won't respond for one reason or another. Lots of Luck in your search. Harold Gosnell in Louisiana:
