This is a prominent Barbados merchant family which I am researching as one of my cousins married into it. I have discovered that the first in Barbados, Valdemar A. HANSCHELL was born circa 1850, St. John, Danish Virgin Islands. I have not found out who he married (or where) or who his parents were, though I have found 3 children (born circa 1880) & their descendants in Barbados. I should like to hear from anyone who has knowledge o the family. Thank you. Ernest Ernest M.

Thank you Ann! That is terrific! Carl A.E.F. Hanschell might very well be Valdemar's father. Not only is he in the right place at the right time, the names are right too: one of Valdemar's sons is named Valdemar Carl. An excellent starting point: much appreciated!
