Look at http://www.dkconsulateusvi.com/HDC/stCroix/trinity/trinity.html#Church%20#1 The text is: Church #1 "Sacred to the Memory of the Revd Hother Gustav Hanschell who departed this life on his passage to Europe on the 10th of May 1853. Aged 42 years. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Matth. V. 8. This tablet is erected by his congregation." Michael

Thank you to all for your very helpful responses re: HANSCHELL of the Danish Virgin Islands. Thanks to your help, I am fairly certain now that I have been able to piece together the Danish origins of the Barbados family. I do appreciate all your help! Ernest M.
