Has anyone ever come across the name HANSCHELL in their research on the Danish Virgin Islands? 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. Wiltshire Friends of the Barbados Archives 38 Inglewood Place, Ottawa Ontario, K1Y 4C7, Canada
