Hi - I've been lurking for a while and I wonder if anyone on the list has come across the name VAN HANSEL. It would appear that the name can currently be found in Belgium and Germany. So far we have found no connection in these countries to our ancestor 6-g-grandfather Garrick VAN HANSEL who died in 1710 in the coastal port of Manningtree in Essex, England. Garrick had four children and they dropped the VAN from their surname to become HANSELs. Any leads would be most welcome Val Sth.Australia
