Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/NY/Columbia/11890 Surname: VanTexel, VanTessel, VanTassel, VanTassell ------------------------- I wondered if anyone knows of a William VanTassell,born May 1,1818-1895 who lived in hillsdale. He married a Ann Keron,born 1820-July 1852. Then on August 14,1853 William married a Harriet Frail,born 7-25-1819-11-16-1893. Both women ar believed to be from Hillsdale too. Any information I can get on them would be helpful. Thanks. Link: VanTassell's in Pennsylvannia URL: <http://www.geocities.com/VanTassellsinPenn.html>
