GENEALOGY OF THE AXSEL FAMILY IN SOUTH AFRICA

 

 

An interest in a family tree may start as a school project – amounting to a few photo’s and an ill prepared speech. I was no different.

 

When I first set out to ‘crack’ the Axsel family it was done with a sense of immediate anticipation. Being an unusual surname I thought it would be a matter of a few phone calls and in no time I would have the tree completed.

 

What I discovered is that the Axsel’s are a hard nut to crack! Now this may not be unique to us but it is sad that we do not know much about our own family. Family disputes are common and members of the same family have not spoken to each other for generations – and we don’t know the reason(s) why!

 

This is an effort to discover our common roots, asses family legend and record for all (as factually as possible) our collective family history.

 

It is a project that will keep me occupied the remainder of my living days, but one I gladly commit to! The links will be continually updated as I receive more information.

 

Please take a look at the family tree and a brief early history by following the link below.
