A disambiguation of the origin and original spelling of the Housel surname. With references to the Bellis, Trimmer and Dierdorff families.

Text Sample below (see PDF for full document):

We recognize that there is no definitive primary record extant which explicitly states the European location from which the Hauschildt’s left to move to America. Nor is there such a record detailing when or how they made the journey. For that matter, the question “What is the proper surname for this family?” simply cannot be definitively answered.

Yet we believe that there are documented facts and findings that can provide us sufficient insight that support conclusions regarding each of the issues noted.

We believe that everyone who has worked early generations of nearly any family understands that there is rarely a “proper surname”. We believe that it is often necessary to choose between alternatives, using the full body of evidence available.
